Hi,

I find this forum interesting and helpful. We are a couple in mid forties travelling from Zurich on our way to milan in end sept.

We like to see two mountains, some lake and valley, countryside and local cuisine and flavour.

I have thought of the following route.

Zurich–Lucerne–Interlaken—Andermatt–Lugano—milan

Pl suggest places to see and town to stay and any changes to be made to make this worthwhile.

What should be our mode of transport and we would like to see as much enroute.

Thanks in advance

Sandeep

Hi Sandeep, thanks for joining MySwissAlps!

To start off with, you could take a look at the pages below. They provide tips on day trips and accommodation for some of the towns/regions you mentioned:

• Zurich
• Lucerne and Lake Lucerne
• Interlaken and the Bernese Oberland
• forum topics on Lugano

Switzerland has an excellent rail network, and I definitely recommend to do all trips by train. Scenic transfers can be made by traveling the Golden Pass route between Lucerne and Interlaken, and the regional Lötschberg train via Goppenstein when getting from Interlaken to Andermatt. The timetable will help you to plan all trips in detail.

How long will your stay in Switzerland last? And how long would you like to spend in each base town? That will help us provide rail pass advice and further tips.
