We have a High Ortler hut to hut traverse scheduled for end of July into early August, with 7 days of hiking and a night at the beginning and end in Merano, Italy. From Merano we plan to take the train to Switzerland on Monday morning, which looks like it will take the better part of the day. We have two full days in Switzerland before flying back to California out of Zurich Thursday.
Where would you suggest we stay to make the best use of those two days? It's just my husband and me and we can be very flexible. We prefer to avoid crowded areas (we get enough of crowds in Los Angeles). Charming towns are preferred.
We will obviously have done plenty of hiking already. I would love to do a cheese tour.
Our flight departs at 11:15am from Zurich. Should we stay in Zurich the night before our flight?
This forum is so full of wonderful info - I really need to narrow down the choices.
