Gday
Thanks for all the insights and adventures shared it’s a great read however I do have a request as I’m still puzzled on our Swiss side trip with my mum 3 full days from Zurich or Geneva however flying out of Zurich .
. To provide some context we have done London ( Chelsea flower show , David Austin roses , Ritz high tea ) Paris French open to a road trip south west France checking out gardens and castles and eating ! . mum is 76 who loves gardens , mountains , small antique gift shops type places , eating out ,coffee cake and a wants everything done for her haha does not like exercise however does reluctantly walk 2km each morning on a flat surface doesn’t like hills will look for the lift or elevator . Oh and lovesto train everywhere !
. Me a young 48 runner hiker food wine lover never usually in same spot more than a day and usually out at 5am exploring before the tourists awake , love a village like atmosphere with a market , I love foodmarkets. It’s the first place I go on trips or a hike . dislikes queues and crowd masses , I know this may be difficult this trip . Last trip to Switzerland I was in Zurich to Val’s (7132 ) my secret hidey spot where is was so peaceful and no tourists . I understand this trip is about mum not me however mum is very impatient at times . Mum wants to be always surrounded by snow capped mountains green landscapes or village type atmosphere easy access to everything like coffee shops
So …
I do like Steve’s 3 days suggestion re lauterbrunnen valley OB however I do get fomo but I know it’s not about me .
Zurich - lucerne - lauterbrunnen ? OB
Zurich - to glacier express Zermatt
Geneva - golden pass possibly the belle Epoq- Zermatt
Interlaken - lauterbrunnen ?
Jungfrau?
Bern ?
3 full day as I factored in the two nights stay in when we fly in and out from most likely in Zurich out Zurich or in Geneva out Zurich I can push it out to 4 days
Grateful for any tips or must dos or donts , thanks
Happy travels
Thanks
