Luggage on funicular and bus to Beatenberg
-
Hi,
I will be travelling from Lucerne to Beatenberg, Hubel (Dorint Bluemlisalp). I will be travelling with my partner and two kids. We will be carrying our luggage, i.e. 2 checked in size bags and 4 carry on luggage.
I found the shortest route in the timetable as per below.
Luzern to Bern by train. (journey time from 16:00 to 17:00)
Change at Bern station (from platform 8 to platform 6) to go to Thun (journey time from 17:06 to 17:24)
Change at Thun to get a Bus 21 (journey time from 17:32 to 18:01) beatenbucht
Change at Beatenbucht (beatenbergbahn) to get Funicular to Beatenberg (journey time from 18:04 to 18:14)
Finally arraive at Beatenberg, station at 18:14 and from there take a bus at 18:20 to Beatenberg, Hubel (it takes only two minutes to reach Beatenberg, Hubel) .
I have two questions.
(1) can I my carry luggage in Funicular and also on bus? I believe I should be ok to carry luggage in trains.
(2) I will only have 6 minutes two change platform at Bern station (from platform 3 to 6). Is 6 minutes really enough time to change platform with luggage and kids?
I also have to change at Thun train station to get to bus station and as per SBB, it is 4 minutes of walk and I will have 8 minutes to change. I guess it might be ok.
I also have to change at beatenbucht to take funicular in 3 minutes. As per the SBB it is only 1 minute walk so I guess it might be ok.
I have also checked back up journey times from Bern to Beatenberg, Thun to Beatenbucht and beatenbucht to beatenberg, in case I miss any of these connection. However, it will add about an hour in journey time and will go through interlaken west.
Thank you.
