5 days plan in Switzerland(1st trip)
-
Hi,
I am(a male) planning my 1st time visit flying into Geneva(arrive late) and leaving from Geneva on the 6th day(about 11 am flight) in the afternoon, so I actually have only 4 full days.
I have done alot of reading on Switzerland but beside deciding where to visit, my most difficult part is on deciding which rail pass. In fact, during my last Euroipe trip, I got so frustrated in the planning that I did not visit Switzerland eventually despite it’s my most-wanted-to-visit country in Europe. This time, I am afraid of missing it again; so I have committed in my air tickets to prevent a cancellation again.I hope someone can help to advise me on where to go and which pass to go for. This won’t be my last trip to Switzerland but not knowing when is my next trip, I hope to see more of it this first time. I am travelling alone, fast and budget is my priority, not much interest in the city area; and keen on scenery with some hiking. I can walk well.
After checking out, I hope I can do the followings:
1) Lauterbrunnen – Stechelberg – Schilthorn journey;2) Jungfragouch(Interlaken – Lauterbrunnen – Jungragouch – Grindelwald – Interlaken)
3)Meiringen – Grindelwald via Grosse Scheidegg(hike or train/bus to save time as long as I see the best part of the scenery)
4) Lucerne – Fluelen(boat) – train to Andermatt
5) Andermatt – Grindelwald(Golden Route Bus)
6) Glazier Express route(or the better part of it)
7) Lucerne – Fluelen(boat) – Andermatt(train)
8) Zermatt(for a short while or overnight
All the above are some of the best journeys I find from guidebooks. I am leaving out Mt Titlis & Pilatus to my next trip.
I will be very happy if I can do all or at least a majority of the above 8 in my list with at least a night stay at Grimmelwald and passing by Murren.I know it is too much to ask for but any suggestiion as to how I can do it or just any advice will be much appreciated.
As budget is my priority, I will make the best use of the pass to train or bus to more places if I go for a 4 days pass but if I go for just a transfer card or single tickets, I will probably do less places and go for more walks and hikes. I am quite flexible.Pardon for my poor English and thank you in advance.
