Hello everyone!
My partner and I will be traveling to the Alps both Switzerland and Austria this summer. We have not booked our flights yet but made sure and made reservations in some places we know we want to stay, mostly Gimmelwald and Halstatt. We were considering flights in to Zurich and leaving from Vienna, but also noted that Geneva may work. Does anyone have any suggestions? We'll be there or some intermediate area (if suggested) between there and Gimmelwald for the first 2 nights, then moving on to Gimmelwald before heading to Austria for the remainder of the trip.
Also, as noted in the guidebook the high mountain lifts are fairly expensive, I'm wondering if we wouldn't be better off buying a rail pass or half fare card for this purpose plus the train to Interlaken from the earlier destination. We'll have 4 nights in Gimmelwald and would like to visit Schilthorn and Jungfrau. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Charlie
