Hi,
Looking at your itinerary it seems very good and not too packed. I wouldn’t know what else to suggest as the activities you have on for each day will already take a few hours each to do. I wouldn’t add anything more otherwise you will have very busy days without much time to enjoy. In fact, most days seem fine to me except for Day 6…
The best way would be to determine how much time you have at each location by googling travel times (I use google maps when looking at car travel as it also provides times including traffic considerations).
For Jungfrajoch tickets, you can look at http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfraujoch
A useful pass for the excursions instead of point to point tickets could be the Swiss Half Fare Card: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isshalffarecard. That’s what drivers usually buy.
If you were to stay in the same region for a few days (which doesn’t seem to be the case) then a regional pass might be worthwhile: http://www.myswissalps.com/re gionalpasses
Here are some links to some of the destinations on your itinerary:
All the best for your trip!
Maria.
