We got on the wrong train at spiez and instead of going to Zweissman we went to visp. We are now going from visp to montreux. Should we take the extra 90 min trip on our way to zurich airport and go through zweissman then, or just say "next time"?

Short summary – read this first

A traveler accidentally took the wrong train from Spiez to Visp instead of heading to Zweisimmen. Now they're in Montreux and wondering whether to take a scenic detour back to Zweisimmen before heading to Zurich Airport, or just skip it for now.

Key takeaways:

If you have a chance to revisit Switzerland soon, it might be better to save Zweisimmen for next time instead of rushing it now.
The views and experiences are different on this route, but it may not be essential to fit it in on your last travel day before the airport.
Consider the extra travel time and whether it fits into your schedule before making a decision.

Ah that is a shame! Not even that close to Zweisimmen. Did you carry on to Zermatt or check out Brig while you were there?

If you think there will be a next time in your near future you could pass on it. If you have the time from Montreux I’d do it personally.

Well the train ride is not a mountain; so different experiences and different sights and all that.

But I wouldn’t rate it as a must-do on your last day before the airport no. 🙂
