6 days in Switzerland in June, 2 itineraries

Short summary – read this first

John Ung is planning a 6-day trip to Switzerland in June, after spending a few days in Milan. He wants advice on whether to choose Option A, which includes St. Moritz and Zermatt, or Option B, which has Chur and Interlaken, while focusing on possible adjustments to his itinerary.

Key takeaways:

Consider spending less time in St. Moritz, as the travel times to and from there are shorter than expected.
For Option A, avoid a day trip from Zurich to Zermatt, as it's too far for a single day.
In Option B, the Glacier Express from Chur to Zermatt is not feasible as a day trip due to distance and slow travel time.
If it's your third trip, explore the Ticino region, which is often overlooked and offers unique experiences.

There are problem elements to both options

Option A

Day 1 – 3 : might be overload on St Moritz, bear in mind both Tirano St Moritz and St Moritz – Zurich journeys only take half a day each

Day 4 Zurich to Zermatt is too far for a ‘there and back’ day trip

Option B

Day 1 Tirano ->Chur: is fine but note it is Bernina Express (not Bernia)

Day 2 Chur – Zermatt : does not work as a day trip via the Glacier Express route – it is too far (too slow a journey)

As it is your 3rd trip to Switzerland I’d go to Ticino and spend a few days there (grossly overlooked) and then Bernina Express to Chur and then explore the St. Gallen area before Zurich.
