How to get from Lucerne to Grindelwald to Zurich?
-
Four of us (active retirees) have credit from a trip that was cancelled due to COVID, so we are thinking of booking a train tour of Switzerland for early June 2022.
It goes counterclockwise from Zurich, with our last nights in Lucerne. Unfortunately, it skips the Grindewald area, which sounds so beautiful. IF it isn’t too complicated or exorbitantly expensive, we’d like to extend the trip by a couple days so we could go up the Jungfraujoch (“Top of Europe”) and the Schilthorn.
Main Question….How difficult (and expensive?) would it be to get ourselves from Lucerne to the Grindewald area and then get back to the Zurich Airport without having to drive? How long would we need to allow?
Would we need to go back for an overnight again in Lucerne (or maybe Zurich?) before a mid-to- late morning flight, or would we be able to take a train to the airport from the Grindewald area? We plan to pack light, but it would be nice to leave a suitcase somewhere in Lucerne if we’d be going back there en route to the airport (perhaps our last hotel or are there storage lockers in that area?)
Would we be seeing “more of the same”, or is this area quite different from the areas we will see on the train trip (St. Moritz, Lake Maggiore, Zermatt, Lake Geneva, Lucerne) and worth seeing while we are there?
(Sidenote: Is it likely that Grindewald would have a lot of wildflowers in early June, or is that too early?)
Sorry for having so many questions, but we are not used to doing this type of travel without a guide or travel agent to help us with these details! Thanks, in advance, for your help!
