10 days Luzern, Montreux, Wengen in October
-
Hi, we are a couple visiting Switzerland on 1st October 2018, for a 11 days trip. We have been following this forum for the last couple of weeks. The amount of organized information we have got from here has helped us a lot in preparing the below itenerary based on our preferences which include easy hikes, scenic train / boat trips and small village visits.
Base – Luzern :
Day 1 : Reach Zurich in the evening and take train to Luzern.
Day 2 – Trip to Mount Titlis , Visit Old town , Chapel bridge
Day 3 – Trip to Mount Rigi (Boat trip to Vitznau – Go to Rigi Kulm by Cogwheel train – Hike to Rigi kaltbad – Take cable car to Weggis – Spend some time in Weggis – Take boat back to Luzern)
– Is a short visit to Bern possible after returning from Mount Rigi ?
Day 4 – Luzern – Brig (Board Glacier express) – Chur – Back to Luzern
Base – Montreux :
Day 5 – Take Golden Pass from Luzern to Montreux – Visit Vevey – Hike in Lavaux vineyards (Epesses – Chexbres – Rivaz – Saint Saphorin) – Overnight in Montreux
– Is seat reservation needed from Lucerne to Montreux in the Golden Pass route ?
Day 6 – Visit Château de Chillon. Travel to Wengen/Lauterbrunnen.
– Can we include any other activities on this day (like boat ride around interlaken or short hikes nearby) if we reach in the afternoon ?
Base – Wengen / Lauterbrunnen / Wilderswil
Day 7 – Schilthorn trip – Walk around Murren – Gimmelwald .
Day 8 – Scenic boat ride (Lake Thun or Lake Brienz) with any lakeside town visit
Day 9 – Day trip to Zermatt (Gornergrat) – Rotenboden to Rifflealp hike
Day 10 – Mannlichen to Klein Scheidegg hike
Day 11 – Return to Zurich (probably visit Rhine falls) and take flight back early morning next day.
– Based on our travel plans, which one (Lauterbrunnen/Wengen or Wilderswil ) would be a better base from Day 7 – Day 10 ?
– Is it feasible to include the First-Bachalpsee trial in any of the above days ?
– How does the overall itenerary look ? Since in October the temperature may decrease as the days pass, will it make any sense if we make our first base as Wengen/Lauterbrunnen and then move to Lucerne. Any modifications for a better experience will be great.
Thanks !
