Hi,

Could you please review the itinerary and the choices we intend to make. We are a couple travelling from India in the last week of MArch. First we visit Austria for about 5 days and then onto Switzerland.

-Travel from Innsbruck to St. moritz by train. Stay in st.moritz for 2 nights.

*Question:

1) unsure whether we should go directly to st moritz or get off at sargans and start using the swiss pas from that day itself?

2) Is a day trip to lake como is possible?

– Take the glacier express from st moritz to Zermatt and arrive by evening 5pm. stay for 2 nights. Take the funicular railway to the matterhorn and go to the glacier paradise.

– Take an early morning train to Montreux (3 hrs). spend 2 nights in Montreux

– Take a morning train to Lucern (3 hours) or the Golden Pass Line (5 hrs) from montreux to lucern

*Suggestions required here :

3) should we opt for the golden pass line or no?

4) we want to visit Jungfrau and Mt.Titlis. Are both worth visiting since we plan on visiting Matterhorn as well so will it be too many peaks to visit?

5) Or should we opt on visiting Mt rigi and Mt. Pilatus?

6) are 2 nights in lucern enough?

7) Instead of Lucern can we stay at Wengen for better travel?

– A train ride to Zurich from Lucern(1 hour )

– depart from Zurich

8) Should we do this route or should we first go to Lucern from Zermatt, then onto Montreux and depart from Geneva?

Thanks

Hi Agarwalsugyy, welcome to MySwissAlps!

1) The border is Buchs SG. A normal ticket from Buchs to St. Moritz costs CHF 56. If a pass day costs less than using the pass makes sense. You can find pass prices and retailers here: http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/price. By the way, you don’t have to get off the train to start using your pass. You only need to get off if you need to change to another train to get where you want to go.

2) A day trip from St. Moritz to Lake Como is not feasible in my opinion. You can find travel times here: http://www.myswissalps.com/ti metable. I recommend to focus on things to see in the area: http://www.myswissalps.com/st moritz/activities.

3) Yes, that is the most scenic route from Montreux to Lucerne: http://www.myswissalps.com/go ldenpass.

4) 5) That’s really a personal choice. All mountains are different but of course it’s ok to skip a few. The below pages help you to see what to expect and make your choice:

• http://www.myswissalps.com/go rnergrat
• http://www.myswissalps.com/kl einmatterhorn
• http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfraujoch
• http://www.myswissalps.com/ti tlis
• http://www.myswissalps.com/ri gi
• http://www.myswissalps.com/pi latus

6) 7) Lucerne and the surrounding area offers enough to do for weeks: http://www.myswissalps.com/lu cerne/activities. Visiting Jungfraujoch from there requires a lot of traveling. You will pass the Jungfrau region while on the Golden Pass line, so staying a night or longer there could make sense: http://www.myswissalps.com/ju ngfrauregion.

8) That order may save some time. You can check that using the timetable I linked to under point 2).

I hope this helps!
