Switzerland Trip Plan Options - #2 (Pros/Cons)

Your first day, after flying into Paris (assuming from Houston), then taking the train to Lausanne and then touring the town sounds way too much for your first day. Unless, of course, you are able to get some sleep on the train. Personally, I wouldn't spend any time in Interlaken. It's very touristy. Unless you would like to go to one souvenir shop after another, I would head right up to Muerren. You can find several souvenir shops there also. Wish you could fly into/out of Geneva or Zurich. You're spending so much time on the train. Are you using miles? It's going to be a fast trip. The time change is what's going to slow you down, however, you'll be in the Berner Oberland most of the time which is a beautiful place to sit and relaxand take it all in.

Only take the Golden Pass and other scenic trains if they fit into your schedule. Don't YOUR schedule just to fit these specific trains into your trip. I'm sure you've read a dozen times by now "other regular trains travel on the same rails with the same views".

Thanks for the replies Will sleep from Houston to Paris and shower in Paris before heading out...
Thanks for the input...

Thanks for the opinions and suggestions... Only able to squeeze in a "one week" trip..
Trying to sift through all the things to do and see and looks like overbooked us... Is Lake Geneva area vs Luzern area best place to stay two nights ? Guess we could head straight to Murren for the entire trip but it seems like we are leaving lots undiscovered !!! Thought the train would be fun and allow us to view the countryside at the same time.. We could always fly back to Paris at the end if needed... was advised on an earlier post that train was preferred ??

Randy, it looks good to me. I agree with the others that you could skip Interlaken, and too bad you have to get yourself all the way back to Paris. Other than that I think you'll have a fantastic time!
