We're staying 5 nights in Switzerland at the end of a month long Europe trip and originally we were traveling from Salzburg to Lucerne and staying in Lucerne for 4 nights before flying out of Zurich. After learning of the train line construction bw Austria and Switzerland for the scenic route along with overall preferences we've changed our plans and will now be traveling from the Garmisch area to Grindelwald staying 4 nights and then staying in Lucerne for 2 nights. We need to stay near Zurich at the end bc we fly out the next day around lunch time. My main question is does that schedule make sense with the time we have (no we cannot add more days) and is it worth traveling so far into Switzerland our day getting there? If not we most likely will just have to stay in Lucerne and do a few day trips. We switched from only staying in Lucerne and also adding a day to Switzerland by taking away one from Salzburg based on the recommendations on this forum, but it definitely makes for a lengthy travel day. Is this too much or are the train rides enjoyable and scenic in Switzerland so it doesn't feel as cumbersome? Appreciate any advice.
