Dear Flow, I am Harsha from Bangalore, India. I find that your replies are really useful and informative.
I want to travel to Switzerland with my wife for 4 days (August 2nd week 2012). I plan to cover the following.
Zurich, Lugano, Titlis, Interlaken, Lucern and schaffhausen and the golden pass.
If you could answer my questions, that will help me a lot.
1. Is this too much to do in 4 days? If yes, pls suggest what I can drop.
2. What travel plan you suggest to me?
3. Should I buy the swiss pass ([ux]https://rail.shop/acprail/switzerland[/ux]) ? I am worried about buying swiss pass and not getting reservations, becuase I need to spend around 420 SFs for 2 passes.
Thanks in advance

Hej Harsha,
sorry for the late reply. So, are you travelling in Switzerland only or do you want to visit other countries too?
Your plan might be a bit crowded but it should be possible - if you are OK that you wont have much time in each place.
Day 1) Zürich - Schaffhausen, in the evening to Lugano, stay overnight
Day 2) Lugano - Luzern, stay overnight
Day 3) Luzern - Engelberg/Titlis - Interlaken, stay overnight (Luzern - Interlaken is the first half of the Golden Pass route)
Day 4) Interlaken - Montreux (Golden Pass) - Zürich
This would be a possible route.
You do not need any reservations on that route. Of course, if you want too, you can get some but in Switzerland usually only tourists make reservations. ;)
The only route where it would make a little sense to reserve would be the Golden Pass on the Zweisimmen - Montreux leg. But since you would go there on day 4 it should not be a problem to make these on day 1.
