Itinerary and rail pass help for 5 days in Swiss
-
I will arrive via train to Lucern (from Paris) on February 2 and will thereafter travel to Milan on February 7, 2017. My itinerary is as follows:
Feb 2 – arrive in Lucerne in the afternoon and sightseeing in the area
Feb 3 – day trip in Lucerne with Mt. Rigi and Lake Lucern
Feb 4 – mountain excursion in Mt. Pilatus
Feb 5 – mountain excursion in Mt. Titlis
Feb 6 – free day (either Interlaken/Jungfraujoch or Bern or some other place)
Feb 7 – Panoramic train going to somewhere near Milan and proceed to Milan
With this itinerary, my questions are:
1. What rail pass do I purchase? Do I buy Eurail Pass OR point to point tickets (between countries) plus Winter Tell Pass? Based on my calculation, the Eurail Pass will not pay off with my itinerary for the other countries. But this will change with my itinerary in Switzerland.
2. For Feb 6, what’s the best thing to do, Jungfraujoch, Bern or some other?
3. Is a whole day itinerary for a mountain excursion in nearby places too much time? Can I do two mountains in one day to free up another day?
4. What’s the best panoramic train to use to go Milan (Gotthard perhaps if I will already use the Golden Pass Line for Interlaken if I go there on the 6th)?
Thanks in advance!
Mike
