Hi

I am planning for 6.5 days in Switzerland. I have prepared my itinerary as mentioned below

0: Milan to Luzern
1:Luzern (Stay in Luzern for Overnight) Look for the ride in Lake Luzern,
Famous Transport Mueum, Chapel Bridge,Glacier Garden, etc etc
2:Luzern (Check out from the Hotel) - Mount Pilatus/Mount Rigi/Mount Titles - Check in to Interlaken Evening in Interlaken
3:Interlaken - Montroux Chillon Castle and Choclate Fcatory (if Possible)
4: Interlaken - Villages Near Interlaken like Wengen Griendelwald, Lauterebernne (Not decided exactly)
5: Interlaken - Zermat Covering Gornergrat. Checkin Zermat
6: Zermat (Check out) to St Mortiz Glacier Express Stay in St Mortiz
7: St Mortiz (Check Out) - Tirano Bernina Express Tirano - Milan(Flight to home)

As I have read so many reviews i feel the above mentioned itinerary is possible for us to do. Kindly provide some suggestions on the itinerary.

I have some questions and doubts as mentioned below

1: As from Luzern these Mount Pilatus/Mount Titles mount ranges can be covered.
Kindly advise which should be covered.

2: As I am covering one in Mount Pilatus/Mount Titles and Gornergrat (in Zermat) so i am thinking to drop Zungfrou. Is it the right thing to do?

3: As I read many reviews to chose between Gornergrat and Matterhorn. I am thinking to do Gornergrat. Kindly provide some suggestions.

4: 6th day I will be in St Mortiz for some hours. Although I have just 4-5 hours. Kindly suggest. What I can do in that area.

5: 7th day is our returning day back to Milan and from Milan flight for home. I am planning to take Bernina Express from St Mortiz at 09:34 from St Mortiz which will reach Tirano at 12:03 and 13:00 i will be taking train from Tirano to Bergamo which will reach at 16:00 and 18:30 i have a flight from Bergamo.
Here my train schedule is very tight. If one of the trains gets late I can miss my fight.
Can you please suggest in Swiss does the trains get canceled or delayed?
Just give me your experience.

Also does in Tirano the station from which I have to board the train for Bergamo is the same where the Bernina Express will arrive.

Also does any body know how far is the train station in Bergamo and airport in Bergamo. How much it takes.

6: As I am planning to take Bernina Express from St Mortiz to Tirano. Does is it possible to take the photographs from the train without getting reflections from the window.

7: Above all the most confusing part is which pass I should consider. As we will be in Switzerland for around 7 days. I have checked Swiss Pass for 2 people is coming as very costly. If we go for the Half fare card does it will be economical for us. Kindly give some suggestions.

Thanks alot

We explained you 1 week ago, that this itinerary (and especially the day trips from Lucerne to Montreux etc.) is a complete nonsense!
It's not forbidden to do it, but stop asking the same again and again.
