The Titlis Cliff Walk in Switzerland is challenging and exciting for many people. The air quality here is exceptionally good, and there are high-altitude views to behold. It is definitely attractive and impressive for tourists. Here is a sharing of the price of the Titlis Cliff Walk in Switzerland.
1. Due to the tipping culture in overseas destinations, guests need to tip tour guides, drivers, and hotel and restaurant staff, totaling 96 euros. In addition, some hotels in Europe charge a city tax. The total cost for the entire trip is 50 euros. These two parts of the cost will be collected and paid by the tour guide or team leader overseas.
2. Passport fees; visa-related fees: such as notarization and certification for minors.
3. All private consumption in the hotel, including luggage handling fees.
4. All other expenses not mentioned in the service items.
5. Personal injury and property losses caused by tourists due to their own negligence during free activities.
Switzerland is so famous that anyone can say: I know, Switzerland has chocolate, Swiss Army knives, fairytale scenery, banks, ski resorts, high welfare…
However, most tourists to Switzerland have a very tight itinerary, especially tour groups who sleep on the bus and take pictures when they get off the bus. They take a quick tour and leave. It’s a pity. Because Switzerland is really a very lovely place, it is really special. Of all the books I have read about Swiss culture and travel written by Chinese people, Dengbulugu’s “To Switzerland” is undoubtedly the most sincere and down-to-earth. Dengbulugu’s real name is Li Dan. She was lucky enough to be invited by the Swiss National Tourist Office to travel and interview in Switzerland seven times, so she described Switzerland in her book in great detail, which even locals may not be familiar with. It is truly a good book to get to know Switzerland. It is full of pictures and texts, giving you a sense of being there. Although as a reader who has lived in Switzerland for more than ten years, I think that this book, although full of dry goods, is limited in scope, and it is far from enough to introduce Switzerland. Therefore, I will take on the identity of a half-native and continue to tell the story of Switzerland when I have time.
Switzerland has four official languages, with Bern, which is more like a medieval town than a capital, Zurich, the global financial center, Geneva, home to the United Nations headquarters and the International Committee of the Red Cross, Lausanne, the Olympic center, Basel, the global pharmaceutical center, Lucerne, one of the top ten tourist cities in the world, and the most convenient public transportation network in the world, making anyone who comes to Switzerland for a trip linger.
Traveling by train in Switzerland is highly recommended in the book, for example:
1) A Swiss Pass can be used for unlimited transfers on all public transportation in Switzerland within the validity period, including state-owned trains, boats, long-distance buses, and city buses. It is very comfortable and also allows free admission to over 400 museums nationwide.
2) On the transportation website www.sbb.ch, you can enter any two addresses in the country and instantly get complete transportation transfer information, including transfers between trains, buses, and boats, as well as specific train numbers, times, platforms, and the exact time required for each journey. All the information is readily available, you can absolutely go out on time because Swiss transportation is known for its punctuality and safety.
3) Swiss people like to live in the countryside, they like to say “our village”, and the so-called village is a small community with completely natural scenery, like pearls scattered around the city within a half-hour drive, because from any big city center, you can see forests, meadows, snow mountains, and lakes within fifteen to twenty minutes by car, everything is in plain sight, and the plains are basically all villages connected by train, so transportation is convenient. Remember that two years ago, a friend brought her child to play, and on the way from the airport to Zurich, the little girl sincerely exclaimed: “How come Zurich is like a rural area, there are not even any high-rise buildings, it is not as good as our Qingdao!”
But Swiss people dislike being cramped in the city facing the dense houses and streets. Although compared to other developed countries’ big cities, Switzerland is picturesque, with more than 1,500 lakes, every big city is half mountain and half lake, living here is already very comfortable, Zurich and Geneva have been consistently ranked among the top ten most livable cities in the world for a long time.
Swiss people still love nature more, they also love family, and their favorite thing to do on weekends and holidays is to go out to nature with the whole family. Swiss people are simple and disciplined (even rich people are like this), very traditional, even conservative, but they have been rated as the country with the number one “Global Innovation Index” for six consecutive years. Despite this, Swiss people are keen to preserve tradition, so in the book, you can see many farms, centuries-old shops, ancient buildings, and workshops (whether making chocolate, cheese, or various special wines), they have been striving for authenticity for centuries, guarding their lakes and mountains, living a quiet and leisurely life.
Perhaps this is the truly charming aspect of Switzerland.
Of course, Switzerland is often criticized for its exorbitant prices, which is because the purchasing power of the Swiss franc remains very strong. Actually, after a thorough comparison of the local consumption level of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, I personally think that it is actually much cheaper than in China.
The book mentions Kronenhalle, a very famous restaurant in Zurich. The small restaurant is hung with 115 genuine paintings by world-renowned painters. You might be sitting under the works of Picasso, Miró, Chagall, etc., eating, with no distance, within reach! The most incredible thing is that as long as you don’t order famous wines, you can eat the most delicious food at top-notch restaurants for about 50 Swiss francs (please don’t immediately convert it to 300 yuan, imagine the possibility of eating at such a level of restaurant in China for 50 yuan). Moreover, if you don’t finish eating, you can ask the elegant and professional waiters to refill for you… unlimited refills, until you are completely satisfied!!! No one will look at you sideways… don’t worry!
As for Switzerland, there is also Hiltl, a vegetarian restaurant in the heart of the city, which is ranked first in Europe and has been passed down for four generations. The dining environment is very elegant and fashionable, and you can have a high-end vegetarian buffet for 30 Swiss francs. It is super popular. Their family has been vegetarian for generations, and the fourth-generation head of the family is very young. He lives opposite my friend’s house. He is very wealthy but very low-key. He always wears a T-shirt and rides a small motorcycle to work.
This is also a very typical Swiss way of doing things. Sometimes I think, Swiss people live very transparently and understand that life is their own, they can live it however they want.
