What This Lucerne and Interlaken 5 Nights Package Covers
A lucerne and interlaken 5 nights Switzerland 5 night package uses two bases — Lucerne for lake and old-town days, Interlaken for mountain excursions — with short train or road transfers between them. The land-only scope includes arrival transfers and route sightseeing, with a proposed 3-star stay on breakfast, leaving flights, visa and optional mountain entries to be added.
The route runs Zurich arrival, two nights in Lucerne, three nights in Interlaken, then Zurich departure. Lucerne gives access to Chapel Bridge, Lake Lucerne boat rides and Mount Pilatus; Interlaken puts Jungfraujoch at 3,454 metres, Lauterbrunnen and Grindelwald within day-trip range. The indicative price of ₹1,62,500 per adult is land-only on twin sharing and excludes flights, GST/TCS, Schengen visa, insurance, permits and optional entries such as Jungfraujoch railway tickets. Final pricing depends on departure city, hotel availability, exchange rate and excursion selection. Eligible departure cities are Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai.

Tour Highlights
Six places anchor this lucerne and interlaken itinerary: Chapel Bridge and Lake Lucerne in Lucerne, then Jungfraujoch at 3,454 metres, Lauterbrunnen valley, Grindelwald and the twin lakes flanking Interlaken. Each is reachable as a day trip from one of the two bases, keeping travel days short for families with children.
- Lucerne old town
Chapel Bridge and Water Tower
Lucerne's 14th-century covered wooden bridge and adjacent Water Tower sit at the head of the old town, a short walk from the main station and lake piers. The painted triangular panels inside the bridge depict scenes from Swiss history.
Best forFamilies with young children; easy first-day orientation walk
Walk it early morning before tour groups arrive; the painted panels inside are easier to see with fewer people.
- Lucerne
Lake Lucerne boat ride
Lake boats leave from Lucerne's pier and connect the old town with lakeside villages and Mount Pilatus access points. A round trip on the lake is a low-effort afternoon activity with mountain backdrop views.
Best forA relaxed family afternoon with mountain views
Check whether your Swiss Travel Pass or excursion ticket covers the specific boat route before boarding.
- Jungfrau region, reached from Interlaken
Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe
Europe's highest railway station at 3,454 metres, with the Sphinx observation deck, Ice Palace and Aletsch Glacier viewpoints. The official ascent takes about 1 hour 30 minutes via Eiger Express or 2 hours 10 minutes by the traditional route from Interlaken.
Best forFamilies with older children who can handle altitude and cold
Reserve seats in advance, check the official webcam on the morning of travel and carry warm layers even in July; temperatures at the summit are well below valley levels.
- Bernese Oberland, reached from Interlaken
Lauterbrunnen valley
A valley of waterfalls and sheer cliff walls, including Staubbach Falls, that works as a gentler alternative to a full Jungfraujoch day. The train from Interlaken reaches Lauterbrunnen in under 30 minutes.
Best forFamilies who want mountain scenery without high altitude
Combine the train to Lauterbrunnen with a short walk toward Staubbach Falls; keep the pace slow with younger children.
- Bernese Oberland, reached from Interlaken
Grindelwald
A mountain village with cable cars and walking trails, useful as a flexible weather-day option from Interlaken. The Eiger Express gondola departs from Grindelwald Terminal on the Jungfraujoch route.
Best forFamilies wanting cable cars and short walks on a flexible day
Decide between Grindelwald and Jungfraujoch on the morning of travel based on webcam visibility.
- Near Interlaken
Lake Brienz and Lake Thun
Two lakes flank Interlaken and offer boat trips, lakeside promenades and swimming spots in warmer months. Lake Brienz is closer to Interlaken Ost station; Lake Thun suits a slower afternoon with younger children.
Best forRest days between mountain excursions
A lake afternoon works well as a rest day between Jungfraujoch and Lauterbrunnen.
These are the places families most ask about when planning a switzerland 5n6d tour on this route. Confirm opening times, mountain railway seat availability and any seasonal closures closer to your travel date.

Lucerne and Interlaken vs Other Switzerland Routes
A lucerne and interlaken 5 nights itinerary suits families who want two bases, short transfers and both lake and mountain days. A Zermatt-focused route adds Matterhorn views but increases travel time from Zurich, while a Zurich-only city break is cheaper and simpler but misses the Bernese Oberland mountain experience entirely.

