Best route to Gruyeres by train for a family
-
Hello, we are planning a 3 day trip in Switzerland with the following stops:
Day 1: Basel to Broc-Fabrique, staying in Gruyeres
Day 2: Gruyeres to Stechelberg (Schilthorn if weather is good, otherwise Murren, hike etc.)
Day 3: Schilthorn/Murren depending on weather, boat to Thun, Basel and back to our homebase in Germany
It will be busy I know, but my question is about our route to Gruyere…it adds extra time to go through Montreux but we would take that route if someone can confirm that the train ride from Montreux (“the chocolate train route”) is worth it, keeping in mind we are travelling with 3 children aged 14,11 and 9. We will not have any time to stick around Montreux, but perhaps just a café on the waterfront, so I’m sure we will feel like we have to leave before we got started…Are the breathtaking sights around Interlaken alone enough to dazzle us, or should we plan to do the chocolate train route (not the panoramic train due to the cost for a family of 5, but the similar route on regular trains). We will be using a Swiss Travel Pass for the 3 days. Thanks for you input!!
