Been a few times, and it is lovely. But yes, the Swiss franc has gone up in value as fast as the Pound has fallen- so prices are more expensive than ever, just due to exchange rates alone.

The Bernese Oberland is one of the most touristy place and with prices to match. There are many very beautiful regions which are not so touristy, and where prices off season, are very very reasonable. Smaller older Hôtels, B&Bs and RnB.

We had a couple of caravan holidays in Interlaken that made it much more affordable, camping would be good too. It’s a long way to go but worth it for the gorgeous scenery, we went in May when the peaks were still snow covered.

If anyone would like information on Switzerland, we have just returned from a wonderful time in the Berner Oberland. However, it must be born in mind that the cost of simply everything there is eye-wateringly expensive. We can point you in the right direction so that the cost is not too outrageously high.
