Hi Natarajks and welcome to MySwissAlps!

I think you itinerary looks reasonable – but what are your actual travel dates? Also, Day 2 looks too busy, I might cut something out there.

The Swiss Travel Pass should work quite well for you. It covers virtually all transport in Switzerland and covers some attractions as well (more details here).

As for hotels, we have recommended hotels for most towns in Switzerland – click here to look through our lists.

Cheers,
Lucas

Thank you Lucas,

Your reply has helped greatly. I will cut down the day 2 in Interlaken a bit. May be I will do Shilthorn and Birg and forget Sunset.

I am planning to travel in April 1st weekend. Does Swiss Travel Pass cover travel from Frankfurt to Interlaken and Lucerne to Frankfurt?

Is it a good idea to rent a car and drive my self?

Regards

Hi natarajks,

I would not rent a car for Switzerland, no – trains are much more convenient.

The Swiss Travel Pass only covers routes within Switzerland. You will need to buy a ticket for the trip to and from Frankfurt to the Swiss border. You can buy those tickets here, this trip usually will route you through Basel, sometimes with a train change and sometimes direct.

Regards,
Lucas
