    Hi,

    we are reaching Zurich on 7-06-2018 morning and going To rhine falls from Zurich.

    Our stay is in Lucerne so we will be leaving to lucern after rhine falls. Next 2 days we are in Lucerne. One day we would want to go to titlis.

    9-06-2018 evening we will reach grindewald next morning we would want to go to jungfrau and then Brienz lake by evening.

    Please suggest when can we take one scenic train in our schedule.
    2nd day in Lucerne is not planned and 2nd is grindewald is not planned for anything. Note second day from grindewald we will be going to Basel to catch our flight which is at 5. Second day in Lucerne also we will be leaving to grindewald by evening. So please suggest when can we take one of the scenic train in these days.

    Another example where much of the information sought is on these pages and in the various previous discussions.

    Seems you could be cramming a bit much into the limited time you have available.

    I would suggest the Zentralbahn train from Luzern to Interlaken as your scenic trip. There is an easy interchange at Interlaken Ost station to the train to Grindlewald.

    The Zentralbahn train passes close to Brienz Lake and offers some very good views.

    I would also explore the various local pass options that may assist your planning.

    Enjoy your travels.

    Your request is very confused I’m afraid.

    All I can say is that if you are travelling Zurich – Luzern and visiting the Luzern area and the Grindelwald area all the trains you will travel on will be scenic in some way

    Hi VidyashreeB and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    On your free day in Lucerne (or on your free day in Interlaken) you could take the Golden Pass scenic train route to Montreux and back.

    For ideas on what to do on your free days in Lucerne look here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/lucerne/activiti es
