We (hopefully, Delta virus EU restrictions may cancel this trip) will be entering Switzerland on September 11. We plan to spend 7 days there before boarding our river cruise in Basel. It has been 51 years since we toured Switzerland on our honeymoon. We plan on flying into Geneva and taking the train to Lausanne. The next two overnight stops will be Lauterbrunnen and Luzon. We would like to find accommodations with a private bath within a short walk of the train station. Has anyone stayed in these spots recently?

Hi,
Sorry, I'm a little bit confused: close to the train station in which place? Lauterbrunnen is a small village and the train station is very central. The station is also very central in Luzern, most hotels are quite close to it (15 minute walk at most). Lausanne is more difficult (it's built on a huge slope) and I question why you would stay there rather than in Vevey or Montreux, unless you have some specific interest in Lausanne museums.
