SWITZERLAND Readers's Tips - It's a bit of a mad dash, long and expensive, but sure, it can be done.re you absolutely convinced you must go to Gimmelwald of all places Nothing wrong with it, but it's a highup mountain place with nothing much else except a hostel (good luck finding space in August and serious hiking trails. It's not easy to get to Gimmelwald a train from Interlaken, a bus, and a long walk (about 1 and189; hours, then a gondola ride.r two trains to Mand252;rren, a long walk, and a gondola. It's the end of the world no shops, no nothing. I hope you have backpacks for serious walker/hikers, not suitcases, they won't get you to Gimmelwald. believe you also have to bring your own groceries etc.make sure you know the rules (www.mmelwald.m. If you go, you will have to count on spending at least two nights there, because you don't even get there until late afternoon, then you should have at least one full day, spend the night, then leave if you must (although it's fairly pointless to go for only one day, considering how much it costs and how long it takes but that's for you to judge, of course.

I would strongly suggest that you spend the short time you have being based in Paris, in an affordable hotel not right in the center, that brings the price down.ith the metro you can be anywhere real quick.t can get hot and muggy, so if you shop for a place with a/c that could be wise.
