Swiss Trip for 6-7 Days May 2013
-
We are going to be traveling (2 Adults) around Europe for 2 months throughout May/June and are seeking some advice with traveling through Switzerland and in particular the train passes.
Dates
We will be coming from Paris on the 5th from and leaving to Munich on the 11th/12th May.
Destinations
– 2 Days in Zurich/Lucerne
– 4-5 Days in Jungfrau Region
– Possibly Zermatt?We are looking to spend about 4 days in the Jungfrau Region which to see some of the great sites and enjoy some time relaxing as well.
Question 1. Could we fit Zermatt in this time frame to or would it be to rushed and best used in the Jungfrau Region?
Question 2. Are we best to base ourselves in Lauterbrunnen or further up either side in Grindelwald/Wengen etc?
Question 3. Best spot for Paragliding?Travel
This is where we are most confused with different passes and what we actually use.
Question 4. Best way to get to Interlaken from Paris?
Originally we were going to fly into Zurich but it seems to make more sense to get a train/flight from Paris to Geneva and then take the Golden Pass to Interlaken.
Question 5. Are we better value at getting a half fair pass or a full Swiss Pass etc??
What concession will each pass give us for trains past Grindelwald etc?
Will either of these cards get us on the Golden Pass train as well? Easiest way to book on this train as the website seems to block out dates on Mat 5th.
Question 6. Getting from Zurich to Munich. I was reading a Swiss Pass gets you to a certain point and then we need to buy a P2P? We are after the easiest option and least confusing here on how to go about this! Something where we can book now so we don’t get stuck with a crazy price that we have seen when leaving until the last minute.
Thanks very much in advance for any help they can provide.
We both cant wait to enjoy Switzerland.
