WeeThis is

Day 3: Vineyards of Laveaux/Vevey ?????
Day 4: Train to Lauterbrunnen area, stopping at Gstaad, Glacier 3000 to spend time (1/2 day Lauterbrunnen – depends on how much time is needed for Gstaad) —- Golden Pass
Day 5: Lauterbrunnen area – Day trip
Day 6: Lauterbrunnen – Day trip (Schilthorn/Murren excursion one day)
Day 7: Lauterbrunnen area – Day trip
Day 8: Train to Luzern 1/2 day in Luzern
Day 9 Luzern area (cable car to Mount Titlis, weather permitting, maybe the Golden Route) I have copied the following links and I have not yet read/researched.
Day 10: Train to Zurich for morning flight
I have lodging in these areas. I know I need a rail pass for this period of time, haven’t read all I need to on that. In this thread I read about the early bird discount for rail passes. I’m a little nervous about figuring out the route and trains online, but I will start reading and getting more comfortable with that. We are also in shoulder season there, I’ve been reading to see what is closed during this time.
Please review my itinerary and offer any advice that you see is obvious.
Day 1 – Basel -Only 1/2 day but we can explore – Advice or suggestions?
Day 4 – We plan to use the baggage option to take our bags on to Lauterbrunnen. I don’t know how much time we need at Gstaad/ Glacier 3000. Even if we get to Lauterbrunnen late, I think that is okay. I have not checked the rail times yet. Advice for Gstaad?
Days 5-7 – Day trips from and around Lauterbrunnen, any suggestions or advice is appreciated.
Days 8 -9 Train to Luzern (1/2 day to explore and a full day there the next day). I have looked at the Golden Route, but also read it was less expensive just to plan your own train trip. Any advice for this full day in Luzern or a better plan?
Day 10 – We will take an early morning train to Zurich to fly home.
Any details/ advice you can offer is appreciated. Thank you for your time and help! Also, I can start a new thread with this if you think that is advisable.
