We are young and not afraid to do it all and have a lot of energy. Mostly interested in a nature/ hiking trip vs. cities (which is why basel, bern not on my planned itinerary). I am looking for feedback on any edits you would make as far of length of time in areas- is the hiking/ etc better in the grindewald area or Zermatt? Trying to decide if we should stay 2 nights in Montreaux (possibly want to visit gruyere as well??). also any suggested changes to order of cities you would make?
We will likely travel by train- but my boyfriend really wants to drive at some point too- so once we finalize the cities/nights we will determine what combo makes sense…
the other option we would have is staying an extra day in Montreaux and skipping the glacier express and doing the golden pass instead.. so Lucerne for 2 nights- to montreaux for 2 nights- to grindenwald for 2 nights to zermatt for 2 nights and back to zurich. would we be missing a lot by skipping glacier express if we did the golden pass? we wouldnt have much time to enjoy st moritz before heading to zurich. thanks in advance!
