Lucerne and Zermatt itineraries with 2 seniors
-
I just lose myself on this site, reading suggestions and trip reports…it is so helpful. With suggestions from an earlier post, I feel confident about our Lauterbrunnen walks and treks. But as mid-September nears, I was hoping to firm up plans for the other two cities – Lucerne and Zermatt. I thank you for reading my elaborate cry for help.
1. In Lucerne, we wanted to keep one day for a day trip to Titlis. My sole motive is to get my parents as close to snow for sometime as possible…to pick some up, throw it around and have fun…In September, the choice of places to do that narrows down, have heard (not going to Jungfraujoch)
I would have another half day of sorts (day of arrival, and then, perhaps, the morning of the day we leave Lucerne). Besides the city, is there something we should just not miss, somewhere you came away from with glowing, warm memories?
Any pockets in Lucerne recommended for food and its atmosphere?
I have read about the boat rides…how remarkable are they? Or is a train ride to and from Interlaken more scenic and not-to-be-missed as Anjan had experienced…we will be taking a train from Lucerne to Lauterbrunnen, if that is relevant here.
Of course, with my above-60 parents, I am not looking at hiking and anything too strenuous (where too many steps are involved, or too uneven a road etc.) Cable cars are fine…but after Titlis, would it make sense to attempt Rigi or Pilatus (we have more peaks coming up subsequently in the trip).
2. Once in Zermatt, besides attempting Gornergrat and Kleine Matterhorn (depending on time, weather, energy), I really like the views in Riffelalp…if not hiking, people can also get off a train/cable car at this place? We have 1.5 days in Zermatt…So, it will be mainly about the Matterhorn (rather than the town of Zermatt). Any suggestions of what not to miss.
I am still unsure if non-skiers can get on to the snow in Klein Matterhorn?
Thank you once again for allowing me to take some of your time, I hope my questions make sense…
Best wishes.
