Hi
I’m going on this trip very soon. I’m arriving at the Zurich airport and leaving there too. The places I want to visit are: Zurich, Lucerne, Bern, Zermatt, Geneva, Montreux, Interlaken, Grindelwalk, and Lugano. Now that I look at the distance between all of these places and the travel times I’m thinking I might need to cut some out. I’m not sure which to get rid of though. Which places should I visit? Any itinerary ideas?
Thanks in Advance!!!!

Hi,
How many nights do you have on the ground in Switzerland? I'll assume 7.
You do have to cut lost of them places on your list, I'm afraid... With 7 nights, I would say:
- 3 nights in Luzern including day trip to Bern
- 3 nights in Grindelwald or, better in my opinion, Wengen or Mürren (look them up, they are in the mountains above Grindelwald)
- 1 night in Zürich at the end before your flight.
Interlaken is more a tourist hub than a place to visit.
Zermatt, Geneva and Lugano are too far from Zürich in your timeframe.
Montreux could fit at a stretch, but it increases travel time, not sure it is woth it.

I agree with balso although I'd give the Berner Oberland an extra night taken from Luzern in case of weather issues in the mountains.
