Can you review plans and provide guidance, recommendations etcScope - Two children 9/13 - two adults. Love swimming/cable cars/ 2 hour walks/ Large ball marble runs/Marmots/ quick sightseeing 2 hours max* Flying to Milan on 12/08. - Staying over two nights in Lugano - Lido/Monte Bre/Ferry* Then planning on staying in Valle verzasca for 2 nights. - swimming in river/marble runs/walks???*Moving onto zermat region (tasch?? ) for three nights - Matterhorn/ zermatt area ???* Flying back to MilanI think all can be covered by rail under a rail pass scheme. For the matterhorn is the PeaktoPeak pass the best option. Any recommendations and changes to route/plan are gratefully received.

Depending on your rail pass, the children could travel for free under the Swiss Family Card: https://www.myswissalps.com/swissfamilycard

Yes, the ‘Peak2Peak’ ticket is great for a combined ride to Klein Matterhorn and Gornergrat within 1 day. More information here:

Your plans sound good, it’s nice to base yourselves a few nights here and there so you can explore at a steady pace.

I hope the above helps get you started.
