Coronavirus: Swiss Alps yearn for the sound of tourists

In Grindelwald the views are breathtaking, but the hotels are empty

This weekend Switzerland's mountain railways and cable cars can start running again. In Grindelwald, home of the Eiger and the world famous Jungfrau"top of Europe" railway - altitude 3,454m - this is very good news. "We've had this hotel since 1886, and to find a similar situation to now, we would have to go back to the Second World War, when everything was closed."Grindelwald's director of tourism, Bruno Hauswirth, believes the re-opening of the mountain railways is the key to bringing tourists back. After all, more than a million people took the train up to the Jungfrau last year alone.

These are the same measures put in place across Swiss public transport with one slight difference. On Switzerland's high-speed intercity trains you cannot open the windows. On the mountain railways, and in the cable cars, you can.Nevertheless, the alpine communities know there will be questions about the safety of crowded cable cars.

More Bollocks from the BBC. Where the Fuck is the Real news. You rip of the British people for millions every year and then come up with this shit. Presenters getting paid 100s of thousands every year. The BBC used to be a respected broadcaster. Shame on you.

Our family stayed in grindelwald 2 years ago it is beautiful. We highly recommended it.

Yearn on, no ones coming

Die Alpen sind gut aber die Pilatusenbergen sind besser ... Ich hatte einmal dort gewohnt ;) ! Les Alpes sont biennes mais Les Pilatus sont mieux! Il y avait une fois que j'avais habité la-bas. ;) ! The Alps are nice but the Pilatus range is better. I used to live there ;) !

Yodel.

I imagine most tourist destination's residents feel the same.

Rich tourists!

They have to stop this game..

Because in March we had not reached the peak. FCO travel advice was in place to advice travelers against all but essential travel and government successfully repatriated 1.3 million people stuck abroad. 200k people repatriated from Spain alone.
