    Welcome to MySwissAlps, mg91!

    There are countless options. For example, you could take a train to Montreux and continue on the Golden Pass line to Interlaken, Lucerne, or one of the smaller towns in these areas. Then do day trips from there. Note that November is low season. Some hotels, restaurants and also cable cars could be closed. You can get started through the links I gave you, as well as our planning page.
