9 Days itinerary suggestions for kids and seniors
-
we would be travelling with 6 Adults (2 seniors in that ) + 4 kids aged 6-12 years in July for 9 days . I would ask the opinion of the fantastic members here as what they would suggest considering the time and the age of the kids / Seniors.
3 Nights in Lucerne.
Day 1 Sat, Reach 7.30 AM, at Zurich and and go directly to Lucerne .
Day2 Sun,
Day 3 Mon .
Mt Tiltis -The cable car to the Titlis departs from the town of Engelberg, about 45 minutes from Lucerne.
Mt Pilatus – ‘
Take the boat from Lucerne to Alpnachstad. Change to the cogwheel train to the Pilatus. Then take the cable car down to Fräkmüntegg and change to the gondola to Kriens. It’s a 10 minute walk to the bus stop called ‘Kriens, Zentrum Pilatus’. There, you can take bus line 1 to the Lucerne rail station (15 minutes).
Day 4 Tues Go to Lauterbrunnen, 5 Nights in Lauterbrunnen.
From Lucerne to Lauterbrunnen take the train via Bruenig pass and Meiringen and from Bern to Montreux ride the train via Zweisimmen and Gstaad. Both form the Golden Pass Panoramic train route. Which one is more easy with the kids ?
Day 5 Wed
Day 6 Thur
Day 7 Fri
Day 8 Sat
from the base in Lauterbrunne you can make the following day trips:
*Stechelberg – Gimelwald – Muerren – Schilthorn (Piz Gloria in a James Bond movie) – Muerren – Winteregg
*Grindelwald – Kleine Scheidegg – Wengen
*Interlaken – Spiez – Kandersteg – Brig – Visp – Zermatt (scenic route) and back in a direct train from Visp to Spiez via Loetschberg Base Tunnel. In Zermatt we can go to Gornergrat by cogwheel train or Klein Matterhorn by cable car
If these can be covered in a day, we will have 2 days extra which we kept as buffer for weather. Will this be too hectic for the kids and what can be suggested for the time that we have or any other opinion.
Since the day 4 ( first day in Lauternbrunnen will be short after we reach there about 12. which of these 3 trips needs shortest time
Day 9 Sun Late check out and in the afternoon take the train back to Zurich to take back the flight home @ 22.00
Thanks a lot
