Gimmelwald, Zermatt, Luzern, Zurich in September
-
We are scheduled to travel to Switzerland in Sept and have already learn so much from this forum. We are going to finalize are plans and would appreciate any advice.
We will be traveling from Lyon, France to Switzerland.
Day 1. travel from Lyon to Geneva. then activate Swiss travel pass and go on to Gimmelwald. Walk around the village. We heard this is beautiful small village up in the Alps.
Day 2. Take Schilthornbahn lift to Stechelberg. then walk along river to Lauterbrunnen. Take cable to Grutschalp, then walk to Gimmelwald
Day 3. travel to Zermatt. Walk around Zermott
Day 4. Buy the Peak2Peak ticket and take the lifts to see Gornergrat ridge, Furi, Matterhorn Glacier Paradise station and back down.
Day 5. Travel to Luzern. Will take Glacier Express for part of the way to Andermatt. (unless people think we should to at least to Chur). If time this day will try to go Burgenstock Hotel for a evening drink
Day 6. Day trip to Pliatus – Bus to Kriens, take gondola to mid-station. ride the tobaggan, then another gondola up to Mt. Pilatus, then back down to Kriens and bus to Luzern
Day. 7 Travel to Zurich – walk around
Day. 8 Zurich – no specific plans yet
Day 9 Fly home from Zurich.
We realize we are only staying 2 nights in each place. We do not mind moving around. We want to do some hiking. We will be there the first two weeks of September so we would like to know what type of weather we should expect and how crowded it will be. Are we after the high travel season.? Any thoughts on this itinerary would be most welcome. Thanks
