13 days Zurich-Glacier Express-Interlaken-Lugano
-
I’m planning a trip for 14 days with my elderly parents (so don’t want to make it very rushed; too much walking). Here is what i’m thinking; but would love to get expert guidance if I can plan differently…Many thanks in advance!
we are keen on exploring scenic beauty ; enjoy local food, relax in Switzerland and then finally do some shopping at the end in Lugano outlet mall & Milan.
arrive in Zurich, stay 3 nights; explore city, may do rhine falls
day 4- take a train from Zurich to Chur and then take glacier express from Chur to Zermatt – so all day in train, arrive in Zermatt by evening.
Day 5 & 6in Zermatt ; day 6 late afternoon; drive or take train/ bus to interlaken
day 7-10 Interlaken as base to explore jungfrau, Lucerne, grindelwald, lauterbrunnen valley, gruyere(may be?)
day 11 interlaken to lugano – 2 nights in Lugano – half day sight seeing and one day the outlet mall
day 13 head to Milan for 2 nights and fly back.
my questions are as follows:
1. Is there a better order to optimise my travel? I.e. do interlaken first and then Zermatt but how do I fit the scenic glacier express … understand that Andermatt to Chur is the most scenic part but it doesn’t fit anywhere ..
2. Should I keep only one base for Lugano and Milan instead of 2. I.e. do 2 day trips ?
3. Would you suggest driving or taking trains/buses for travelling around interlaken during days 7-10? Would driving be more convenient , bearing in mind parents ..
look forward to hearing from you… thanks
