SWITZERLAND Readers's Tips - I agree that staying in one place makes the short trip feel a lot longer being familiar with your surroundings a few days in a row feels like "coming home" every night. You can have wonderful views of the main mountains if you stay in the Thunersee (lake Thun Interlaken area.aybe in Interlaken itself its main claim to fame is not its own beauty but its handy location (between two lakes in a prime position to let visitors go off in many directions for daytrips of all kinds. Plenty of hotels and restaurants, two train stations, fast connections to everywhere, that's Interlaken. You can make a daytrip to Luzern from there, currently with buses standing in for a stretch of railway that was flooded out in August, but it hardly makes the trip any longer. By late November you probably can't go to some places any longer that are high up, mountain passes close.ut that doesn't mean you're losing out.rom Luzern both the peaks of both the Rigi and the Pilatus provide wonderful views if the weather cooperates and the skies are clear.hat's a big if, of course. From Interlaken there are similar excursions providing wonderful views just for an example, Niesen and Niederhorn, two (minor peaks on opposite sides of lake Thun, both can be reached in well under an hour from Interlaken, both have cablecars to the top you can hike part or all of the way if you're game, and they feed you at the top, lunch with a milliondollar (sorry, million Swiss Francs view from both places. From Interlaken you can get to Mürren (via Lauterbrunnern in about 55 minutes, and to Wengen (via Lauterbrunnen in about 40 minutes, pretty much to anywhere in that region called Berner Oberland.ut most of those places don't have nearly the range of accommodation and dining choices that Interlaken provides, except maybe Gstaad/Zweisimmen, a rather upscale place. Interlaken is easy to get to, for example from the train station underneath the Zürich airport it takes about 2:20 hrs or so (depending on connection via Zürich (city and Bern, a few trains have direct carriages, others require a transfer in Zürich and/or Bern.lenty of trains, at least two or three every hour. Hope this helps

Good evening, just a couple remarks, From Luzern take rail to Alpnachstadt and then the incline railway up to Pilatus Klum, arrive in time for lunch and after lunch take the cable car and gondolas down to Kreins and city bus back to the main part of Luzern.This is just easy over a half day giving you additional time for Luzern. (clear day only.Wengen might be a good location as you can get to the Jungfrau shortly from there, for the Schlithorn, Murren is better. My choice for hotel location in the BO is Grindelwald.ho in November do not know if the hotels have reopened for the winter season, however surely you would find one that remains open during this time.By staying in Interlaken close to t
