Please help with planning 15 day itinerary in June
-
We are planning a family vacation (2 + 6 yrs old daughter) for 15 days in June 2016. Based on this forum discussions and other sites we have sketched a rough itinerary below. Please provide comments/suggestions to add/delete/modify locations, durations (of stay) and other tips in general. Also any recommendations for accommodation at each place will be helpful.
The main intention of the trip is nature! We love natural beautiful landscapes, mountains, cozy lodges/hotels. Not much interest in cities.
Day 1: Land in Zurich (most likely in the morning) — visit Rhine Falls
Day 2: Golden Pass Train to Lucerne (morning) — visit Mt Pilatus (Lucerne –> Alpanchstad –> Pilatus –> Cable Car/Bus –> Lucerne)
Day 3: Lucerne: Visit Mt Rigi (Lucerne —> ArthGoldau —> Rigi (cogwheel) —> Vitznau (walk or train) —> Lucerne(boat))
Day 4: Lucerne: Visit Mt Titlis (best route?)
Day 5: Lucerne: Backup for bad weather or local sightseeing
Day 6: Golden Pass Train to Interlaken (Morning) — Visit Mt Skilthorn (Interlaken —>Lauterbrunnen —> Stechelberg (Bus) —> Schilthron (Cable Car) —>Murren (Cable Car) —> Gruschalp (Walk) —> Lauterbrunnen (Cable Car)—> Interlaken)
Day 7: Interlaken: Visit Mt Junfrau (Interlaken —>Laterbrunnen —> Kleine Scheidegg —> Jungfraujoch —> Kleine Schedegg —> Grindelwald (EigherNorth Face) —> Interlaken)
Day 8: Interlaken: Backup for bad weather or local sightseeing
Day 9: Travel to Brig (Which train?) (morning) — Small Hike Bettmeralp to Fierscheralp (Brig —> Betten—> Bettmeralp (Cable Car) —> Gondola —> Hike to Fierscheralp (1hour) —> Fiesch (Cable Car) —>Brig)
Day 10: Brig: Visit Zermatt/Matterhorn (Brig —> Zermatt—> Gornergrat (Cogwheel) —> Zermatt —> Brig)
Day 11:Montreux (any special places to see?)
Day 12: Montreux: Boat ride to Geneva/Lausanne
Day 13: Travel back to Zurich (Should we stop in Bern?)
Day 14: Zurich/Bern
Day 15: Fly out
Apart from some specific questions embedded above, we have some more doubts.
1. We have excluded St Moritz and Lugano area. Should we replace Montreux with that?
2. Are there any better suggestions for Day 11 onwards?
3. Did we miss any “must see” attraction in the list above?
I know there is lot of time for June, but need to finalize soon as we are trying to use our miles for airline booking. Earlier we can finalize the number of days/dates the better.
