    Hi Ankur,

    Yes you can do both mountains in one day but it will be a long day – so it is a personal choice if you and your group want to do it.

    You can plan your trips to the mountains from Luzern (and from one mountain to another) with the Swiss railways timetable here.

    If you aren’t planning on any hiking or other activities at the top of each mountain usually 2 hours is sufficient to look around and enjoy the views.

    Most trains will take you through Luzern yes. You can see what connections you will have to make when you use the Swiss railways timetable link in my previous post. Regardless the trip will take at least 2 to 2.5 hours.
