    Hi mncbabu,

    Welcome to MySwissAlps! Your trip is certainly doable and you will see a lot of Switzerland in a short time, if you would be lucky enough to have good weather. The weather is a risk here as you move to a different base nearly each day. Jungfraujoch requires a clear sky for you to enjoy the views.

    Whether it is too much train traveling is up to you. You can find train schedules in the timetable. Be sure to spell town names correctly so you’ll get the appropriate schedules: Luzern/Lucerne, Jungfraujoch, Lausanne, St. Moritz, Tirano. Just Lucerne to Jungfraujoch and back takes 8 hours on trains, for example.