Before you travel
India-Specific Tips for This Switzerland 5 Night Package
Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa before departure, must budget for airfare and insurance separately, and should plan around school holidays when booking a lucerne and interlaken 5 nights trip. Flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad connect to Zurich with one or more stops, and Jungfraujoch mountain railway seats are best reserved early.
- Apply for a Schengen visa through the official route
Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa for Switzerland. Apply through the Swiss representation or its authorised visa application centre, submit the tourist checklist including biometrics and supporting documents, and allow sufficient processing time before booking non-refundable flights. Visa approval is not guaranteed.
Visa - Budget in Swiss francs for on-ground spending
The package price is land-only in INR, but all on-ground spending in Switzerland is in Swiss francs. Carry a travel card and some cash for meals, transport top-ups and small purchases; treat any INR conversion as indicative because exchange rates move.
Money - Compare flight routings from your departure city
Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai are the eligible departure cities. Most routings connect through a Gulf or European hub to Zurich; total journey time and fare vary by airline and season, so compare options before confirming travel dates.
Flights - Reserve Jungfraujoch seats and check webcams on the day
Jungfraujoch is the most weather-sensitive day in this itinerary. Reserve seats in advance through the official Jungfrau Railways channel, check the webcam on the morning of travel and keep Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald as a backup plan.
Excursions - Pack warm layers for children regardless of season
Jungfraujoch sits at 3,454 metres and is cold even in July and August. Pack warm layers, comfortable walking shoes and snacks for children. Discuss altitude with your doctor if any family member has respiratory or cardiac health concerns before travel.
Packing - Plan around Indian school holidays for best availability
Indian school holidays in May, October and December align with peak or shoulder season in Switzerland. Book early for May and December travel; September is a strong alternative with moderate crowds and prices across Lucerne and Interlaken.

Questions, answered
Before you enquire
Straight answers on pricing, changes and what happens after you send your trip details.
8 answered belowStill unsure?
Ask a specialist anything about this trip — there’s no obligation.
Ask a specialistIs the Lucerne and Interlaken 5 nights package suitable for families with young children?
Yes, the two-base structure and short transfers suit young children better than a multi-city schedule. Jungfraujoch at 3,454 metres is the most demanding day; families with very young children often swap it for Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald instead. Confirm pace and room configuration with Tripstor before booking.
What is the indicative price of a Switzerland 5 night package for a family of four?
The indicative land-only price is ₹1,62,500 per adult on twin sharing, so a family of four would typically be quoted across two rooms or a family room. Children's rates depend on age and sharing arrangement. Flights, Schengen visa, insurance and optional entries are extra; treat all figures as indicative until Tripstor issues a personalised quote.
Which hotels are used in the Lucerne and Interlaken 5 nights package?
Example properties include Hotel Krone Luzern and Hotel Metropole Interlaken at standard tier, and Hotel Eden Palace au Lac and Hotel Royal St Georges Interlaken at premium tier. These are draft suggestions subject to availability, not booked or confirmed. The final hotel depends on your chosen tier and travel dates.
What is the best month for a Switzerland 5n6d tour with Jungfraujoch?
June to September offers the most reliable mountain access and longer days for a switzerland 5n6d tour. July and August are busiest and most expensive. September balances weather, crowds and price well. December suits Christmas markets but has shorter daylight and weather-dependent mountain days; always check webcams before any Jungfraujoch departure.
Do Indian travellers need a visa for this Lucerne and Interlaken package?
Yes, Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa for Switzerland. Apply through the Swiss representation or its authorised visa application centre, submit the tourist checklist with biometrics and supporting documents, and allow processing time. Visa approval is not guaranteed, so apply well before your departure date.
How many days do you need for Lucerne and Interlaken?
Five nights gives two nights in Lucerne and three in Interlaken, enough for Chapel Bridge, a Lake Lucerne boat ride, Jungfraujoch and one valley day in Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald. Adding Zermatt or Montreux would need more nights. The 6-day structure keeps transfers short, which works well for families.
What is not included in the Switzerland 5 night package price?
International flights, GST/TCS, Schengen visa fees, travel insurance, permits and optional entries such as Jungfraujoch railway tickets are excluded. Lunches and dinners unless specified, and personal expenses, are also extra. The indicative ₹1,62,500 per adult covers land-only services on twin sharing with daily breakfast.
Can I customise the Lucerne and Interlaken itinerary for my family?
Yes, Tripstor builds a personalised proposal around your dates, departure city, party size and preferences. You can adjust the hotel tier, swap Jungfraujoch for Lauterbrunnen or Grindelwald, and add or remove excursions. Request a quote and confirm manually; no instant booking is taken on this page.
