Swiss -Interlaken/Lucerne

Hi,
We are going to visit Switzerland and stay for 3 nights 4 days during our 2 weeks europe trip.

Since I don't want to switch too many hotels with kids and suitcases, I decided to stay at interlaken and drafted the below itinerary.

  1. Check in hotel at Interlaken, Roam around interlaken
  2. Visit Jungfrau
  3. What can we do on third day ? Lake Boat ride? I would like to experience the cable car ride? Can we go to mt titlis from interlaken? is it too much of time ?

Please suggest.

That's a bad plan - do not stay in Interlaken. Choose a hotel in Lauterbrunnen or Wengen. Those place are already closer to the Jungfrau. Spend your entire 4 days exploring Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Murren, Gimmelwald.

You do NOT need to roam around Interlaken. You came to this area to see the Swiss Alps and by staying in Lauterbrunnen you'll be right in the middle of them! Interlaken is not in the alps.

The cable car ride is easy. From Luaterbrunnen you go down the valley to Stechelberg and take the cable car up to the Schilthorn. It is a spectacular four-stage ride with stops in Murren and Gimmelwald. The boat ride around Lake Brienz is great. Also don't miss the Ballenberg open air museum.
