Hello All,
Semi-seasoned traveler here, but having a difficult time processing the logistics here.
We'll be arriving in Lucerne with a car, and then we're headed to Murren for a few nights before flying out of Zurich (to CDG).
Do we drop the car off in Lucerne and then train to Murren? Makes the most sense, but what I'm more concerned about is getting to Zurich (from Murren) for our 12:40 PM flight. Trains look to take 4-5 hours?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Eric
You might want to leave in the afternoon your last day in Murren and stay near train station in Zurich old town the night before your flight or even Lucerne.
Train from Mürren to Zurich airport takes 3h21min. Not "4-5 hours". Train times are exact, not approximate in Switzerland, and you can find that out on www.sbb.ch. You can rely on those times.
Note however that Mürren to Paris takes 6h40 by train. Travelling to Zurich and flying to Paris is actually a costly and time consuming detour.
where is the car coming from?
as for Mürren to central Paris, I can feel a challenge building, and I wouldn't bet money on the plane winning.
Any way you can do Mürren first, then Luzern? Yes, I know the car is the issue.
Everybody travels differently. For us, we like the low stress approach. We go to zurich the night before and spend the night there and explore zurich a little. I think it's different if you already live there and have a place to stay versus if you're paying for a hotel room. But again, everyone travels differently.That's just how we like to do it , others would get up at the crack of dawn and go in the morning. I will just add a caution, on our trips it has taken us a long time to get through security and to the gate at ZRH.. well over an hour. That is when we are flying back to the US. Don't know if it would be faster if you're traveling somewhere within EU.
will the car be rented in Switzerland or would you benefit from returning it to the country you rented from?
