I’m planning to head back to the Alps (Interlaken area) for May and June. Any chance any other nomads are planning a similar trip and have an interest in pooling our resources for housing since it can be a bit on the pricey side there? Let me know!

I’m planning to head back to the Alps (Interlaken area) for May and June. Any chance any other nomads are planning a similar trip and have an interest in pooling our resources for housing since it can be a bit on the pricey side there? Let me know!
Still a bit out of our current bootstraping budget (especially with higher CHF) but Swiss, French and maybe Italian and Austrian Alps remains on our radar for next year.
Wow, great idea. Interlaken is awesome. I might be interested. What do whole month prices look like?
Varies a bit, but I bet we could find a two-bedroom for maybe 900 francs per month or so.
Depends on your dates, possibly late June/Early July (already have plans for May and first few weeks of June). It’s me & my partner.
I’m hoping for someone who can commit to a whole month (either all June or all May). Short-term rental prices here are brutal. One month is usually a bit more doable. I’m planning to leave in July and August for Eastern Europe.
