Revised 1 week itinerary - Advice on feasibilityCountry forums / Western Europe / Switzerland | ||
Hi I'm going on a 2 weeks trip to Switzerland & Germany in mid April, need some advice for my Switzerland leg, especially on the Lucerne & Lugano part, should I give up 1 of them? I'll be using a 2 day flexi pass for this trip Day 1: Fly into Geneva, train to Lauterbrunnen (use flexi pass). Stay in Lauterbrunnen With this itinerary I believe it gives the most value for my flexi pass as I get half price fare in between the 2 dates which I use them. My main question is that should I stay in Lucerne & Lugano for 1 night each or skip 1 of them and stay in the other for 2 nights? My other plan is: Thank you! ^^ | ||
GVA - L'brunnen: the most scenic itinerary goes via Montreux - Gstaad - Zweisimmen. | 1 | |
Meckerdv are you referring to the golden pass line from Montreux to Lauterbrunnen? I was thinking of doing the Mount Rigi or Pilatus round trip in Lucerne hence I thought of staying there for 2 nights and taking the early morning train to Lugano before immediately catching the Bernina Express bus at 10 am. In that case I would be able to use my flexi pass for the Lucerne-> Lugano trip too. What would you recommend to do at Lugano? And do you know if the bus in Lucerne runs early in the morning as I might need to take the bus to Lucerne's train station from my hostel to catch the 6am train to Lugano assuming I stay in Lucerne the night before. | 2 | |
I know nothing about a 2day flexipass. May be you have a look at the official Swiss Pass site: It doesn't make any sense to sleep at Zurich, if you want to go to Munich after your Bernina-Albula-Express ride: | 3 | |
