FAMILY GETAWAY
Switzerland Family Holiday
Two lake towns, trains between them, one mountain day.
Overview
A family Switzerland that does not try to cover the whole country. Two stays, trains children can sit through, and one mountain day. The rest can be lakes and playgrounds.
Highlights
- Three nights in Lucerne.
- Rail between the two bases.
- Three nights in Interlaken.
- One mountain excursion paced for families.
Why this trip
- Two hotels, not a nightly pack.

- Daily load can be cut if the mountain day is enough.
