Switzerland Travel Vlogs in Sinhala — Zermatt, Interlaken & Lauterbrunnen

Switzerland was a dream destination for us, and these Sinhala episodes show why — from the car-free village of Zermatt at the foot of the Matterhorn to the waterfall-lined Lauterbrunnen valley.

We cover one of Europe's most scenic train rides across the country, an Interlaken hotel review, paragliding over the lakes, and the autumn colours of the Swiss Alps.

Tips for visiting Switzerland as a family

  • Trains are the best way to see Switzerland — the rail network reaches almost every village, and the journeys themselves are part of the trip.
  • Look at a Swiss Travel Pass if you'll be moving around a lot; it covers most trains, buses and lake boats and gives discounts on many mountain railways.
  • Travelling with children? Ask about the Swiss Family Card, which lets kids travel free on most public transport when accompanied by a parent with a valid ticket.
  • Zermatt is car-free — you arrive by train (usually via Täsch or Visp) and walk or take electric taxis in the village.
  • Interlaken makes a good base for Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and the Jungfrau region. Pack layers: mountain weather changes quickly, even in summer.
  • Sri Lankan passport holders need a Schengen visa for Switzerland — apply well ahead of your travel dates.

Switzerland travel FAQs

How do you get to Switzerland from Singapore?

Singapore Airlines flies direct from Singapore to Zurich, and there are many one-stop options via the Middle East or Europe. From Zurich airport, trains connect directly to most of the country.

Is Switzerland good for a family trip?

Yes — it's safe, clean and easy to get around by train, and children often travel free on public transport with a Swiss Family Card. It is expensive, so self-catering and supermarket picnics help a lot.

Zermatt or Interlaken — which is better?

They're different. Zermatt is all about the Matterhorn and a car-free alpine village; Interlaken is a central base for Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald, lakes and adventure activities like paragliding. If you have time, do both.
