Mount Pilatus summit views on the golden round trip left us both speechless, a genuine bucket list moment.
Check in at one hotel along the route took nearly an hour with no clear explanation, ate into an evening we had planned to spend walking around instead. The itinerary itself, especially the Jungfraujoch and GoldenPass sections, was genuinely lovely, just wish the logistics on that one day had been smoother.
Bit pricey but totally justified once we reached Jungfraujoch and stood among the glaciers, that view is worth every bit of the cost. Maison Cailler's chocolate tasting afterward was a lovely, sweet contrast.
Beautiful throughout, though our Jungfraujoch day drew a bigger midday crowd than we'd imagined.
Montreux lakeside walk in the evening light was the quiet romantic moment we needed on this trip.
Lucerne lake cruise on the first proper day set a calm, romantic tone for the rest of the trip. Bern's old town felt a little rushed though, we would have liked one more evening there before moving on.
