Switzerland is UNPREDICTABLE | Grindelwald-First Cliff Walk | Jungfrau Switzerland Train Travel Pass

Travel Vlog #98 | Grindelwald-First, Switzerland

Today we are once again traveling to Switzerland on a BUDGET! We have our Switzerland Train Travel Pass in hand (for this area, it's the Jungfrau Swiss travel pass), and heading up into the mountains.
We train from Interlaken to Grindelwald before catching a cable car up to Grindelwald-First, Switzerland - one of the best viewing platforms in the Swiss Alps! From the top, you have access to one of the best views in the area by walking along the side of the mountain on a metal bridge (AKA the Tissot Cliff Walk)! From there, you can see the entire Jungfrau, Monch, and Eiger range, as well as the Grindelwald valley below (on a clear day). This cable car is included in our Swiss Travel pass, which means you can use it as many times as you'd like. We waited around for a little bit to see if the clouds cleared, but since they didn't, we headed back down to Grindelwald village to explore. Mountains make the weather very unpredictable, and this day is no exception - it was completely cloudy up top and sunny in the valley! Since the sun ~seemed~ to be coming out, we headed back up the cable car.
After getting back up to First, we realized it was still about the same - cloudy as heck. While this view isn't ideal, it does have its upsides: you have almost the entire cliff walk to yourself and the rain really can make the green grass pop. We were planning on heading back down when a HUGE hail storm came through. We hid out under the awning and waited for it to pass.
Afterwards, we headed back to Interlaken where we made our dinner for the night (at home - to save money of course)!

All of the transportation in this video is included in the Jungfrau pass. We're going to do a separate video over just the pass, but in general it comes out to roughly $50-70/day depending on which one you choose.
We spent quite a bit of time here, so make sure you're subscribed to see all of our Jungfrau Switzerland travel guides and vlogs :)

Here are our tips listed out to budget in Switzerland!
1. Shop at grocery stores - our favorites are Coop and Migros!
2. Buy a travel pass - we bought the Jungfrau pass since we're in the Jungfrau region
3. Take advantage of the cable cars/trains that are already discounted and included in your travel pass
4. Hike a lot! They're free and a great way to see the scenery.
5. Keep looking for accommodation until you find something that fits your budget
6. Book somewhere with your own kitchen so you don't have to eat out. Make sure it includes utensils and cookware!
