Hi guys,

I was wondering what you would recommend:

We fly into Geneva on 3rd May landing around 10am.  Flying out on 6th May at 10am from Zurich.  Will be staying in Geneva for 2 nights and the 3rd night not decided yet.  We are husband and wife and would like to visit some mountains during this trip.  Would Titlis or any others are recommended during our short stay?  Shall we buy the Swiss Travel Pass for our short stay?

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Oxy

Hi Oxy,

Welcome to MySwissAlps.

Thanks for sharing your plans.

For any mountain excursion, you’d want favourable weather, so best you check the weather forecast beforehand. A day or two ahead should be reliable for you to plan.

Whilst based in Geneva, you could travel to the Jura mountains. When in Zurich, if you scroll to “Day trips to the Alps from Zurich”, you’ll find additional suggestions:

Do use the Swiss timetable so you can plan an research journey times accordingly:  https://www.myswissalps.com/travel/public-transport/timetable/

For your short trip, if you are anticipating a lot of a transportation travel, it could be that the Swiss Travel Pass would be a good option: https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/swiss-travel-pass/.  The only way is to carry out some maths.  We do have a handy guide to assist. Within the link below, there is also a downloadable spreadsheet that you can use for your calculations. Thereon, the best rail pass is displayed.

Saver Day Passes could be an option too but generally not many mountain trips are included, though visits to Mt. Rigi or Rochers de Naye and Mt. Stanserhorn are free and included.  All explained in the attached link:  https://www.myswissalps.com/travel-ticket/saver-day-pass/

Lastly, should you need any accommodation suggestions for Geneva or Zurich, you can find some here:

• Geneva:  https://www.myswissalps.com/accommodation/hotels/geneva/
• Zurich:  https://www.myswissalps.com/accommodation/hotels/zurich/

I hope this gets you started.  Do reach out if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Yolanda
