We will have a 2 week Europe anniversary trip this September and will have 7 days in Switzerland. Hoping for a semi-relaxed, romantic trip with some great scenery, light to moderate hiking. I love the idea of panoramic ridge hikes being above everything. We've also never been to Switzerland.
Planning on 5 nights in Wengen and 2 in Lucerne and then heading to lake Como.
- Day 1, arrive in Zurich airport around 8am, train into Wengen, have a half day to explore, maybe a light hike somewhere in the area.
- Day 2, Manlichen panoramic hike and/or bachalpsee or hike near murren (north face trail etc)
- Day 3, day trip to Kandersteg, Lake Oeschinensee, Blausee lake, maybe Spiez between trains
- Day 4, trip to view Jungfraujoch vs Schilthorn (piz gloria etc)
- Day 5, flex day, Schynige Platte Panorama Trail
- Day 6, AM train to Lucerne (or maybe train in the evening before?) - half day maybe Rigi hike or hang around lake
- Day 7, Stoos ridge hike vs Rigi if not already done. Explore town.
- Train out to Italy
Any thoughts? Should we try to train into lucerne the evening of day 5 since we probably won't be doing much that time anyway? Should we consider staying in Murren? We love the idea of good balcony views from our hotel. We slightly prefer the updated hotels we can currently see in Wengen and the variety of restaurants there and being close to the train station but are open to that. Worth including breakfast for about $30 per person at hotels? or going out somewhere?
Thank you!
