Family with toddler, 8 days Switzerland September
-
Hi all,
We are family of 3 (me,wife and 2 years toddler) planning to visit Switzerland for 8 days from September 21st to 28th, this will be our first trip. We have experience in hill walks in UK, and would like to spend more time in mountains. I have booked accommodation for 3 nights in Sachseln and 4 nights in Lauterbrunnen. I will be flying from London and reaching Basel airport by 10:30 am on Sept 21st and flying back from Geneva on Sept 28th at 9:30 pm.
This is my 1st draft of itinerary, will looking for suggestions from the experienced members
1) Day 1 : After landing in Basel airport store the luggage at Lucerne station and city tour for half day. or check in to the accommodation and come back to Lucerne.
2) Day 2: Mt Titlis ( weather dependent), is it ok with 2 year toddler? We are interested in the activities like Glacier park and cave,Cliff walk and Ice Flyer.
3) Day 3: Stoos Ridge walk ( weather dependent). If the weather is not so good for ridge walk we might go all the way to Fronalpstock. I have still not quite decided on this, Other options are Either go to Mt Pilatus or Rigi. Any thoughts on choosing these 3 options?
4) Day 4: Check out from accommodation, go towards Lauterbrunnen. Stop at Meiringen and store the luggage and visit Aare Gorge and Reichenbach falls. Need some suggestion on this day. If the weather is nice i might go directly to Lauterbrunnen instead of stopping at Meiringen.
My rainy day alternative for the above days are
Swiss Museum of Transport
Hergiswil glass factory
5) Day 5: Männlichen – Kleine Scheidegg walk
6) Day 6: First – Bachsee walk
7) Day 7: Grütschalp -Allmendhubel – Mürren, optional cable car to schilthorn hill
My rainy day alternative for the above days are
Trümmelbachfälle and staubbach falls
Bern
Lake Brienz boat tour and interlaken
Day 8:Golden pass line
Lauterbrunnen – zweisimmen – Montreux – Geneva
There are 2 trains covers this line, one is at 8:32am (3 stops) and another is at 10:32am ( 4 stops, extra stop at Spiez) , does both are different? Do i need reservation for any of these connection? If yes, is it possible to reserve the seat while buying the ticket?
Any suggestions on what to do in Geneva for half day?
I have made all the calculations for fares and come to conclusion Half Fare Card is better for my itinerary.
I am looking forward for your thoughts on the itinerary, Thanks.
