5 days in late April/early May 2018 itinerary help
-
Hello,
Working on itinerary after disembarking from River Cruise in Basel the end of April, 2018 into early May. Two couples wish to explore the Alps Region for 4 – 5 days, with one couple then heading back to Zurich to fly back to US, and other couple heading back to Basel to visit relative for a few days before flying home. Extremely expensive to book extension through River cruise, though the itinerary does look nice (2 nights Zermatt, 2 nights Geneva, Cogwheel train, Wine Tasting & Tour, Boot cruise, Glacier Express, Transfers, etc.) Thinking we could book similar ourselves…
Questions:
1. Thinking of Luzerne and Geneva (Lausanne?) as possible places to stay and do sightseeing from there. Feasible? Or should we look at Zermatt in order to fully experience the area?
2. Weather/time frame – in looking at hotels, sights, etc., it seems we may not be able to do some of the areas (Mt Pilatus etc?) Many hotels seem to be booked or unavailable at this time frame.
3. Travel from Basel to Luzerne/Geneva and back. Are there direct train options? Can we do all trains for transportation? I’ve looked but can’t see this option so may be looking in the wrong place.
This site is fantastic and I appreciate any input.
