Swiss First Time Visitor 9D8N, where best to go?

Hi!

We are planning to go straight from Zurich Airport to either Interlaken (1st choice) or Lauterbrunnen (2nd choice), depending on the accommodation availability and have our base there from which we would go to the following places:

1. Titlis

2. Lucerne

3. Bern

4. Zermatt

And then leave the base to go to Chur and St Moritz before going straight to Zurich for home.

What do you guys think? Good for first time?

Hi Arno,

Thank you for all your suggestions, especially your pointing out the attractions and viewpoints around Interlaken and Lauterbrunnen. I went to the link you gave and will definitely squeeze time to visit some of those.

I have the impression that both Zermatt and St Moritz are "about similar" resort towns. So I am thinking maybe if really time doesn't permit, i will skip Chur and St Moritz, unless you can really point to me again some of the attractions which i could only get in those two places.

The theme of our trip is more about Swiss nature and countryside. So we would really want to see the views and enjoy the autumn weathers.

Also, we are looking to stay at farmhouses, like www.farmstay.ch but cannot really find the ones similar to that near Interlaken or Lauterbrunnen (at least by browsing the internet). Is there any internet website that specializes on farm stay accommodation?

Your advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi honeymoon. I understand what you say about St. Moritz and Zermatt. The scenery is different in both towns, but picking one of the two is fine and results in a more relaxed itinerary. Personally, I would prefer selecting only a few resorts and taking my time there, rather than visiting as many places as possible.

You could take a look at www.bauernhof-ferien.ch (available in English too) to find a suitable farm accommodation. www.tourisme-rural.ch may appeal to you as well.
