    A question for you: Are the locations listed supposed to be the places you plan to visit on that day or the towns you plan to stay overnight?

    For example, you can stay in Interlaken and do day trips to Bern and Grindelwald.

    Hi Naman22b2,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps.

    Personally I would prefer to stick to a minimum of 3 or 4 base to avoid checking-in and out too many times. Based on your plans, I would overnight in Geneva, Zermatt, Interlaken and Zurich.

    I suggest spending a night or two in Geneva to allow you more time to day trip to Montreux and explore the Lake Geneva area: http://www.myswissalps.com/geneva/activities

    From Interlaken, you can plan day trips to Bern and the Jungfrau region (including Grindelwald): http://www.myswissalps.com/interlaken/activities

    You can stop in Lucerne for sightseeing on the way to Zurich. http://www.myswissalps.com/lucerne/activities

    Are you planning to get a railpass? Based on your itinerary, I think the Swiss Travel Pass provides the best coverage.

    Hope this gets you started.

    Regards,

    Anna
