    Team Swissalps,

    With your continuous forum updates and various thread read, i have finalised below plan for our family visit from 17th to 22nd May.

    Plan looks below,

    May 17th

    Arrival into Zurich reach Interlaken by 1400 hours, check in and free evening in Interlaken

    (May 18-19 in two days intend to cover below places), pl suggest,

    May 18th

    Interlaken to Jungfrau Via Zweilütschinen –+ Trümmelbachfalls + wengen, can this be doable suggest some place if possible to add

    May 19th

    Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen /schilthorn/murren and Grindelwald+ Harder Kulm

    May 20th

    Suggest place to cover + Lake cruise in evening

    May 21st

    Check out take Golden Pass to Luzern drop luggage at Station and Visit to Mt Titlis night stay at Zurich. Do I need reservation ?

    May 22nd

    Morning in Zurich and afternoon train to Paris.

    Since my trip majorly around BO shall I buy Jungfrau travel pass valid from 18 to 20th for 3 days ? and then buy 1 day travel pass to Luzern. Or Buy 4 day swiss pass with above itinerary ?

    Do you suggest any places worth visiting with kids of 12/14 which fits on above dates.

    Hi Kunjanmba,

    • May 18: This looks doable I think. Just have a backup plan in case weather is poor on Jungfraujoch or switch to Schilthorn or Harder Kulm if weather looks better for each day – stay flexible
    • May 19: Yes, this can work – it all depends on how much time you stay at each town or on each mountain. I might leave out one mountain (whichever looks like poorer weather).
    • May 20: Perhaps Niesen or the Ballenburg open air museum and try out a Lake Thun boat cruise
    • No reservation needed for Titlis.
    • You’ll have to do the math to compare those 2 rail passes to see which is most cost effective: https://www.myswissalp s.com/train/ticketspas ses/practical/choosera ilpass

    >> May 20th … Lake cruise in evening

    Is it the Thunersee or Brienzersee (Lake Thun or Lake Brienz) that you hope to take a cruise on?

    Last boats for the day are as follows:

    Thunersee

    • Thun to Interlaken West: 15:40
    • Interlaken West to Thun: 18:10

    Brienzersee

    • Interlaken Ost to Brienz: 16:07
    • Brienz to Interlaken Ost: 17:40 (arriving 18:53)

    I don’t know whether you would regard the last boat as an “evening cruise”, as sunset won’t be until about 21:00.
