hi,
I have been dilemma to decide my itinerary in Switzerland. basically i prefer nature and to include beautiful lake visit in my itinerary. here goes mine:-
Day 1: arrive zurich immediately go to Bern. overnight here
Day 2-6: go to Lauterbrunnen, and stay here as a base. Visit Wengen, Gimmelwald, Interlaken, Murren.
Question: Is it possible to make a trip to Lucern and Oeschinensee Lake (and Summer Toboggan) from here?
Day 7: go to base city either Bern/Basel/Zurich.Which city is more convenience?
We need to make a train trip to Paris.
Other than this, is it skiing is possible in June. if yes where is the place?
i have seen someone post picture Swiss Village near narrow river (as attached), but could not manage to find the location. help me to identify this place, is it in Kandersterg?
Thank you so much 🙂

Hello bear2019, welcome to MySwissAlps! Let’s have a look at your itinerary:
- you plan to have an overnight stay in Bern, before moving to Lauterbrunnen. Do you want to visit Bern after arrival? If not, I’d just travel straight on to Lauterbrunnen if I were you. You can make a day trip to Bern fro Lauterbrunnen if you want;
- yes, you can visit Kandersteg/Lake Oeschinen and Lucerne as day trips from Lauterbrunnen. Please study the timetable to see how long such journeys take, and decide whether you’re comfortable with that: https://www.myswissalp s.com/timetable;
- tips for the Jungfrau region and the Bernese Oberland are listed at myswissalps.com/jungfr auregion/activities and myswissalps.com/bernes eoberland/activities;
- there are direct trains from Basel and Zurich to Paris, so assuming your trip to Paris follows day 7, I suggest you consider one of these two towns. Basel-Paris results in a shorter travel duration than Zurich-Paris. You can compare the cities and see what appeals to you through myswissalps.com/bern, myswissalps.com/basel and myswissalps.com/zurich.
As for train traveling: information about your journey to Paris and the according train tickets is listed at myswissalps.com/traint ickets/france. You’ll probably want to use a rail pass for your days in Switzerland. An 8 day Swiss Travel Pass (myswissalps.com/swisst ravelpass) would be the most convenient option, but whether it’s an economical choice for you should be calculated as explained at myswissalps.com/train/ ticketspasses/practica l/chooserailpass.
I can’t find any attachment, so I don’t know which Swiss village you’re referring to. Can you try again?
Thank you so much for great advice! i re-attached again the swiss village.

Hi Bear2019,
It is for sure in the Bernese Oberland, and could very well be Kandersteg considering the railway yard in the background.
Thank you Arno! Will definitely include Kandersterg in our trip. Now planning on the travel pass and timetable. Really great forum!
this train ticket are not easy to decide. shoud i take 4 days travel swiss pass, and on day 1, 6 and 7 i just take normal individual ticket?
day 1 : coming from zurich airpot to lauturbrunen
day 2- 5 : 4 days travel swiss pass
day 6 : spend time in lauturbrunen only
day 7 : going to bern, and take train from bern to paris
please advice
Have you considered a 6-day Regional Pass Bernese Oberland with a Saver Day Pass for day 1? Not saying it’s the best option but worth a look.
hi @rockoyster, sure i will have a look on this. Thanks!
i read forum, and found out early June that it is still snow and probably not possible to hike. i plan to do simple hiking Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg. Will be there from 2nd june to 6th june. is it possible? really hope for good weather when we visit later.
Hi Bear2019,
You’ll have a good chance in early June, but no guarantee. It depends on the weather the coming weeks. Hope for the best but do plan for alternatives too 🙂
i don’t have any alternatives plan yet, have to do one now 🙁 Thanks for the advice.
For weather forecast, will this site (http://www.srf.ch/meteo/) is the accurate one?
Thanks again .
For the Jungfrau region this one is pretty handy – bit.ly/2GmILXS.
hi expert, should i consider the following activities.
I have difficult time to decide place to go and taking weather as consideration. as per previous comment we will base in Lauterbrunnen-
1. Kandersterg over Luzern? should i skip Luzern
2. mountain trip, is this sufficient?
Schynige Platte, Männlichen to KS, Schilthorn, Murren and Grinderwald to First
3. Gelmerbahn up to Gelmersee. The steepest train, is it worth effort to go here since it is far?
4. Boat trip in Lake brienz and aare gorge, and trip around Interlaken.
5. The Planetenweg trail. Is it possible in first week of June?
6. All of above, is it too pack or i can include more activities. will be in Lauturbrunnen for 6 days, then will go to Basel.
7. should i bring rain jacket? i cannot imagine how rain season looks like in Switzerland. Im from tropical country, if raining season it is raining cats and dogs.
For travel pass, i have bought 8 days Swiss Travel Pass and i have calculated this is the best for us.
Thank you once again.
Hi Bear2019,
Some answers to your questions:
1. If you prefer nature, Kandersteg is the way to go. However Lucerne is the picture perfect town in Switzerland so worth spending a couple of hours there for some photos 🙂 http://www.myswissalps.com/lu cerne
2. You will see plenty of mountains where you are going. There are a lot of mountains in Switzerland so you would need many trips to see them!
3. I have not done the journey so cannot advise.
4. A link to more information http://www.myswissalps.com/bo atlakebrienz
5. cannot advise.
6. You would really need to work out your itinerary using the timetable http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable to know whether you are comfortable with the travelling times or not 🙂
7. You should bring waterproof gear if you are hiking in June. Here is a link on how to prepare: http://www.myswissalps.com/hi king/preparation
Good choice on the Swiss Travel Pass! http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass
Wishing you a wonderful trip!
Maria.
THanks Maria.
I wish i read earlier this forum before book the flight ticket, and it seems late June much better time to visit. I also found out Gelmerbahn timetable will only be open on 8th June 2019. what a luck 🙁
