I had been under Swiss Alp from 11.02.2024 to 23.02.24.. I got mesmerized by the beauty of Swiss Alp. The villages preserved their beauty at its best. Eco friendly environment, the hi tech swiss Rail, the cooperative people, the natural beauty of nature made me emotional while moving back.The one time must visit place on earth 🌎.

Love this website! It has all the info you need to plan an amazing Swiss vacation. I love the input from fellow travelers. I downloaded a 50-page document about Wengen, and used the suggestions to plan all our daily activities. I love the discounts on train tickets and other activities they share as well. Definitely sign up!

This site made a huge difference for our trip to Switzerland. A wealth of great information and links that made our travel planning a lot easier. The end result, we had a great trip and stayed in a couple cities that weren’t initially on our radar. (especially loved Wengen). The Swiss Rail Pass made traveling everywhere a breeze. Definitely will use this site again.

I would recommend Myswissalps.com to anyone traveling in Switzerland. This is a group of informed, thoughtful people who have no purpose other than making your experience as good as it can be. I have a little knowledge of the area, especially Interlaken and Unterseen, and based on that I can say that they know their stuff. I rely on them to provide what I need and recommend them to friends and family who get the notion that I know more than I know. Thank you for being there!

The BEST site for any information about Switzerland! Anna, Ildiko, Arno and their friends administer the site. They are extremely helpful, efficient, patient and responsive. They reply right away to the questions. Their answers are always correct and they provide the links if you need more details. The site is very user friendly, the forums are to the point and you can get advise from the best places to visit, to very specific train travel questions, to tens of Covid related questions. Anything you need to know to travel to Switzerland! Thanks to MySwissAlps group, I got all my answers for my trip next week. I highly recommend them.

One of the most helpful, useful and must have forum for independent visitors to Switzerland. All your questions, doubts and queries are immediately answered/ cleared to your utmost satisfaction. They make you very comfortable and confident for your independent trip. And they do this out of their love for their country without charging a dime.
