Itinerary review please!

Thanks to this site for lots of great content. Would appreciate your expert views of this plan for September 2019 (we'll be coming from 9 days in Iceland). After all kinds of calculations it appears the half fare pass is best for us as our Wengen hotel will provide a Jung pass. This surprised me. Hope I did my math correctly.

8/31: Iceland to Milan, 2 nights

9/2: Train to Varenna, 2 nights (will ferry to Bellagio and Como)

9/4: Train to Tirano; pick up Bernina express from Tirano to St. Moritz (sit on left), one night (QUESTION: will the regional train be the same/cheaper??)

9/5-9/8: Glacier Express St. Moritz to Zermatt (sit on right). Four nights in Zermatt

Top priorities in Zermatt:

  1. Train to Gornergrat for best Matterhorn views

  2. Climbing Breithorn

  3. Walking pedestrian bridge near Randa

(How to choose among other priorities please? Lake Riffelsee views; Kleine Matterhorn to Matterhorn Glacier Ride; cablecar to Unterrothhorn)

9/9-9/11: Train to Chamonix Mt Blanc, 3 nights

Top priorities: Aiguille du Midi; Mer de Glace

9/12-9/16: Shuttle to Geneva airport; train to Wengen via Montreau for Golden Express views (sit left), 5 nights Wengen

Top priorities:

  1. Jungfraujoch

  2. Schilthorn and thrill walk

  3. Grindelwald-First; cliff walk; Bachalpsee

  4. Great hikes: Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg; North Face Trail by Murren;

(Low priorities: Brienz to Brienze Rothorn because it will take time logistically; Wilderswil to Schynige Platte)

9/17-9/18: Train to Luzerne, 2 nights

Top priority: Mt Titlis for suspension bridge walk

9/19-9/23: Train to Geneva last nights (Planning to catch Laver cup tennis tourney!)

Thanks in advance for your review and comments, especially related to priorities and transportation plans (assuming weather holds). ​
