5 Days Zermatt, Montreux, Grindelwald, Lucerne
-
Hello,
My husband and I are traveling to Switzerland for the first time from June 12th-16 and are very excited, and also overwhelmed with all the amazing places to see. We have our itinerary set and I am looking for some guidance as to whether or not this is doable and possible other recommendations
Day1: Travel from Stresa to Zermatt. Our train arrives in Zermatt just before noon. I wanted to go up to Gornergat but didn’t know if there was also time to visit Klein Matterhorn Glacier Paradise. The Glacier palace ice grotto and walking to Gondegg sounded like fun. We have the Swiss travel pass and understand that either would be 50% off.
Day 2: Travel from Zermatt to Montreux and arrive just before noon. We want to Rochers de Naye and possibly a short hike at the top. We wanted to know if it is possible to have time to see Chillon Castle or take a boat trip on Lake Geneva.
Day 3 and 4: Travel from Montreux to Grindelwald (partway on the Golden Pass) and arrive around 13:30. We are hoping to do a longer hike the first day saw First to Schynige Platt, and maybe see Trummelbach Falls. We found one of your links for Jungfrau in one day and wanted to do that on Day 4 as it looks like an amazing time! My main question is regarding going up to the top of the mountains on day 4 and whether we need to make sure it is done earlier in the day to get a better view, or if anytime is good on a nice day. If it is bad weather, would going on a boat ride be worth it?
Day 5: Grindelwald to Lucerne. We arrive just before noon and wanted to do Mt. Pilatus (the Golden Round Trip). We also wanted to walk to see the Chapel Bridge and we didn’t know if it made sense to take a boat ride to another town on the lake and if so, where is recommended? Any other recommendations in this area as we know we cannot do Pilatus and Rigi in the same day.
Day 6: Lucerne to Bellagio……
Kind regards,
Michelle
