Rail itinerary older couple 10 days in Switzerland
-
We are a couple my age is 67 and my husband is 75. We are travelling through Switzerland for 10 days with luggage, so would like advise on the best way to manage. My fitness level is very good, but my husband’s is not as good so this has to be taken into account. He sometimes has problems with lifting and walking long distances due to some health problems. We are interested in taking a few train journeys and also staying in some places for more than 1 day if there are things to see and also we would probably need a rest from the constant travelling and lugging of bags. We have 2 options.
Option 1. Arrive Zurich, stay 1 night.
Day2. Catch a train to Zermatt, stay 1 night.
Day 3 Zermatt to Chur on the Glacier Express,
Day 4 Chur to Lugano on the Bernina Express.
Day 5. Lugano to Lucerne.
Day 6 Lucerne to Interlaken.
Day 6. Interlaken to Montreux.
Day 7 Montreaux to Geneva.With this intinerary we would like to spend sometime in some of the places for 2 nights. The question is which ones?
Option 2. Arrive and stay in Zurich,
Day 2. Travel to Lucerne.
Day 3. Luzerne to Lugano.
Day 4. Bernina Express to Upper Engadine and sleep in Pontresina,
Day 5. Upper Engadine (Pontresina, St Moritz and Samedan, sleep in Pontresina).
Day 6. Take Glacier Express to Zermatt or straight to Lausanne (depending on weather).
Day 7. Stay in Zermatt or Lausanne.
Day 8, Take the Golden Pass to Lauterbrunnen Valley, sleep at Gimmelwald or Murren.
Day 9 Travel to Bern.
Day 10 Bern to Geneva were we would end our journey and go across to Italy.Some advise or other alternatives would be beneficial to us. We do not have to end our journey in Geneva, but thought we would stay there one night before travelling to Genoa in Italy.
