Switzerland trip during Christmas vacation
-
Hi,
I live in Amsterdam, Netherlands. I have seen many posts on the blog but I cannot get to a conclusion on my doubts.
I have already planned my trip for two (me and my wife) from 21st Dec onwards until 30th Dec as below:
- Geneva — 1 night
- Zermatt — 2 nights
- Interlaken — 1 night
- Engelberg — 2 nights
- Lucerne — 2 nights
- Zurich — 1 night
I have attached a detailed plan if required.
Flight ticket to Geneva and from Zurich and hotels are already booked so I cannot change the plan.
This would be our first trip together after. But now I am having doubts whether is it correct time to travel there because of following reasons:
- Will I be able to visit mountain peaks? For example, I was not able to book a cable car ticket in advance as those dates for Titlis. Does it mean it could be closed and therefore other peaks too like in Interlaken and Lucerne?
- How practical it would be to roam around as temperature will be really low. Whats arrangments should we make. For example type shoes and other accessories.
- We don’t know Sking.
- I presume Daylight will be 8 hours at least. If not are we going to end up spending most of our time in hotels itself?
- Swiss Travel Pass Consecutive suits my travel because of convenience as I don’t have to buy tickets every time and is flexible so I will get those. But I read it somewhere that trains can remain canceled. Now I am worried if I will be able to reach my places after having these passes.
- I Have not included ant panoramic trains in the plan but does any of those falls in my trajectory. Then maybe I could add them.
- Please suggest Tips to make this trip easier and if any challenge which I cannot foresee as of now but should be prepared for?
Regards,
Chetan Sharma
