Zurich, Lucerne, Zermatt from 25 to 28 Nov
-
Hi all,
I’m planning to stop over in Switzerland (Nov 25 – 28) on my way to India from the US. This is my second visit to this beautiful country and I would love to experience a Swiss winter. I visited with family earlier this year in the summer and visited Lucerne, Bernese Oberland area and Montreux. My plan this time (I’m on a solo trip) is to spend a couple of days in the Zermatt area so I can see Matterhorn in winter.
Please see below for a rough itinerary. Can you please review and let me know if you have any suggestions?
Day 1 (Nov 25): Arrive in Zurich around 1 PM. Either stay in Zurich or take the train to Lucerne and spend the evening there. Stay the night at either Lucerne or Zurich (would appreciate suggestions on which city to stay and any activities that I can do. I understand it gets dark very early).
Day 2 (Nov 26): Take early morning train to Zermatt from either Lucerne or Zurich (avoiding travel to Zermatt the prior night so I can take in the scenery during the morning train ride). Arrive in Zermatt mid day and visit Gornergratt. Stay the night at Zermatt.
Day 3 (Nov 27): Matterhorn Glacier Paradise in the morning. Do any hikes in the afternoon if possible (any suggestions?). Stay the night at Zermatt.
Day 4 (Nov 28): Leave Zermatt by train in the morning and stop by Interlaken and visit Lauterbrunnen & Wengen – since I’ve visited these places in summer, I would love to see how these locations have transformed in winter. Make a 1 – 2 hour stop in Bern if I have the time on way to Zurich. Stay the night in Zurich and take early flight out next day.
I’ll be traveling with 2 big suitcases. I think I’ll be ok on my way to Zermatt as I’m not planning to get down anywhere in the middle. On my way back, I’m planning on using the lockers in Interlaken and Bern. Do you foresee any issues in getting the lockers in the winter season? If so, do you have any other suggestions?
Thanks!
