Please help to create 2 weeks itinerary regarding how many days stay where 🫶

Hey fellow travelers! I’m planning a 15-day trip to Switzerland and need help figuring out how many days to stay in each place. Is it too many days as well?

Here’s my planned points i want to stay overnight and visit:

Lugano (starting point)
Lucerne
Mürren
Zermatt
Wengen
St. Moritz
Zurich (just a half-day before departure)
I’m also taking these train rides:

Bernina Express
Glacier Express

Since these train journeys take time even uo to 8 hrs, I want to balance travel and exploration without making the trip too rushed. How many days would you recommend in each place? Any advice on adjustments?

Thank you in advance for your help!

You have a nice list of places, but what do you want to do in each location? I would figure that out next and that will determine how many nights you need in each location.

If you click on my name, you’ll see the links to my Switzerland trip reports. That might give you some ideas.

Hi, In June of ‘23, we spent two days and nights in Zermatt. We stayed at the Hotel Weisshorn, not fancy but reasonable. Our view was the mountain right out the back window! Several cool sights in this little town, we really liked the Museum, but the hours are random. We took the red cable car to Gornergrat, and planned to hike back down, but we were too early and the snow hadn’t melted yet! Good pizza at the outdoor restaurant on the right going up the hill. This was our first time traveling by train in Europe, and i would do it again. The Glacier Express was sold out, but we pieced it together on the same line, and saved a lot of money. Have a wonderful trip!
