Hello there, im Franco. I would like to get recommendations and advices on our coming trip itinerary (late September-Oct).This will be my 2nd visit to switzerland. This time, me and my wife staying longer and to go more places (mainly alpines and lakes), taking outdoor couple photography with nice mountain/lake backdrops.
Day 1 (25/9/18): arrival Zurich around 7am. Base in Balmers interlaken. Day trip to lucerne visit old town and to Mount Pilatus/titlis depending on weather. Back to Interlaken
Day 2 (26/9/18):Overnight Balmers interlaken. Hike Mannlichen- Kleine Sheidegg/ excursion to jungfraujoch (weather dependent)

Transport: 8 days consecutive STP.
What do you think of above itinerary?
Questions:
1) Is 3 nights base in balmers Interlaken good choice to day trip lucern, the rest in bernese oberland
2) Do you think the schedule too packed?
3) possible to fly light weight amateur drone during our hiking (Kleine Sheidegg- Mannlichen)? or near lakes less populated area throughout our trip.
4) After the expiry of 8 days STP, on 9th day can i have discounted travels in Zurich city and to airport by showing the STP?
5) How early should I do seat reservation on panoramic train? on the same day of train travel?
Any suggestions is much appreciated!
thanks
