We are traveling to Switzerland after a cruise in May 2026. Late 50’s, fit and love to hike and e-bike. We spent time in Switzerland a few years ago and thrilled to be headed back.
However we are having trouble deciding our itinerary as the weather can be so tricky. Would love some advice.
Here is our plan so far:
1. Leave Salzburg on 5th to Chur to spend night and catch Glacier Express to Zermatt on 6th. I could skip this entirely but hubby really wants to do it so it’s staying on the plan.
2. Stay in Zermatt on 6th and if we have good weather see Matterhorn (we did Jungfraujoch last time).
***If bad weather we head to BO on 7th and find a hotel as we will spend next few nights here.
***now the big question….where to stay in BO? We stayed in a Mürren last time but it was late June. Loved it!!!! However, the weather could be dicey so we are wondering if we should stay lower in the valley to try and get some hiking in.
3. We will stay in BO nights of 8-9th (unless we add that xtra day) and head to Bern on 10th
4. Stay in Bern 10-11th and head to Zurich on 12th to fly out 13th.
*we visited Lucerne last time so that’s why we did not include it this time.
Any advice welcome. Thank you in advance.
