Hello all,

Thank you for all the answers and suggestions so far. This group has been my lifesaver in this Swiss travel preparation. I am here for some last minute confusion. I am reaching Swiss tomorrow. I have planned to visit Mount Titlis either on Tuesday/Wednesday and Jungraujoch on Thursday/Friday.

I am looking at the webcams at both the sites and until yesterday, the weather is very bad in the alps. It’s almost covered in mist and clouds and the visibility is very poor. I am really confused if I can make it to both the alps next week. I have 2 doubts please:

1. I am really confused how should I predict whether I can go/not go to Titlis and Jungraujoch seeing the weather forecasts. Even though the activities/cable cars are open, I feel it will be bad to go there only to see clouds and mist and not enjoying it. Should I see the temperature in the forecast? Or the wind gusts? Or the previous day web cam footage? What parameter should be seen to decide if it is worth to going to the top? (if it helps, I will go with 5 year old kid)
2. If it happens that I cannot visit both these places, then can someone suggest alternate day itinerary for these days. Is there any other alp that I can cover instead of these 2 but I wonder if all alps in the region will have same weather.  Below is my itinerary, could someone suggest alternatives please for the 2 days (Titlis and Jungraujoch). Thank you so much for all your support!Day 1: Arrive Luzern and roam around Day 2: Mount Titlis Day 3: Mount Rigi + Luzern boating Day 4: Interlaken Village day tour (Wengen) Day 5: Jungraujoch Day 6: Rhine falls and Lindt chocolate Museum

Hi kkarthik,

I’m sorry the weather is not looking good for your trip to Switzerland 🙁

1. To decide whether or not to go to a mountain top, visibility on the day is the key issue. If the webcam shows it is clear on top, even if it is foggy in the valley, then I think it is worth going up. If it is too windy, cable cars will be shut down, so the decision will be made for you in the case of Titlis. The train will probably still run to the Jungfraujoch unless the weather is very severe indeed. I wouldn’t worry about the temperature. It will be cold anyway, so you will need to be appropriately dressed, but you can stay indoors for most of the time on the top of the mountain if need be, and just go outside for short periods of time.

2. Please see this thread for alternative activities if you cannot follow your plans:
