    <<“with pocket friendly but safe accommodation. “>>

    You’ll have difficulty finding unsafe accommodations in Switzerland, although it is not impossible.

    Hi Richa,

    Some of the towns/regions below might interest you for another 3 nights:

    I recommend to look into a travel pass once your itinerary is set. If you are looking for the cheapest option, then you can find instructions here: http://www.myswissalps.com/tr ain/ticketspasses/prac tical/chooserailpass

    Hi Richa –

    Arno has given you some good options. My personal favorite would be the Jungfrau region. Many people choose it as their first or second base. Quite extensive; lots to see and do.

    I think you meant to say that you would travel in the beginning of October. Still good. During October, you get closer to Winter, have a chance of worsening weather as the month progresses, and in November only a few places are open…talking a break and fixing up before the ski season in December.

    The attached was taken on October 3rd, 2004. Fall colors in the vegetation.
