Hi there,
I will be driving from Basel to Lugano in August and then heading across to Lake Como. I have 4 days to make the drive and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about where to stay?
Currently thinking of spending 1 night near Jungfrau and 2 nights in Zermatt. Any ideas on good places in either?
Many thanks,
Daniel
I suppose you know that both, Jungfrau area and Zermatt can only be reached by train. Your car will be of no use in these areas (check the parking fees at Lauterbrunnen and Taesch).
Standard railway fares:
Lauterbrunnen - Jungfraujoch and back: 176 CHF
Taesch - Matterhorn Paradise and back: 108 CHF
Huge discounts with Swiss Pass which grants free rides between Basel - Interlaken - Zermatt - Lugano (railways as well as alpine post coaches).
