10 days net in switzerland - Proposed intineary

Hi!
I would skip the night in Zürich and head straight to Luzern. If you want to visit Zurich on arrival day, you can always store your luggage at the main station, have lunch, and walk around for 2-3 hours before resuming your journey to Luzern. It is all you need to get a good view of Zurich IMO

And unless your flight is early in the morning, I would consider staying 2 nights in Lausanne instead of 1 in Lausanne and 1 in Genève.

The rest seems OK to me.

Balso took the words right out of my fingers.

Agreed, you’re moving too much. Minimum 2 nights at each stop.
3 nights Luzern, 3 nights Interlaken, 2 nights Zermatt & 2 nights Montreux, Vevey or Lausanne
Or
3 nights Luzern, 4 nights Interlaken & 3 nights Montreux

Moving less allows you to do and see more.

Based on everyone suggestions, we are changing our plan and will fly-in-out of Zurich itself. So dropping Geneva now. We do wantt o spare a day to visit Zurich at the day of the trip. So here is the detailed Itinieary now. Still confusd if we have to do Zermet . Its going to be beginning of October. Not sure how will be the weather in Zermet to make the visit worth. We also liked the idea to skip

Hopefully the above Search will help you. Your question comes up here frequently. I also suggest you join Facebook groups for each area. There's a wealth of real- time info regarding conditions on the ground.

Enjoy this beautiful country. Safe travels!

Zermatt is always unpredictable. Yes, it will likely be cool, maybe cold, maybe not. I have been there in early October and had to buy long underwear to start the day but was in shirtsleeves by the end.

Based on your request for suggestions of routes and things to do, I highly recommend getting Rick Steves”’ guide book for Switzerland. Buy it, borrow it, get it from the library, but it has the answers you need and much info on logistics. Switzerland can be confusing. Rick demystifies it, especially for the first time visitor.
