I have a Eurail Global Pass, which I want to utilize to the fullest during my stay. While Switzerland is so beautiful, with so many places to visit, I have become very confused as to how to plan my literary there. Now as already stated, I am so confused that I am not able to make a plan as what to do each day. My place of Residence is in Geneva. So day trips to take the Glacier Express or Bernina Express are impossible. But don't worry there are other very scenic journeys! What is your entry and exit point?
If you're coming from Lake Como for example, you could take the Bernina route along the way. Unfortunately Geneva is pretty much the worst place to explore Switzerland, being so far away from the restβ¦. There's also a map available which include all railways where it is valid.
But I can't find it So I am planning that I move from Geneva on the last day and spend the last night in Chur. So my Accommodation plan would look like a bit of this:. Brienzersee, Iseltwald, Grindwald, Lauterbrunnen or something like this???
You can't travel on the Glacier Express without paying the 49 CHF, however you can take the hourly regional trains on the same route for free. Actually they're even better as they're less crowded and have pull-down windows :. Here is a suggestion which includes visiting most of the country. Please don't travel 10h every day , you won't enjoy it.
But you can avoid this, using on the same route local trains that run hourly. No reservation needed and less crouded and on top you can exit the train and take the next one. On Glacier Express route no direct train except the Express, local trains need to change trains. For timetables look at sbb. Same on Bernina route, local trains on the same route or you use one of the carriages on the top of the Bernina Express. This caeriages has no panoramic windows but can be open. The connection to the bus to Sondrio is too tight.
