Suggestions for Switzerland

[Marie]

I wouold like to know if anyone has any suggestions of a town to stop in in Switzerland for 1 or 2 days on my way from Italy to Germany.

3 days and counting and still not sure what I want to see!!

Why don't you go to the Murren/Wengen area of the Berner Oberland. I plan to go in August and I have to admit it looks absolutely lovely. In particular why don't you check out Gimmelwald. It's hostel is quite popular.

Check out these websites:

Gimmelwald Mountain Hostel: www.mountainhostel.com

You may also want to go to Lucerne or Bern. They are both supposed to be lovely cities!

Then there is always Zermatt -- which is where the Matterhorn is.............

Cheers!

Yea i definitly have to recommend Gimmelwald and do the kitchbalm hike:) Also gimmelwald is probably in the most beautiful place in the world. Another place u have to go through to get to Gimmelwald would be Interlaken. But its more touristy but if u like extreme sports i would absoutly recommend it. Also do paragliding wether u are into it or not:) Best thing u will see!
cheers
