We
admit Our holiday suggestions in Switzerland were reached by car
from England so we have not explored travel by air. The Swiss
Railways, however, will provide perfect punctual connections from
an airport to Lucerne or Lauterbrunnen in the spectacular Bernese
Oberland. The Swiss landscape defies description, and walking high
above the valleys is made easy by level paths and a wonderful
system of cable cars and cog railways. These are showcased in the
National Transport Museum in Lucerne.
|
 
Highlights
and places to visit:
Lauterbrunnen (Bernese Oberland)- A perfect centre for
touring the dramatic valleys and snowcapped peaks by the charming
cog railways... to places like Wengen and Murren, where you can
take endless hiking trails or cable cars even higher. The
Jungfraujoch, "Top of Europe", where there is
everlasting snow, is breathtaking and very popular.
Lucerne- is a beautiful and perfectly restored medieval
city adorned with clocks and towers along the city wall. The
wooden bridges over the fast flowing river are a huge attraction
to visitors. Take a fabulous steamer strip on Lake Lucerne and
hop- on hop- off all day at various lakeside resorts. The Swiss
Transport Museum is highly recommended.

Footloose in Switzerland ~
2 films on this DVD:
|
Part one~Lauterbrunnental and
Kleine Scheidegg... The village of Lauterbrunnen, with Wengen and Mürren,
situated in the picture-perfect glacial valley set among lofty
snowcapped peaks, mountain meadows and over 60 waterfalls
(including the Trummelbach falls), is the base for two spectacular
walks.
 
Debra and David walk
high in the Bernese Oberland where stunning alpine flowers grow,
and take the cog railway from Kleine Scheidegg to the eternal snow
of the Jungfraujoch, 'Top of Europe'. Then under the shadow of the
mighty Eiger they walk down to Grindelwald with superb views of
glaciers and valleys that make this area so special. The film
features an interview with the Lauterbrunnen lacemakers, still
creating beautiful lace unique to this valley.

Part
two~Discovering
Lucerne
Lucerne lies at the geographical heart of Switzerland; medieval
bridges span the river Reuss and palaces, churches and spires fill
the skyline. Debra and David walk the ancient streets and city
walls and take a nostalgic steamship cruise on its wide blue
lake, which is cradled by magnificent mountain scenery.
A visit to the world famous Swiss Transport Museum
brings together Switzerland's unique and special modes of
transport. The wonderfully inspired music in both films is
composed and performed by Barnaby Smith.
 
These 2 films are part of a twenty-two episode "Footloose in
Europe" television series for international distribution ...see Broadcast
