    Dear Swissalps team,

    I booked Sep 8 to Sep 16 -2018 these days for fantastic Swizz trip.Now am stuck with itenary.I am landing in Geneva from Kuwait.Could you please provide me a good itenary to visit most beautiful places using Swizz train ,lake and bus system in the days. My family include 2 kids ( 3year and 1 year old).I am interested in Jugfrauj,Titlis,Glacier,Chocklate factory,etc.I am preferring best each one mountain, lake and sceneric area rather than all moutains and lake.

    Landing 1400hr in Geneva- Departing from Geneva 16th 1700hr..

    I am expecting a good replay

    Thanks

    ARUN (00965-67682724 Whats ap only)

    Hi Arun

    Maybe our itinerary we did (with older kids ) can be useful . Itinearies are always driven by individuals in tersm of pace , locations to be visited , budget etc . In your case you have young kids ..keeping in mind those sensitivities ..here is my suggestion

    Suggest you keep one city as the base ..

    Day 1 – Geneva – coming of a long flight you might want to spend the day in Geneva – City Tour – Lake Geneva – Montreax – Geneva (overnite).

    Day 2- Head to Interlaken ( can be the base for your trip). – You can try to get the Golden Pass line from MOntreaux to Interlaken

    Day 3 – Interlaken – GrindelwaldJungfraujoch – Grindelwald (dinner) – Interlaken

    Day 4 – Interlaken – Broc – Bruille (Choclate/Cheese factory vists) – INterlakenn

    Day 5 – Interlaken – Laterbrunnen (Waterfalls) – Schilthorn (mountain) – Murren (mini trek to Gimmelwald)- Interlaken

    Day 6 – Interlakken – Luzern (scenic train) .- Mount Titlis – Luzern (overnight)

    Day 7 – Luzern – Rhine FallsZurich city tour – Luzern

    Day 8 – Luzern – Lugano (Gothard Panorama Express) – route partly by boat . Lugano provides the Italian flavour . You can take a cruise on Lake Lugano – Luzern

    You might want to take it easy on Day 5 and such do a trip to Latterbrunnen …..depending on how your children keep up to it .

    The glacier express/ bernina express have not been included as the journey might be quite strenuous for the children .

    You can use a 8 day swiss travel pass that would cover most of the trips except Jungfaruch and Titlis .

    Trust this helps.

    Day 6

    Hi Arun and welcome to MySwissAlps!

    If you’d like some planning help have a read through our link here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/plantrip

    Day 2: Perhaps a nice place to rest on the way back to Montreux or Lausanne (I’d stay in Montreux (https://www.myswissalp s.com/montreux) from the Glacier 3000 would be Gstaad. https://www.myswissalp s.com/gstaad

    Day 3: If you start early you’ll still have a 1/2 day after visiting Gornergrat. Read about Zermatt and what to do there here: https://www.myswissalp s.com/zermatt

    Day 4: No, taking the Golden Pass to Interlaken from Zermatt and then going up Jungfraujoch can’t be done in 1 day. It is too much. https://www.myswissalp s.com/goldenpass & https://www.myswissalp s.com/jungfraujoch

    Use the Swiss railways timetable to plan out trips: https://www.myswissalp s.com/timetable

    If you take the Swiss Travel Pass for 8 days starting September 8, it will expire at 05:00 September 16. You’ll need to buy tickets on the 16th (or on the 8th if you decide to start it on the 9th). https://www.myswissalp s.com/swisstravelpass
