That's looking quite well organized. It's great that you've allowed adequate time for travel between locations. One point to mention though. As you're planning to "see lauterbrunnen I mean see everything around there", be sure to budget accordingly as Switzerland is expensive (especially the trip to the Jungfraujoch)!

You've given yourself an adequate buffer against bad weather in the Alps. Well played, old chap... unless this trip will take place in late fall or spring.

Thanks guys. I will be leaving sept 12 and will be hitting oct fest was well in munich but I think I hit when it starts which kinda sucks cause I know it will be very busy. So I will be hitting Swiss around sept 15 or 16 I don't think the weather is bad during that time. By the way guys is it difficult to travel from Paris to lauterbrunnen by train ? I think it's about 7hrs or so to get there that's the way I'm traveling to get there. I will enjoy the scenery since I will be leaving in morning or maybe early afternoon. Nothing I can do I guess.

The German site, bahn.de, is great for figuring out scheduling. Looking at Paris to Lauterbrunnen here are a few options:
- Leave 08:02, arrive 14:25 (6h23m travel time). 3 connections through Neuchatel, Bern and Interlaken.
- Leave 08:25, arrive 15:25 (7h travel time). 3 connections through Strausbourg, Basel and Interlaken.
- Leave 10:23, arrive 15:55 (5h32m travel time). 2 connections through Basel and Interlaken.
- Leave 12:22, arrive 17:55 (5h33m travel time). 2 connections through Basel and Interlaken.
(and some later ones but since you say you are planning on leaving in the morning I'll skip those).
I would probably choose the 10:23 or 12:22 ones since they are shorter travel time and less connections.

It is a shame you don't have an extra day or two to spend in Paris, it looks like only one full day, plus arrival day? Any chance you could add a couple days to your trip?
I'd probably take one night from Lauterbrunnen and put that in Paris. The Berner Oberland is about my favorite place on earth, and you want enough days to make sure you hit good weather ( it is very changeable ), but to me it looks out of balance for your Paris time. Just a thought....
