Switzerland Itinerary for Nature Lovers Here is the Itinerary of Switzerland to Nature Lovers

Day 1: Lucerne and Lakeside Peace Day 1

Your adventure will start when you arrive to one of the big Swiss airports, e.g. Zurich or Geneva. Then you will ride at an effective and scenic train to Lucerne, a city which is a perfect combination of medieval atmosphere and excellent natural environment. The first day is about relaxing into Swiss pace of life. Spend the afternoon walking around the beautiful Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke), the most famous attraction of the city, and the old town. The best way to have the classic Lucerne experience is to take a leisurely boat ride on Lake Lucerne. This cruise gives another angle view of the mountains around it, giving a magnificent view of the Mount Pilatus and the Mount Rigi and giving the anticipation of what the days ahead would be like with nature.

Day 2: Climbing the Mountains of Lucerne

Today is devoted to one of the two grand mountains which characterize the landscape of Lucerne. There are two memorable mountain trips to choose. The Golden Round Trip to Mount Pilatus is a legendary journey which takes visitors across a boat cruise, the steepest cogwheel railway in the world and a cable car. The trip itself is as spectacular as the panoramas of the top, where you can observe 73 alpine mountains. Or you may go up Mount Rigi, the Queen of the Mountains. An equally beautiful boat ride across the lake and then a ride by an old fashioned cogwheel train to the top provides equally spectacular 360-degree views of the surrounding lakes and mountains. You decide, but in either case you are in for an exciting day in the midst of the Swiss Alps.

Day 3: The Jungfrau region is amazing

Day three will see you traveling between Lucerne and Interlaken, which is a journey on the scenic GoldenPass Line and takes about two hours. Interlaken is an ideal location to be as a launching pad to visit the stunning Jungfrau region. As you arrive, go directly to Lauterbrunnen Valley which is one of the most beautiful valleys in Europe. You will be enveloped by the towering cliffs and 72 tumbling waterfalls here including the roaring Trummelbach Falls, a chain of ten falls fed by glaciers within the mountain. The remainder of the day can be spent in the picturesque car-free mountain villages of Mureen or Wengen accessible by cable car and train and with quiet hiking trails with stunning views of the Eiger, Mohn, and Jungfrau mountains.

Day 4: Jungfraujoch, Top of Europe

Today is a day of quite monumental alpine action: a visit to the Jungfraujoch, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the highest train station in Europe. The ride is an engineering feat in itself, with the train winding its way through the Eiger and Monch mountains which have been carved in to form tunnels. There is a panoramic view over the Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in Europe, and the snow-capped mountain peaks which can be viewed by standing on the Sphinx Observatory at the summit. Visit the Ice Palace and Top of Europe Glacier Plateau. The excursion to the round trip lasts about a half day, so you have the afternoon at your disposal to spend as you wish a more leisurely boat ride on the turquoise waters of Lake Thun or Lake Brienz, a relaxing contrast to the morning in the high Alps.

Day 5: Departure or Zermatt and the Matterhorn

On your last day, it is up to you. Provided you have the time and money, take an early train to Zermatt, a car free village that is home to the iconic pyramid shaped peak, the Matterhorn. It is a 2-hour scenic adventure to Zermatt with a journey that is as beautiful as the destination. There you can go by cogwheel train to Gornergrat to see the most exuberant panoramas of the Matterhorn and 29 other mountains above 4,000 meters. Otherwise, in case you fly out of Zurich or Geneva, you may spend the morning in Interlaken and then start your trip to the airport, thinking over the amazing beauty of nature that you have seen.

Conclusion

Nature lovers would have a 5-day trip to Switzerland as a whirlwind of the majestic beauty and memorable impressions. Whether it is the still waters of the lakes of Lucerne or the soaring heights of the Jungfrau region and the famous Matterhorn, this tour has it all, in terms of sights that will cause your mouth to gape in amazement. The transportation system in the country is seamless and scenic which makes it quite easy to see so much in a short time. This trip is not only a vacation, it is an opportunity to plunge into the untouched grandeur of the Swiss Alps.
