Hi all,
I am traveling to Switzerland from March 9th-17th in and out of Zurich. I wanted to share a potential itinerary and I have a few questions as well-
March 9th (Saturday)- Fly into ZRH at 11:25 am, take a train to Liechtenstein, eat lunch, explore Vaduz. Take the train to St. Moritz/Pontresina and spend the night at either place.
March 10th (Sunday)- Bobsled in St. Moritz (8:30)?, watch the Engadin cross country ski race go thru St. Moritz, Piz Nair?, walk around the town, overnight in same place as night before
March 11th (Monday)- Take Glacier Express to Andermatt, explore town, overnight in Andermatt
March 12th (Tuesday)- Ski Andermatt, late train to Zermatt, overnight in Zermatt
March 13th (Wednesday)- Ski Zermatt, overnight in Zermatt
March 14th (Thursday)- Matterhorn Glacier Gondola over to Italy for lunch and back, good meal in Zermatt, overnight in Zermatt
March 15th (Friday)- Train to Interlaken, take a boat ride, overnight somewhere in BO
March 16th (Saturday)- Either Schiltorn or Jungfruhjoch or something “daring”, overnight in BO
March 17th (Sunday)- Train to ZRH
My few questions are
1-Which is better for skiing, Andermatt or Zermatt?
2-Does this itinerary seem like too much? Anything I should cut?
3-Which scenic gondolas or trains should I skip out on in this itinerary? Is the Gongerbat Train better then the gondola in Zermatt?
4-Any potential hikes I could do in these places in March? I really wanted to do the 5 lakes hike in Zermatt but seems like it is a no go in the winter.
5-Is it worth spending time in BO/Interlaken area in March?
This is my first trip to Switzerland and my first time using this forum, sorry if this seems like a lot of info, thanks so much for reading!
