Itinerary advice for 5 days in Bernese Oberland
-
Hello everyone,
First of all, I would like to thank everyone who contributes to this forum which helped me a lot in planning my next trip to Switzerland.
My wife and I will spend 5 days in the Bernese Oberland region, more specifically in the Reichenbach im Kandertal village.
We will arrive from Luxembourg by car on 25/12 and depart to Zurich on 31/12.
Not considering the arrival/departure dates, this is how our itinerary looks so far:
26/12 – Zermatt, Gornergrat
27/12 – Glacier Express from Brig to Chur and return on regular trains (my wife badly wants to do this)
28/12 – Lauterbrunen, Murren, Schilthorn
29/12 – Grindewald, Jungfraujoch
30/12 – still not sure what to do
So, here are my questions:
- I feel like our itinerary is focused only on mountains, any suggestions to change something? And what to do on the 30/12?
- How full will the attractions be at this time of year? Should I expect waiting queues?
- I’m still deciding which pass to buy and comparing prices between the 4 days Swiss Travel Pass and the Half fare card. Considering the attractions I’ve mentioned, would it be worth looking at any other?
- Since we will be with our own car, if we take the Swiss Travel Pass, do you think I should leave my car parked at our village and go everywhere by train? I was thinking of maybe driving to each city and parking, and from there doing everything without the car using the travel pass. I’ve read the topic comparing car x train, but I’m still undecided as I imagine it would save time going by car.
Any other considerations you have would be of great help.
Thank you again for your help.
