Hello,
Greetings from Vermont, USA! I am planning a trip to Switzerland for my husband's 50th birthday. Switzerland, particularly Wengen, holds a special place in our hearts, and we've visited the country twice before, exploring Wengen, Murren, Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, Montreux, Vevey, and Zermatt.
Although my husband's birthday falls on November 30th, which might not be the ideal time to be in Wengen, we are still determined to fly to Switzerland for the entire week (the last week in November). Our plan is to spend at least three days in Wengen, where we are considering renting an apartment since many hotels may be closed during that period. I'm curious if any trails will be open for hiking at that time. While it might be too early for skiing, which we don't mind, any suggestions for activities would be greatly appreciated.
Before heading to Wengen, we are looking for ideas for a 3-4 night stay. We are drawn to non-commercial and unique places, preferably located higher in the mountains or at least in small, distinctive villages. Considering that the end of November might see many places closed, any recommendations would be helpful.
Thank you for any ideas and assistance!
