    Hi there,

    Myself and 4 other people will be traveling form Geneva to Zurich the first week of May for 5 days. Although I wish we had longer, we only have 5 days to do this trip. I am wondering what the best itinerary would be for us to do/see. I would like to go to Zermatt and Interlaken/Grindelwald. I’m having trouble figuring out the best train route. I would appreciate any suggestions!:)

    Thanks, Stephanie

    Hi Stephanie,

    It is fairly straightforward to travel from Geneva to Zermatt and then on to Interlaken and/or Grindelwald and ending in Zurich by train. You can search train schedules here for your particular dates of travel.

    The towns above I linked will show you information pages on what to do and where to stay in the area (they are great options for mountain scenery).

    Also you may want to buy a Swiss Travel Pass that will cover your train and bus journeys while in Switzerland – more information can be found here.

    If you have specific requests or questions please let us know!

    Thanks for the info! When I try to find a route from Zermatt to Interlaken, it does not allow me to see it on the site. I know this is a connection, how do I find out where to connect? Also, when in Switzerland, is there an app or something usable on my cell phone to find train times and such? Thank you!

    Hi Stephanie,

    I am not sure if I understand your issue. If you use the train schedule link Lucas provided you can find all trains and click the plus icon for details about each connection. Is that what you were looking for? The link explains all details about how to use the timetable.

    A list of apps and practical websites can be found on myswissalps.com/abouts witzerland/practical/w ebsites.
