My husband proposed again, jokingly, at Gornergrat because the view was just that overwhelming. We had planned ten nights across four towns and honestly every single one earned its place in the itinerary. Interlaken was calmer than we expected, a nice breather between the bigger sightseeing days. Zermatt was our favourite, waking up to the Matterhorn each morning felt unreal.
Lake Lucerne cruise at sunset was the most romantic evening of the whole holiday. Titlis was cold and crowded at the top but still worth the cable car ride up.
Gorgeous honeymoon overall, especially the Aletsch Glacier from Jungfraujoch. Our one grumble was Interlaken, the food options near our hotel were surprisingly pricey, so we ended up on simple supermarket dinners a couple of nights.
We had worried ten nights across four bases would feel restless, but each town earned its place. Interlaken was calmer than expected, a nice breather between the big sightseeing days, and Zermatt was our clear favourite, that first morning Matterhorn view is seared into me.
Alpine scenery throughout was breathtaking, especially the Cliff Walk at Titlis. Food options near the hotel in Interlaken were quite pricey though, so we ended up eating simple meals a couple of nights.
Beautiful in parts, but one cramped, tired hotel room in Interlaken let down an otherwise dreamy Zermatt finish.
