GETTING THERE

Many major airlines fly to Zurich, Switzerlan­d including Qantas, Etihad and Singapore Airlines. From there it’s about 2 hours 20 minutes to Interlaken where trains depart regularly for both Meiringen and Grindelwar­d (about 45 minutes each). Consider buying a Swiss Travel Pass as this can significan­tly cut your transport costs. Day passes like the Supersaver also include most of the bus, train or boat trips you’ll want to do.
