    Hi! My name is Diana

    I’m planning a visit to Switzerland later this year, probably from October 28th to October 31st and have a couple of questions:

    1. I would love to stay in a mountainous place at least for one night but not sure where, any recommendations? I’ve seen Grindelwald and it’s close to Egelberg and Mount Titlis so maybe it’s a good option? I’ll be coming from Lucerne or Zurich.
    2. How pricey would staying at a hotel/chalet/airbnb like that be? I have a fair budget but also I’m not rich :D.
    3. What activities would you recommend doing in the high mountains besides sightseeing?
    4. How cold might the weather get?
    5. Could we see snow? I have seen snow several times in USA, but I’m traveling with my boyfriend and he has never seen snow. We were hoping to get snow in Mount Titlis.
    6. And lastly, is 4 days enough time? Switzerland is for sure a highlight in my Europe trip and of course it is a pricey one, but I want to make sure 4 days is enough to at least visit Lucerne, Mount Titlis and a town in the mountains.
