After a 1-week Christmas River Cruise I decided on a 1 week extension trip to Switzerland. Trip planning is very last minute -- so reservations on the Bernina Express and Glacier Express were a bit challenging. I am wondering if this is too much train travel -- and if I should skip Zermatt or maybe the Glacier Express. Also on the last day I leave Basel on a 7:07am train - arriving Zurich at - 9:04am. My flight home to IAD is at 1pm -- do you think arriving in Zurich at 9:04 is enough time? Would love to hear some feedback.
