How to make the best out of one week Switzerland?
-
Hello all!
This site is absolutely fantastic & the forum discussions provide answers to most of the questions on our mind. Reading all the information given here we have charted a plan for our one week plan of Switzerland trip. We are a family of 3 & we will be reaching Basel by flight on 8th May 2018. Planning take Swiss pass for 6 days.
We will take train to Lucerne, spend half a day around Lake Lucerne. We are planning to book apartments through Airbnb at Lucerne for 3-4 days. I wanted to ask experts here if hiring apartments little away from the main town will be difficult to commute? Making Lucerne as the base we want to go Mt Titlis & Mt Pilatus for the next two days. Or Mt Rigi. could someone please suggest which two to choose among the three? one day we are planning spend in a city tour of Lucerne. Would it be feasible to do a day trip on Glacier express instead?
From Lucerne we are planning to go to Interlaken through the Golden express scenic route & thanks to the information provided in this website we could take any trains. After reaching we plan to go to lake Thun. Making Interlaken as the base we want to go Jungfrau the next day. (round trip) Next day back to Basel to catch our return flight which is on 15th. When I see booking options there are not many in Interlaken. As suggested in some forums if we book either in Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald instead of Interlaken wont it be difficult to connect? We also found some nice stay options near Thun. Can we stay there & make it a base instead of staying in Interlaken. We will have one more day left i.e 14th May. Not sure what to do on this day. Suggestions would be of great help. Or spending an extra day in Lucerne is a better idea? Since we have 4 & a half year old daughter we cannot have a very tight schedule. And cannot plan any hiking or trekking activities. This is our rough itinerary based on all the information I got in this wonderful website. Sorry for posting such a long query. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Shruti 🙂
