Need itinerary help Also: Train vs Auto
-
Heres our itinerary:
Flying into Frankfurt 6/16/11
Taking the train (to Baesl?) or driving to Heidelberg the 1st night
Traveling via train or car to Zermatt. Staying 5 nights
Traveling via train or car to Grindelwald. Staying 5 nights
Traveling to ??? via train or car for 3 nights.
Flying out of Frankfurt on 6/30/11. Must arrive in airport by 12 noon.We are a family of 3 (adults). We’re not sure of the cost/benefit comparison of train vs. car travel. We plan on mostly hiking and climbing, but would enjoy seeing some interesting architecture along the way, such as castles.
Please respond with any ideas for the 3 last nights.Train vs. car: Since we are flying into Frankfurt, should we rent a car to the border at Basel, then get a Swiss Pass? Should we buy the select Europass instead and take the train exclusively. If we buy the Eurail pass, do we enjoy the same discounts on mountain trains, gondolas, funiculars, etc.? Should we rent an auto and then buy the regional (Jungfrau and Zermatt) mountain passes?
Any ideas or help would be most appreciated!
