Mixed car-train itinerary Lugano-Lucerne-Bern-Genf
-
Hallo,
Would you be willing to check our itinerary?My husband and I are traveling with our 2 children, 17 and 19. Our main objective is to spend time together relaxing. Also, we are not planning to purchase a rail pass. We would like to combine train and car travel. Not sure which portions of the itinerary below would be best by train versus by car–would love your thoughts on that.
6/10: Mother/son Arrive Milan from Los Angeles- overnight in Milan
6/11: Father/daughter Arrive Milan from Copenhagen – meet at airport or central train station. Bus or train to Lugano.
6/11-6/14: 3 nights in Lugano
6/14: Drive or train to hotel in flüeli-ranft (20 minutes from Luzern–Do you think that is too far away? We prefer a country setting.). 3 nights: old town, Mt. Pilatus w/luge ride, etc.
6/17: Drive to Bern–stopping at scenic towns along way such as Brienz–avoid highways.
Spend 2 nights in Bern- try to see Murten and Avenches by car.
6/19: Daughter: Train or bus from Bern to Zurich Airport- fly to NYC
Other 3: spend another night in Bern (see Murten and Avenches?) or drive or train to Lausanne
6/20: Lausanne- old town
6/21: Montreux: Chateau de Chillon
6/22: Fly Geneva to London
This itinerary doesn’t include time for Schilthorn or Jungfrauhoch–wondering if we will regret not summiting? I guess it depends on the weather.
Danke & Merci & Grazie for any advice! We just starting planning this trip yesterday, and we know we don’t have much time to finalize everything.
