I'm trying to get a head start on planning a family trip for June 2017 to Vienna and Switzerland. We have 9 nights total. There will be 6 of us. Husband and I are in our 60's. One son and wife are in mid-30's and other son and girlfriend are in mid-20's. We think we want to fly into Vienna, spend a couple of days there and then take train to Switzerland, perhaps to Bern. Spend one or two nights there and then go to Berner Oberland for two or three nights. My husband, I and our sons stayed in Murren about 10 years ago and loved it so we know we want to stay in that area again. Finally probably to Zurich to fly home.
Is this doable? I'm trying to plan a combination of city/mountain sights. We picked Vienna because most of us haven't been there. But if there is another city you'd recommend please do. It looks like travel time between Vienna and Bern via train is more than eight hours. I realize that's one full day on the train. We will be totally dependent on trains other than arriving and departing flights. Zurich doesn't hold enough appeal to go in and out of there so we want to either start or end somewhere else. Thanks for any suggestions.
