    Hi,

    I need to ask few tips for Interlaken & Lucerne area.

    I am coming from Basel to Interlaken and noticed train stopped at Thun railway station.And boat jetty is next to railway station.

    Want to ask can we take a boat trip with hand carry luggage & light weight child stroller?

    Also, while traveling to Lucerne train stop at Alpnachstad Station, so going to MT Pilatus can we take the same hand carry luggage and stroller?

    Last question I found this timetable for Lake Thun Boat trip: http://www.bls.ch/-/media/bls/pdf/fahrpla ene/schiff/fahrplan-2017.pdf

    on page 9 its say boat 15:40 departure from THUN, is this correct time for the month of July?

    Regards,

    Syed

    >> I am coming from Basel to Interlaken and noticed train stopped at Thun railway station.And boat jetty is next to railway station. Want to ask can we take a boat trip with hand carry luggage & light weight child stroller?

    Yes, that will be fine.

    >> Also, while traveling to Lucerne train stop at Alpnachstad Station, so going to MT Pilatus can we take the same hand carry luggage and stroller?

    Yes, hand luggage will be OK, and the stroller will be OK if it folds up.

    Yes, it is.

    That should be a very nice trip!

    That’s right.

    And the 18:40 only runs Tuesday to Saturday between 13 May and 23 Sep (but not on 1 August). That’s what the red squiggly line and the letter “F” means.
