5 Days Switzerland (6 -10 Apr 2020)
-
Hello there!
Firstly, thank you to the experts at “My Swiss Alps” for this excellent one-stop website and other contributors for helping travellers like me make our Swiss travel plans so much easier.
My husband and I will be visiting Switzerland from 6th to 10th April 2020. As we will be flying into and out from Zurich, we plan to travel down to the furthest place in our itinerary upon arrival and travel up to Zurich. We will be getting the 4-Day Swiss Travel Pass for use from Day 1 to Day 4.
Please help to review our draft itinerary. I have not yet come up with alternative plans in case one or all trips to the mountains have to be cancelled due to bad weather. Your comments and response to our plans, questions and shortlisted hotels will be much appreciated.
