Five days not enough brother

During deep winter? Why?

Anyway interlaken region lo. I spent 4 days there a few years back

Hire taoyu

Switzerland winter season is peak

Many ski resorts

brapa bajet?

Ya, agree. Interlaken itself can easily eat up everything. So many activities can be done there.

Can try to cramp either Lucerne or Zermatt too. But 5 days is too short for swiss.

Those suggested to travel other part of Europe within 5 days likely followed those agency trip. There's so much to do in swiss that I felt a week there barely sufficient for me.

Lol all touch n go, literally following agency. Bad advice to fully appreciate swiss. But need to have a strong wallet if really wanna enjoy.

Go to Grindelwald, I spent a week skiing there last December. It’s easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve skied

5 days including flight? yes.

To better appreciate Switzerland, go hiking in the mountains.

Age? Got kids?

Is Rolex tax free there?

The key to planning any trips is to decide your priorities

What do you want to do in Switzerland?

Skiing, shopping, sightseeing, hiking, do you prefer rural or city

Do you want to move around several locations, or prefer to stay at one place for longer

Alang2 going to Swiss

Better 10 days la

Agree, 10 days feels more worth it, but food is super expensive.
