Bernese Oberland and Lucerne itinerary for Oct
-
Hi,
I’m looking for some guidance in finalizing my itirenary. We are a family of four, with two kids, 13 and 7, on our first visit to switzerland from October 6-13. I understand 6 days isn’t enough to enjoy everything. I’m mainly interested in the Bernese Oberland area and I think I would like to do the Golden pass route, other than that I’m open to changing things around. I’ve my hotel bookings but can change things around. I’ll be getting the Swiss Travel Pass. We love nature and easy/moderate hikes. We are also interested in doing activities–time permitting. I think with my plan I’m trying to allow some flexibility for Jungfrau with the weather conditions, if not possible on Day 2, we could move it to Day 3 or 4.
I’m wondering if on day 4 if I should bother with staying in Interlaken at all, or just stay one more day at Lauterbrunnen, or is it better to stay day 3 and 4 in Interlaken. Should I nix something from this plan? I would have loved to include Appenzell somehow, but don’t see how i could, maybe another time.
Sun, Oct 6 – Land in Zurich in the morning, head to Lauterbrunnen, explore Trummelbach falls and surrounding area – stay in Lauterbrunnen
Mon Oct 7 – Jungfrau (weather permitting or switch with tues/wed iti), explore Grindelwald, Wengen, Murren – stay in Lauterbrunnen
Tues Oct 8 – Golden pass to Montreal, Gruyere Cheese factory and chocolate factory – stay in Lauterbrunnen
Wed Oct 9 – Check out from Lauterbrunnen, drops bag at Interlaken hotel and visit Lake Thun, Spiez, Bern – stay in Interlaken
Thursday Oct 10 – Check out from Interlaken, head to Lucerne, drop bags at hotel, and explore Lucerne Bridge, lion monument- stay in Lucerne
Friday Oct 11 – Visit Stanserhorn or Rigi or Titlis (any recommendations), and Lake Lucerne- stay in Lucerne
Saturday Oct 12 – Check out from Lucerne, head to Zurich hotel, visit Rhinefalls and explore locally- stay in Zurich

Any input is appreciated.
