Jul 28, 2012 03:53:40 AM gauri28080 Posts: 3	Need help ..I am travelling to switzerland for the first time. My stay is for 7 nights and 8 days. I want to cover places like geneva, zermatt, Gruyeres Cheese and chocolate tour, the jungfrau and lugano. I am planning to stay in lucern for 4 days from here travel to geneva, lugano and gruyeres/montreau and 3 days halt in interlaken/ grindelwald. I want to enjoy the lake and mountain view, with that prespective I am confused where should I stay ? Will grindelwald b better or Neidreid near lake Brienz ? I also want to make sure that travelling from these places is convinient Pls advice

As you want to cover some places in the south/southwestern part of Switzerland, I don't think Lucerne is the most obvious location for this. Please review the timetable to find out about traveling times. A town such as Lausanne or Montreux would make more sense for your visits to Geneva, Zermatt and Gruyères. The Jungfraujoch and viewing points as Schilthorn, Rigi and Pilatus can be well reached from Lucerne and/or a town in the Bernese Oberland. If you like the lakes, your best location would be Interlaken (right in between lake Thun and lake Brienz). Spiez along lake Thun would be a good option too as a base for trips to the southern part of the country, or Brienz along lake Brienz for trips to Lucerne and the north. You'll find hotels near the railway stations on the pages I linked to. By the way, because of your travel plans I'd look into the 8 day Swiss (Saver) Pass if I were you. Does that get you started? edited by modannika on Jul 30, 2012 -- Annika Moderator MySwissAlps.com We're on Facebook now! facebook.com/myswissalps

Jul 30, 2012 08:09:48 AM modannika Moderator Posts: 2117	Hello gauri280880, Train services to Lugano can be found through the timetable I linked to in my previous message. If you're traveling in high season (Dec - Feb, Jun - Aug), I would recommend to book hotels in advance. On the other hand, most hotels on the pages I provided allow free cancellation until the day of arrival, so you'll always be sure of a good room regardless of your travel season. Our page about Lugano is a good starting point. edited by modannika on Jul 30, 2012 -- Annika Moderator MySwissAlps.com We're on Facebook now! facebook.com/myswissalps
