7-day itinerary for Switzerland in September
-
Hello,
My wife and I will be visiting Switzerland in the second half of September. We have planned the following itinerary for our visit. Request you to please review and help us answer some questions regarding the same
Day 1 Arrive in Zurich in the morning. Freshen up at day hotel and visit city during the afternoon. In the evening take train for Zermatt. Check in and relax
Day 2 Visit Matterhorn
Day 3 Take Glacier Express in the morning from Zermatt to Chur. Want to do Glacier Express and I understand that it is the best part of the line. Go to Lucerne from Chur via Zurich. Check-in at Lucerne and relax in the evening.
Day 4 Mt Pilatus or Mt Rigi. Spend time in Lucerne in the evening
Day 5 Go to Interlaken or Lauterbrunnen in the morning. Visit Jungfrau or Schilthorn
Day 6 Visit Bern during the day and come back to Interlaken in the evening (late)
Day 7 Interlaken to Geneva
Day 8 Geneva-Paris early morning
Requesting your help for the following:
- Is the itinerary too tightly packed? Will it be difficult to manage?
- Is Matterhorn worth visiting in September? If it’s too clouded to visit Matterhorn, what alternate activities can be done/places can be visited?
- Between Mt Rigi and Mt Pilatus, which one is better place to visit? Also, if the weather is not suitable, what alternate activities/places can be tried? Will we get time in the evening for Lucerne?
- Which is better Jungfrau or Schilthorn? Should we do both and drop Bern the next day? What kind of weather can be expected considering that it’s second half of September? Which is better base – Interlaken or Lauterbrunnen?
- If there is anything which is great and we have missed but falls in the same regions which we are planning to visit, please tell us.
- Which pass should we take? 8 days Swiss travel pass or half rate card?
Awaiting responses.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Ankit
