Our Swiss Alps Honeymoon..
isn’t until another 2 months but here are some photos I found by googling. We’ll be traveling around Germany/Switzerland then joining our friends (I am her MOH) on Lake Constance for their wedding.
Here’s our tentative itinerary. We’re still tweaking it, adding adventures and picking hotels so its still a work in progress. We’re working with Lydia Jaeger from Belle Vue Travel (Certified Switzerland Specalist). She’s great and really knows Switzerland / Germany well.
We plan to do some hiking, visit local museums, and eat some hearty meat and potatoes!
Thursday – Depart USA
Friday – Arrive in Zurich
Saturday – Wedding on Lake Constance. My friend will be getting married in one of the famous cathedrals on Lake Constance. Something similar to this one.
The interior of Lake Constance – look at those quaint cities. So cute.
Sunday – St. Gallen
Monday – visit Stein am Rhein then travel to Basel
Tuesday & Wednesday – travel to Lucerne
Thursday – travel to Chur
Friday & Saturday- Take Glacier Train to Zermatt – Do you see the Matterhorn?? -)
Sunday – travel to Interlaken
Monday – Interlaken – Jungraujoch
Tuesday – Travel to Lausanne
Wednesday – Chocolate Train to Bulle
Thursday – Lake Geneva Region
Friday – Return From Geneva via Zurich to USA
We purchased a Swiss Rail Pass so we could travel around Switzerland during our trip. These trains offer spectacular and scenic views through the countryside. They also have these cool “panoramic views” which offer huge windows that sweep halfway across the ceiling for better views.
