Hi Mmtrosdal, welcome to MySwissAlps!

I’d recommend to click to the “What to do” and “Where to go” items in our main menu. If you start exploring there you’ll get a lot of information to compile a wish list. It’s really hard for us to suggest scenic places (there are a lot) for someone we don’t know. Please feel free to post a basic plan here for feedback, and we’ll be glad to look into it.

Zermatt is a nice ski town. Have a look at our Zermatt page to see if it appeals to you: http://www.myswissalps.com/ze rmatt

Another popular base town is Lucerne or another mountain village (somewhat similar to Zermatt) is Wengen that is quite popular here: http://www.myswissalps.com/we ngen

Use the Swiss railways timetable to help you plan your trips between towns and mountains: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable and once you have a rough itinerary post it here and we’ll be glad to look it over!

Thank you so much..We are most interested in amazing mountains,, and the cable car to tiitlis//pilatus sounds awesome-but in Feb looks like thats the only highlight in Lucerne.. thinking the best 2 bases are Zermott and Bernese Overland. Thoughts? and traveling to Titis on the way to zermott or Overland.. and which place to visit first? Or just have one base and travel from there?

Zermatt is a great town in February I think but there isn’t a good base for both the Bernese Oberland (http://www.myswissalps.com/be rneseoberland) and Zermatt so I’d stay in both areas. Depending on where in the Bernese Oberland you want to go, Wengen can be a great town to stay in – for the immediate area.

If you want to visit the mountains around Lucerne you may want to stay in Interlaken or perhaps Thun to make the travel a little easier. The timetable will guide on you on travel times and you may find Wengen is still fine for you.

Thank you! Hoe would it work like this-

first and second day lucerne-

zermatt 3 days-

express train to st moritz-

stay there or chur 2 days-

then zurich to fly out…..should stay in zermatt 2 days instead of 3 (not big skiers)

keep reading how interlaken is so touristy-I was there 20 years ago and loved it but I know things and ppl change!

Yes, I think that is a nice trip. All are very nice towns to enjoy in the winter.

If you aren’t avid skiers or winter sports people I might add the 3rd night to Lucerne and then 2 in Zermatt and 2 in St. Moritz.

We also have hotel suggestions on our town pages as well:

• http://www.myswissalps.com/st moritz/hotels

Do note the Glacier Express between Zermatt and St. Moritz has mandatory reservations, which you can make here: http://www.myswissalps.com/gl acierexpress/packages
