We visited Interlaaken stayed at Lazy Rancho 3 years ago and had an amazing holiday. Have decided on similar holiday this year in June and would welcome suggestions for similar surroundings in either Austria or Switzerland.We like walking and cycling but only really on flat!

All suggestions about best area most welcome. Thanks

Excellent reason not to go to France and go to Austria instead! Try Kleinwalsertal in north west of the country. A beautiful valley with excellent cycling and walking infrastructure. The camp site at the southern end is the one we would recommend, if you stay more than 3 days you get free public transport travel pass. We like to go somewhere different every year so are trying very hard to resist the temptation to return this year after one of our best ever holidays there last year.

Hi Sorry not got back to you before Martatin.  I have visited Allweglehen Site to look and wasn't impressed we have always well 4/5 times stopped at Winkl-Landthal and it takes ACSI Card other site doesn't. Winkl gives you discount/free card for transport and attractions and bus stop right outside the campsite train station nearby too.

When we went to Bamburg a few years ago though, we stopped here and it was lovely situated just outside the smallest walled city of Germany of Sesslach.  Not far from Bamburg or Coburg both must see towns.

Had a boat trip on the Danube from Bamburg see here Trip 2005.

Hope this helps.  If you would like to email me dvt1402@hotmail.co.uk  with your email address I can send you more details and route.

I have camped in both counties but will never visit Switzerland again.  Found it the most expensive place I have ever been to. You cannot stop your car without paying fees and pitches are very small..  Austria is expensive but nothing like switzerland and the campsites are far better, larger pitches less cost but as always green taxes on top.

I also found Austria more friendly and nicer to be in.  Switzerland has a surprising amount of  dull countryside and industrial areas.
