Is our 10-day Switzerland itinerary too ambitious?
-
Hi All,
My wife and I are traveling to Switzerland in August (8/24 – 9/3) – flying into Zurich.
So many places to go, so many sights to see, we want to do it all but without leaving too many “base” cities to deter
check ins /out. Our two bases are Lucerne and Lauterbrunnen. We will be obtaining the Swiss Rail pass for 8 days.Please review our preliminary itinerary and let me know your thoughts, are we missing anything, are some not necessary, recommendations?
Day 1 – Land in Zurich, travel to Lucerne
Day 1-3 –
- Lucerne/Lake Lucerne
- Bern (Half-day trip)
- (maybe day trip to Lake Geneva?)
Day 4 – Travel to Lauterbrunnen. Spend evening there
Day 5-8 – Staying in Lauterbrunnen. Depending on
weather – we plan on seeing:- Jungfraujoch (Top of Europe)
- Lauterbrunnen
- Grindelwald
- Interlaken
- (Maybe a day trip to Zermatt to see Matterhorn?)
Day 9 – Travel to Zurich (spend
evening there).Day 10 – Fly out of Zurich
We really want to see Lake Geneva and Zermatt/Matterhorn, but we know with our two base cities these are both long day trips. Are these worth making time? Is one a must do?
Thanks again – Cheers!
