Hi ,
This is Manjistha from India.I will be travelling to Switzerland with my husband and 7 year old son by end of September. Reading thru Myswissalps forum gave me confidence to plan the trip by my own. Based on the various suggestions from the experts in different queries, I could come with this rough itinerary. Kindly review and leave your input.. Requesting you to suggest, if I can alter my itinerary to accommodate any other attractions.
Initial Draft
Sep 28- Strasbourg to Zurich HB (02hr 20 min- Reach by 11:26)
-Zurich HB to Wengen (02hr 50 min- Reach by 14:51)
Visit Wengen/Murran (Walking Tour). Stay @ Wengen.
Sep 29 (Day 01)-Early morning train to Jungfraujoch region. Return by Noon. Boat ride @ Lake Thun
30 Sep (Day 02) – Train to Schilthorn. Boat ride @ Brienze (or Grindelwald). . Back to Wengen.
Oct 1 (Day 03) – Early morning train to Zermatt. Check in. Visit Matterhorn. Return by Noon. Zermatt walking tour.
Oct 2 (Day 04) – Train to Montreux. Montreux to Lucerne (Golden Pass). Lucerne Chocolate factory visit.

I have the following initial queries:
1. Can I have Purchase the Swiss pass + family Pass online and just carry the printout or should I get the pass after reaching Zurich ?
2. Day 02 instead of Schilthorn can I go to Kandersteg? Which one is a must visit site?
3. Where can I take the best Toboggan ride? Is this ride safe for a 7 year old?
4. Day 04 Can you recommend things to do in Montreux? As I am visiting Chateau in Paris, can I skip Chillon or is there anything unique about this place?
5. Can we leave the luggage in Bern station, do they have a locker facility?
6. My return flight is by 9.45am so I need to be in the airport y 6.45 am, will I get a bus or train to reach to airport that early in the morning?
You guys are doing incredible work making travel easy in Switzerland. Thanks for all your advice and guidance.
