Scenic trips in event of poor weather from Brig
-
Hi, I would like some feedback on two alternate trips in the event we strike poor weather to see the mountains. We will be based in Brig early October for 3 nights as the start of our 8 day Swiss holiday and plan to catch the Glacier express to St. Moritz. Whilst based at Brig we wish to travel to Zematt and see the Materhorn. We would also like to visit Jungfrau as a day trip but this is not critical as we will have another opportunity when returning later via Lucern.
The two plan B trips I have in mind are as follows. I think they are OK but just need some feedback regards the logistics e.g if the transfers are not too difficult, also I understand that the train from Domodossola to Locano requires a supplement payment to the Swiss Travel Card. How much is this? I suspect that this train might be a reservation only service, what are the chances of making a booking for 2 on the day of travel or day prior? Can a booking be done from Brig railway station? Any other suggestions or preference of one over the other most welcome
