I'm making sure buying the pass makes sense. We know that we may need to switch our plans based on visibility/weather. I assume our hotel's concierge has a way of knowing the best choice. Pilatus will be our backup. I wish we had one more day - poorly planned but international flights are locked in.
Day 1: Land in Basel after river cruise. 8 am ish. Explore Basel for an hour.
Train to Lucerne (I assume this is direct and we can buy the ticket when we arrive?) Explore Lucerne OR go to Stransehorn if concierge suggests the next days won't be as nice.
Day 2 Mt. Rigi
Day 3 Stranserhorn (or maybe we can add Pilatus but we really want a kick back day to see Lucerne and the younger generation is really interested in some chocolate tour if you can suggest one)
Day 4 The younger ones must get to Zurich for a noon flight. I read that a connection is needed due to construction. What time should they leave by? Our flight is until 4:45 pm so we can enjoy a leisurely lunch in Lucerne before heading in. We considered going early and seeing Zurich for a couple of hours - it will be Sunday and we're aware the shops will be closed, but that's not an issue. It just seems that may be a rush to tick a box. Thoughts on that?
Restaurant choices (happy to change) for dinner - we like nice food but not super pricey - with a view.
1. Ameron Lucherne Flora (our hotel)
2. Antons
3. Montana
