Hey All.
Planning a trip to Switzerland for. June, 2025.
1) Best places to visit with teen girls? Sounds like Berner Oberland is top of the list. The girls are interested in the mountains!
2) In addition to mountains: What about the city of Bern?
3) Would it be redundant to do both Zermatt & BO? (After Switzerland we'll be heading to the Dolomites which we know & love so we'll get more mountains there).
Appreciate your recommendations. Thanks!
My girls loved BO and Luzern. They were 20 at the time. Luzern is a strikingly beautiful city on a river with a world famous bridge and a lake, surrounded by mountains. They loved taking a boat across the lake and then the cog wheel train up to the top of Mt. Rigi. They also enjoyed our day trip from Luzern to Bern. Bern's old town with unique fountains and clock tower is fun to visit. We went to the Einstein museum in the larger museum because one of the girls was very interested in physics and Einstein. You can also visit Einstein's home and if they are interested in art, there is the Paul Klee museum.
Thanks, Jules m!
How much time have you allotted for this area before the Dolomites?
We'll have seven nights/six days before heading to the Dolomites. Totally flexible at this point. I'm in early trip planning stage. :)
I would suggest the later in June the better for the BO in case the weather has closed some trails. If you happen to be arriving in Zurich I would head to Luzern and spend a couple of days there first. Enjoy.
