I was just speaking to my contact at Switzerland's biggest travel agency the other day and he told me something shocking! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

One of the most popular train passes for visitors to Switzerland is changing for the worse in 2025.

So, I asked him to give me the lowdown on what was happening and how to explain it to my readers as simply as possible.

---- โ„๏ธ SNOW IS MELTING โ„๏ธ ----

Easy come, easy go. That is how the mid-season snow is in Switzerland.

People were writing to me and my Facebook Group asking about problems with hikes like Mannlichen, Bachalpsee etc.

Things seem to be improving with Mannlichen open and the weather warming up next week!

---- ๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿป PERSONAL UPDATE - LET'S ADD A CABLE TIE TO MY KNEE ๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿป ----

In other random news, I booked in some arthroscopic surgery for my annoying knee problem in November. My surgeon/guru will be tying down my cruciate ligament with some kind of weird cable tie!

So, I will be out of action for a while in November.

โ€‹CUSTOMIZABLE RAIL TOURSโ€‹

Did you know I work with Switzerland's premiere rail tour organisers?

And they are offering 5% off with code AFFSWITZERLANDING on all their rail packages - which you can customize yourself on their website!

I went traveling with these guys in July and they have been living and breathing Switzerland for decades!

And with it being SO HARD to get a spot on many of the top panoramic trains (Glacier, Bernina) it pays to work with an agency that has spots already locked in :>
