Dear Travellers
We're planning for a week long trip from Zurich to Milan in mid of May of 2025. Our initial plan is as follows:

  • Arriving in Zurich : 2 N in Zurich.
  • Zurich to St. Moritz via Chur : 1 N in St. Moritz.
  • St. Moritz to Varenna : 3 N in Varenna
  • Varenna to Milan. 2 N in Milan.
  • Milan to Nice. 3 N in Nice.

As this is our initial itinerary, we request you to help us with this plan, hotel recommendation and places to visit. We're flexible with our plan and places to travel as we can change the route of this itinerary. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thank you so much.

Do you like bigger cities? If it were me, I'd cut Zurich and go immediately to Luzern/Lucerne.

That is really a good advice. May be I can take 1N stopover at Zurich and go to Lucerne for 2 N. From there, to St. Moritz.
Thanks.

Luzern is so close to Zurich (about an hour), you could go immediately to Luzern. It's gorgeous, you won't regret it

Most people here recommend staying in the village of Pontresina instead of pricy and glitzy St Moritz. It is right on the Bernina Express line, so easy to do.
