Spent a few days in Switzerland earlier this year, and honestly, I get the hype now.
The trip itself was half the fun. Driving through the mountains, taking the car train through the Alps, stopping for food, sitting in the sun with a Swiss wheat beer and snow everywhere around you. Hard to complain.
What I liked most was how normal the views started to feel after a while. You open the window in the morning and there’s just another ridiculous mountain view outside. Then you go for a walk, get a coffee, and somehow the street behind the hotel also looks like a postcard.
Zermatt was probably my favorite part. The Matterhorn at sunset looked almost fake, especially with the village lights coming on below it. Zurich was a nice ending too, much calmer than I expected, especially around the river in the evening.
Switzerland is definitely not a cheap place to travel, but it’s one of those places where the views keep making you forgive the prices.
