Day trips to Switzerland from base in Germany
-
Hi there
We are 6 family members, 2 adults and 4 kids ages 11, 9, 6 and 2. We will be coming from Copenhagen by our own car in mid July and will be going to stay most probably in Albstadt, Germany which is about about 1 hour away by car from the Switzerland’s border. Our plan is to visit different places in Switzerland for 3 days by planning a one day for each 3 days. e.g.:
1st day plan: From Albstadt, Germany to Lausanne, Switzerland by car which could be around 4 hours and 30 minutes drive on one side. And then we will travel back to Albstadt, Germany. About 9 hours of driving.
2nd day plan: From Albstadt, Germany to Grindelwald, Switzerland which could be around 4 hours and 30 minutes drive on one side. And then we will travel back to Albstadt, Germany. About 9 hours of driving.
3rd day plan: From Albstadt, Germany to Lucerne, Switzerland which could be around 3 hours drive on one side. Take the Lucerne cable car trip and then we will travel back to Albstadt, Germany through Zürich, Switzerland. About 6 hours of driving.
Is this a feasible plan travelling and driving so much? Or should I buy a 3 day Swiss Travel Pass for my family? If I should buy Swiss Travel Pass, then how much will it cost for my family? And is it possible to take a train on Swiss-German border? How long a train could take e.g. from Zürich, Switzerland to Lausanne, Switzerland?
Best, Musharrif
