Tour – looking for 3 nights before Basel cruise
-
I need some recommendations. I have a group on Uniworld river cruise from Basel in August 2020 and I am planning a 3 days excursion in Switzerland prior to the trip.
We arrive in Zurich from the US and want to take the Glacier Express train. I have 3 nights accommodations and I am undecided where to stay. My plan train from airport and 2 nights the first stop since everyone will be tired from the long flight.
How is St Moritz for 2 nights , than the Glacier Express to Zermatt than overnight. or would it be better to overnight in Chur. Than take the train to Basel. I am trying to stay in the most picturesque towns.Does anyone have another idea where to stay?
Also I am thinking of the 3 course meal on Glacier Express. Is it worth the cost or would we be better bring on food. We will travel in 1st class. What is the best side of the train for viewing. Does anyone have a recommendation for hotels? . I really appreciate any feedback. This is more confusing than I thought.
I think my best option since it is only 3 trains is to use the 1/2 pass and get discounted train tickets. Can I book reservations in advance?
