Hi All
I will be taking the 2:23 train from Gare Lyon arriving in Basel 5:26 pm September 6th. Then taking the next available train to Lucerne probably not arriving at the Tourist Hotel until 8 something.
I would like help with my itinerary as it stands so far:
Sunday 9/7: Take the Classic Rigi Round Trip, boat Lucerne to Vitznau, spend the day on Mount Rigi hiking, then cable car to Weggis and boat back to Lucerne.
Monday 9/8: Explore Lucerne (the bridges, Lion Monument, Jesuit Church, Old Town and city walls).
Tuesday 9/9: Take the 7:05 am train from Lucerne via Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen arriving 9:25 am. Hook up with Airtime Paragliding for a flight through the Alps then maybe a little time there before train back to Lucerne.
Wednesday 9/10: Relax in Lucerne do some shopping and hang out by the lake. Maybe rent bikes and pedal around.
Thursday 9/11: Train back to Paris (haven't booked those tickets yet but probably early to mid morning as our different flights leave Friday 9/12 around 1 pm.
I know the mountains are weather dependent so that may need to be adjusted once there. Hopefully early September will not pose a problem to our plans.
I welcome all advice and suggestions. Anyone know of renting and biking around the lake if possible. This forum is a goldmine for great advice.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!

Actually, nobody responded because it looks like you have everything covered. OK, maybe contact the paragliding outfit to call you if they are good to go on Monday and go then if it is all clear. You never know what the weather will be the next 3 days.

Steve, you've identified all the highlights of Lucerne. The only advice is to be flexible. Things will look different once you hit the ground. Your hotel might have bike rental info.
