Hello my fellow travelers. We purchased our airline tickets and the planning as begun. We will be in Switzerland 9/10 - 9/27 and we couldn't be more excited. Except for the "figuring out the itinerary". That's where you come in! So thanks in advance.
Tentative itinerary with a couple of dates and places we have to be, everything else is pretty flexible.
Arrive Zurich - train to St. Gallen (2 nights)
Train to Lugano (via the Voralpen Express out of Lucerne) (3 nights Lugano)
Train to Zermatt (regular train) we have to be in Zermatt on Saturday the 17th for a paid for excursion. (4 nights Zermatt)
Train to Thun (though we are considering stopping in Interlaken to bike to Thun, via e-bikes, who knew this was a thing? :) We have to be in Thun for an event on Monday night) (1 night in Thun)
Boat/Train to Grindelwald (4 nights Grindelwald)
Train to Lucerne (via Interlaken for a days adventures) (3 nights Lucerne)
Train to Zurich and flight home.
What should we reconsider? Is 4 nights too long in Zermatt? Should we go straight to Grindelwald and do the trip to Thun from there? Staying in Thun overnight isn't a must do, since it's an early event event we will be attending. Thanks for all the help and advice. This is our second time to Switzerland. St. Gallen, Lugano, Zermatt & Thun will be first time experiences for us.
