So, this is a continuation of my previous post, only we're moving on to the Visp/Brig area (we're still deciding between the two).
As before, I've planned and researched for more options than we have days. This time it is six days/nights and ten options. Obviously since weather is an issue, I'm keeping everything in the back pocket. BUT, if you truly had to pick only a few from the list, what would they be? Or are there options that I've completely overlooked? FYI, this will be mid-April, two fit (-ish) adults in our 60s, and we will have Swiss Travel Passes. Also, we are repeat travelers to Switzerland who have visited a lot of the major sites like Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen already, so the below intentionally mixes in some ideas that might be more off-the-beaten-path (not counting Zermatt!).
- Zermatt and the Gornergrat scenic cogwheel train for (hopefully) views of the Matterhorn. (I know this is a longshot in April)
- Martigny, primarily for the Fondation Pierre Gianadda museum and the VerticAlp funicular
- Also from Martigny, but it might be a choice between this and the above (??) -- taking The Mont Blanc Express between Martigny and Chamonix, and back
- Aigle Castle, now a wine museum
- Sion
- The Glacier Express route to Disentis/Mustér and back
- Glacier viewing from Bettmeralp or Eggishorn
- Saas (not to ski, but just to soak up the atmosphere. It may be a moot point if everything has shut down for the season...)
- Thun and Lake Thun ferries
- Kandersteg and Oeschinensee (if the cable car to Oeschinensee is running)
