We are planning to spend a week in Mürren, and thought it would be nice to spend a couple of nights getting over jet lag before going to Mürren. We have already stayed in Lucerne and Engelberg, and wish to try a new city.
Originally (2020 cancelled trip) we’d planned to spend time in Vevey or Lausanne or Montreux before Mürren because we would be arriving from France. This time, we are thinking Switzerland will be first, and then we will head to France (Strasbourg and Colmar) before heading home. We don’t wish to get snarled in any post Olympics congestion, so we might not even fly home from Paris. Or, maybe that’s not a concern and it would be cool to be in Paris for a short time post Olympics?
So…seeking
*ideas for a couple nights in Switzerland before going to Mürren? (Geneva, Zurich, Montreux, Basel…?)
*ideas for stops along route from Mürren to Colmar
*ideas for airport to fly home, preferably direct to Detroit
We would like to fly open jaw, plan to use trains and boats, and are seeking suggestions from you expert travelers! :-)
Thank you!
