Hi Sagar and welcome to MySwissAlps!
If the plane price is that much cheaper to Geneva than by all means fly there. 🙂
From Geneva you can take a train to Montreux and start the Golden Pass scenic train route on to Lucerne. It would be a bit of a long day but quite scenic and if you fly into Geneva in the morning could work quite well.
Lucerne to Jungfraujoch is quite a long day (4 hours by train each way) so be ready for that.
Use the Swiss railways timetable to plan out all your trips. The mountains near Lucerne – noted here – are much easier to reach than Jungfraujoch (like Mt. Titlis).I would suggest buying a 4 day consecutive Swiss Travel Pass – no need for a Swiss Travel Pass Flex. You can add on the Swiss Family Card to your order for free (which give your son free travel with you everywhere in the country.
I hope that helps your planning – let us know if you have more questions!
Hi Sagar,
This tip might come too late if you have plane tickets that can’t be cancelled, but just in case: for the Lucerne to Paris transfer I’d recommend sticking to the trains. That’s quicker and often cheaper. Only one change in Basel gets you to the center of Paris, so it’s more convenient than a flight as well (considering check-in times and transfers to and from airports).
hey thanks lucas,
will plan accordingly , just wanted a bit more info
how much time will it take in total to reach lucerne form geneva- montreux – lucerne
how do i reach montreux, do i need any booking or canm just buy the swiss pass and move , do i also need to reserve the seat for the golden pass train , what are the timing for departure , tried seeing the time table but it seems a bit confusing .
the flight form rome to geneva will reach geneva at 10:20 am
will i have to buy extra train tickets for golden pass even as i plan to buy the swiss travel pass for 4 days .
is their any possibility i i could squeeze in glarier express in the time i have
would be grate if you help me plan my entire itenary for four nights , as i plan to cover the best of Switzerland scenic , to make it one of the most memorable trip of our life
appreciate you help and advice
thanks

Hi Sagar,
Please use the Swiss timetable. When traveling from Montreux to Lucerne via the Golden Pass, make sure to put Zweisimmen in the via box. There’s no need to book tickets in advance and you don’t need any seat reservations. It’s covered by the Swiss Travel Pass.
We don’t create itineraries here, but we’re happy to give you our feedback. However, since you’ve booked already accommodation for four nights in Lucerne, you’re question might be more around what to do in Lucerne? It will be difficult to fit in the Glacier Express.
