Hey folks!
we have a Swiss trip coming up in about a month. A few of us are doing 1 night in Luzern, 4 nights in Zermatt and 4 nights in Wengen. I would love to hear your thoughts on our basic plans, maybe even favorite hike in those areas that are approx 5-6 miles? What are some cant miss spots in those areas? Any advice or feedback would be really appreciated l.
We’ve visited Zermatt and Grindelwald a few years ago so I have a general idea of how to get around. We plan to get the half fare card, and possibly the regional passes for Berner Oberland and Zermatt.
We’ve are flying to Zurich, landing at 8:15 am on Friday and spending the first night in Luzern. I am not sure what we will do that day other than roam the city.
The next day we take the train to Zermatt for 4 nights, and leave Wednesday. We have a reservation for Chez Vrony on Sunday and will take the cable car up and walk down for our lunch reservation, maybe do the 5 lakes hike.
One day we want to take the train up to the Gornergrat and then hike between the other train stops. We did the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise last time, but this time i want to find a nice hike from one of the cable car stops back to town.
We are then spending the next four nights in Wengen, and flying out if Zurich on Sunday.
In Wengen, I want to take the cable car to Mannlichen and then hike around there to Kleine Scheidegg. One day I also want to do a hike around Grindelwald First, maybe to Bachalpsee. I also want to do a hike around Murren/Gimmelwald, Schilthorn and Lauterbrunnen.
Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
