We have 12-13 days on the ground in Switzerland. We like the trains, funiculars, good food and a bit of light hiking. I am in the planning stages right now. My thoughts were
Bern-3 nights (husband wants to visit Einstein museum and home)
Zermatt-3 nights
Murren-5 nights (as a base)
Zurich-1 night before flight home
Anything I am missing or should change?
what time is your flight home?
I would skip Zermatt , and spend that time in Luzern. The city and its environs should not be missed .
I haven’t booked flights yet
Terry,
I have to respectfully disagree with Swiss Sights. Stay in Mürren (or Wengen, or Lauterbrunnen) so you are in the mountains to enjoy lifts, trains, and hiking as easy or challenging as you like. Your plan looks solid to me. We go to Switzerland annually and spend a great deal of time in the Lauterbrunnen/Greater Jungfrau Region. You can hop into Interlaken on the train in 20 minutes from Lauterbrunnen.
I vote Murren or Wengen for your Berner Oberland stay. Wake up and sleep in the Alps, not just looking up at them!
Have a great trip!
