Advice for 4 days in Interlaken next June
-
Hello, this is my first post. I would like some advice about an itinerary I have come up with for my family of 4 (2 adults 2 children aged 14 and 12) after researching for some time. I have already booked the flights and hotel. I will be staying in Interlaken and flying into Zurich and leaving at Geneva. Below is what I have come up with it and I hope I can get some advice and I also have a few questions. By the way, this trip is happening in June 2019.
| Day 1 |
- Arriving at Zurich in the morning at around 10 am.
- I have heard there is not much to do there but am interested in maybe quickly going to the FIFA World Cup Museum. If there is more/better stuff to do in Interlaken or the Jungfrau region then I am happy to leave earlier straight from the airport if it is better.
- From Zurich to Interlaken via Lucerne or Bern (I don’t know which one yet).
- Check in anytime between 2 pm and 11 pm.
- The rest of the day I can do whatever there is to do in Interlaken or the Jungfrau region other than the ones I have planned for the following days. I was thinking maybe Harder Kulm and St Beatus Caves.
| Day 2 |
- Leaving early to go to Jungfraujoch since I heard there are fewer people, better weather and is cheaper to go early.
- I wanted to go spend some time in Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald on the way up to Jungfraujoch but that would take away the positives about leaving early.
- Spend a few hours on top Jungfraujoch
- Come back down the other route so either Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald. Coming down I should have more time so I was planning maybe to fit in Grindelwald First because the cliff walk sounds fun.
- Then come back to Interlaken and if there somehow is time left then maybe a cruise on Lake Brienz or Thun?
As you can see I am unsure about the Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald on the way up. I want to go to the Staubach Falls and Trummlebach Falls as well in Lauterbrunnen but I also want to get up to Jungfraujoch earlier so I’m unsure and would greatly appreciate help in this area.
| Day 3 |
- Going to Lucerne via Goldenpass Line. (Day trip to Lucerne)
- At Lucerne, we will start with completing the Golden Round Trip (http://www.pilatus.ch/en/disc over/golden-round-trip/).
- Then we plan on seeing the Lion Monument as that seems like a popular place.
- With the time left, I have read about a place where I can make swiss army knives and a plane museum.
- Then return to Interlaken to spend the rest of the day if there is any time left and to sleep (last night).
| Day 4 |
- Check out of the hotel in the morning and leave to Geneva via Montreux (Don’t plan on spending time there as we have to carry luggage at Geneva we plan on finding somewhere to store our luggage for the day).
- The rest of the day we will explore and do stuff in and around (should be close) Geneva until our flight which is at night.
Questions:
- What rail pass should I get for this (I was thinking the Swiss Travel Pass but Jungfraujoch trip doesn’t give much of a discount so I am researching prices and stuff to find which one will be cheaper but if anyone here can provide some info I would appreciate it
). - Help to fix Day 3 as I have already explained.
- What should I do in Geneva and Zurich?
- Any other suggestions/advice.
I apologise for this long post but any help will be greatly appreciated and I really do not expect all my questions to be answered but some would be nice. In the meantime, I will continue my research as I really look forward to this trip and I want to make sure it is done right.
