Hi everyone,
I am planning a trip to Switzerland and Italy next year. I have outlined a few ideas, but I’m trying to gather information so that I can use my time as efficiently as possible.
1 – I will be travelling with my wife and 2 sons (17 and 18yo).
2 – We are travelling the second half of May arriving in Zurich in the morning.
3 – We will decide whether to go directly to Lucerne upon arriving in the am, since we will travel overnight, or if we spend the day in Zurich (after storing our luggage).
4 – I have already made reservations for 5 nights in Lucerne and 4 nights in Grindelwald, then off to Lake Como.
5 – My initial plan is to visit: Interlaken (day trip), Lauterbrunen (day trip), Bern (day trip), Zurich (daytrip).
6 – I don’t know what are the best mountains to visit based on the places I will be staying at. I’ve read about Mt Pilates, taking the glacier express train, visiting the chocolate museum (Lindt), boat tours, cable cars, trams tours with panoramic views etc.
7 – Based on what’s described above, would you recommend getting the Swiss Travel Pass?
8 – Am I being too aggressive with my short stay? 9 days.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
