Itinerary for 4 days around Lucerne in December
-
Hello everyone!
We are a group of 3 (2 guys and a girl in mid twenties) traveling to Switzerland for the first time. We’re reaching Lucerne on the 8th of December from Zurich. We are staying for 4 nights in Switzerland. We are more interested in enjoying the natural beauty of Switzerland than visiting museums etc. Expenses is a very important factor as well, we want to keep the cost down wherever possible.
There is just so much to see here and I know 4 days is not enough but we don’t have an option! I’ve read numerous posts but still can’t finalize on the itinerary and need help regarding this from you experts. I was thinking of Lucerne and Jungfrau.
Day 1 (8th December) – Arrive at Lucerne and explore the town and stay in Lucerne
Day 2: Mount Titlis/ Pilatus/ Rigi?(Need help here!) Come back to Lucerne and stay over
Day 3: Head towards Lauterbrunnen through Interlaken and visit Jungfrau (Should I stay at Lauterbrunnen or one of the mountain villages like Wengen/Grindelwald? Also any suggestions/inputs on accomodation options here?)
Day 4: I haven’t given much thought. Will have a whole day, so maybe a hike or something in one of these mountain villages. Stay overnight at the same place as previous night
Day 5: Head to Paris through Basel by train.
Does this sound like a decent plan or a terrible one considering its December? Help with the above questions and suggestions for day 3 and 4 will be really appreciated. In case the weather turns out to be a spoilsport, maybe we could visit Bern? Also, should we go for a rail pass or the half fare card for this itinerary?
Apologies if I am repeating some of the questions asked already by the fellow travelers. We are traveling across Europe for 15 days and Switzerland has been the toughest to plan as there is just sooo much to see/do!
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Arjun
