Switzerland - 10 Days and you'll want more
Adventure 17-06-2024
I know, I Know, this is not the companion you expected for this post:
But, we did not use the sport mode. Ever 🙊
What we did was to take some data to compare the costs of travelling by car compared with bikepacking:
BikePacking versus Travelling by Car - The costs
How gas price increase are affecting your traveling costs. The comparison with a bycicle. Discover what I found out based on this data driven experiment.
And enjoyed fantastic landscapes
I started the trip couple of days alone.
With very interesting views.
Visiting for the first time the Rhine river:
The “recipes people follow” on this side of the shore seems to work better.
And from there the Rhine comes.
The city from where she shot is taken is Rheinfelden
And old people seems to be made out of other material…
The owner of this motorbike was also resting and he spoke to me in German (or Swiss?)
Despite he mentioned that he was not good at English - We could communicate perfectly, we discussed what we were up to, where we were heading…
…and… I had to ask for a video on how that BMW engine sounds during startup.
It seems that this person had made proper decisions during his youth and now lives his life without damaging 3rd parties.
Was he using some leverage? I did not ask.

The landscapes in the area looked like this:
These were quite different to the ones I found in Estonia:

Exploring Zurich and Rhine Falls
I was about to miss this spot.
Needed to check the dance life in Zurich last night.
And then I had a good surprise in the airbnb I stayed.
Not only the host was so kind, but there were 2 other guests, from Taiwan.
I was planning to go to Zurich during the day and have a walk, as my friends were landing that afternoon.
But instead, they mention that their plan was to see Rhine Falls:
So…you gave me the plan. You come with me with the car.
I was very happy with the companion and…
…it does not count at taking someone for hitchhike, but I saved them some time getting there in public transportation.
Once my friends arrived, we tested the regular (not dancing) Zurich nightlife.
And even if it rained, it looked amazing:
Exploring Mountains in Switzerland
We were so lucky with the weather to be able to explore the Interlaken area.
We made several hikes in the area.
Its interesting to see the rural Switzerland.
Anyways, wherever you go, its very clean.
We went up to a glaciar, but the way was still closed (in June)
Closed? well, the bridge was still there…
Guess who was so intelligent to bring this shoes for the hikes.
I had many epic saves and in the future, will not underestimate when this friends talk to me about hikes!
The amount of snow at both sides of the road was as high as a person.
My fav mountains spots:
- Lauterbrunnen
The Swiss French Area
I have mixed feelings about this region.
It is definitely not the same as the german speaking side - and I am not only talking about the language (and landscapes).
Personally, I cant wait to go back to Switzerland.
And even if the French area looks also great during night, my heart is with the mountains (swiss side)
But, if you are into food, being in the french speaking area has its advantages:
My Conclusions about Switzerland
- You can listen to 3 different languages in the radio by just switching the radio channel!
- For next trips with people, I will be ready with a SettleUp Alternative without Registration - Spliit
FAQ
- I’ve used Airalo esim and we can both get 3$ discount if you use my referal:
JESUS4593 - Book your tickets for these trains (the views are worth it - we made it during the descent)
