Hi Fwaliany,
Welcome to MySwissAlps! You’ll first have to decide where you prefer to stay. The regions around Lugano, Lucerne and Interlaken all offer plenty of things to do for a week or much longer. This may help you decide:
There is only one Gotthard Panorama Express per day. It is the most scenic way to reach Lucerne, but there are other options too. As quick as 2 hours if you don’t want to see the scenery. All the details are here: http://www.myswissalps.com/go tthardpanoramaexpress
Good luck making a decision 🙂

Hi Fwaliany,
Be sure to use the search box on our site to help you with ideas as well – many trip reports in our forum can give you some insight on what our members liked on their trips. https://www.myswissalp s.com/forum/tripreport s
Once you’ve looked into your options and made decisions on what to do and where to go we’ll be able to assist you on the best rail pass as well. I’d have a good look at the Swiss Travel Pass as a good option but you won’t know which is best until you make your daily itinerary. https://www.myswissalp s.com/swisstravelpass

ok so i have decided as follows:
July 18th: Visit Lugano –> Arrive from venice at noon
July 19th: Visit lugano —> Whole day at lugano —> Lake lugano, Mount Bre and Mount salvatore (if time)
July 20th: Visit Lucerne –> Arrive from lugano in morning —> Visit Lucerne
July 21st: Visit Lucerne ——> Go to Rigi for a day trip?
July 22nd:Visit Interlaken —–> Arrive from lucerne in the morning ——> visit surroundings of interlaken? or take the golden pass?
July 23rd: Visit Interlaken ——>go to jungfrau for the day trip
July 24th: Visit Zurich ———–> Take the train to Zurich from interlaken
Questions:
1) Can we go to rigi for the day trip? is it feasible?
2) Do you think I am trying to visit too many places? Would it be tiring to visit this many places in 7 days? What if I cancel Lucerne and only do Lugano and interlaken?
3) What are the best regions to jungfrau?
