switzerland trip in december
A traveler named Lakshman and his wife are planning their first trip to Switzerland from December 19 to 22. They want advice on sightseeing in nature and the Alps while managing the cold weather. They're also interested in traveling to Paris afterwards.
- Consider staying in Lucerne for day trips to the mountains or choose Zermatt and Grindelwald for mountain stays.
- The Glacier Express is a full-day trip; stay in Zermatt and St. Moritz to enjoy the route fully.
- For traveling to Paris, consider the TGV train from Geneva or Lausanne after your Swiss trip, and buy a 3-day Swiss Saver Flexi Pass for flexibility.

Hi Lakshman,
If you like to stay in a larger town and do day trips to the mountains, Lucerne would be very nice, and close to Zurich airport. If you want to stay in the mountains you can take a look at Zermatt or Grindelwald for example.
The links below will help you plan your trip:
December is cold indeed, but whether it’s just chilly or freezing cold depends on the location and the weather of the day.
thank you for your valuable reply..and I have other doubts ,I want to take glaciar express to do day trip to mountains.which area will be good for staying and to visit other areas as well .I need base station for all places.
I want to move to paris after this trip.which way is good to travel paris from Switzerland and what train bookings required.
can we get online tickets for point to point tickets .or is it required to get mail as like swiss pass
waiting for your reply
thank you
Hello lakshman,
The Glacier Express is a full day train ride. It can’t be done from one base as a day trip. You could do part of it from one base, but if you want to see the whole route you’d better stay in Zermatt and St. Moritz. A travel plan can be found here. Since you will be going to Paris afterwards I recommend to first go to St. Moritz, then take the Glacier Express to Zermatt. You can stay an extra night in these towns to enjoy the mountains. Then proceed from Zermatt to Geneva or Lausanne and take a TGV train to Paris from there. This thread explains how to get cheap tickets: http://www.myswissalps.com/forum/topic/cheap-train-tickets-from-paris-to-switzerland. Besides that TGV ticket you would need a 3-day Swiss Saver Flexi Pass for this trip, as mentioned in the travel plan.
thank you arno…for your information .
