Hi,

I plan to come to Switzerland from Sweden on Friday morning (Geneva Airport) and go back to Sweden on Monday night (Zurich Airport) total of 4 Days. Can you please help me with the best possible ways to get the best of Swiss?

1) From my research so far the places that I think I should see are the town Lucerne, Golden Pass Scenic, Swiss Alps,Rhine falls, Mt Titlis and Mt Jungfrau. Please advise if I should remove or add a few places and if all these places can be covered in day trips from my base as Lucerne.

2) I thought of taking Swiss Travel Pass to start my travel from Geneva by train and end my travel in Zurich as my flight to Sweden is from Zurich.

What are the best possible options for me to cover all the places I listed above? Any idea on what should by base city be. Is Lucerne best placed? to plan day travel to all the above places?

Any help in an itinerary would be greatly appreciated.

Hello yogeshand Welcome to MySwissAlps,

Arrive Geneva, take the Golden Pass route (http://www.myswissalps.com/goldenpass) to Luzern and stay there until Monday.

Saturday dugout to Jungfraujoch, Sunday go to Titlis, Monday go to Rheinfalls (if you must; it won’t be at it’s best early April) and catch your plane.

I strongly recommend using the SBB Mobile app (bit.ly/2ICIUHi) for checking train, bus, boat and cable way timetables, finding fares* and buying tickets on-line if required. In the unlikely event you don’t have a device capable of running the app then you can use the timetable on the SBB website (bit.ly/2HH1U7B). If you are not familiar with using the SBB timetable it is worth first reading the instructions at http://www.myswissalps.com/timetable.

* The SBB website shows half-fare prices by default, the mobile app allows you to nominate whether to show full or half-fares (by editing the passenger details in settings) and is also smart enough to offer you the Saver Day Pass (http://www.myswissalps.com/saverdaypass) if that offers the best fare. The app can also display a platform map (at least at the larger stations) to help you make connections. You can also easily filter modes of transport (eg bus or ship).

A Swiss Travel Pass is a good idea.

Hi Yogeshpahilw,

I agree with Rockoyster, Lucerne is a good base for your itinerary. Here is a list of the recommended accommodations in Lucerne: http://www.myswissalps.com/lucerne/hotels and http://www.myswissalps.com/lucerne/rentals.

You can buy your Swiss Travel Pass at http://www.myswissalps.com/swisstravelpass/price.

For the Rhine Falls May/June is the best time, then is the most water in it: http://www.myswissalps.com/rhinefalls

If you are looking for other opportunities instead of the Rhine Falls near Lucerne, you can visit the Pilatus or Rigi: http://www.myswissalps.com/rigi/gettingthere and http://www.myswissalps.com/pilatus/gettingthere. See other activities in and around Lucerne at http://www.myswissalps.com/lakelucerne/activities.

Jungfrau is a great area with many things to see and do. Here you can learn more about it: http://www.myswissalps.com/jungfrauregion/activities.
