Bookmark or Share- Lucerne or Interlaken - Rick Steves Travel ForumRegarding the rail trip from Lucerne to Interlaken Ost, the shortest time I could find was 1H:50M, which seems to be consistent for every trip on that route. There appear to be departures hourly. Add about 25 minutes for the trip from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen (you'll have to change to the smaller Berner Oberland train at Interlaken Ost).
- Lucerne or Interlaken? - Rick Steves Travel ForumThe trip from Lucerne to Kleine Scheidegg (where you connect with the Jungfraubahn) is 3H:13M with two changes. If your primary sightseeing goal is the Jungfraujoch, it would be better to stay in Lauterbrunnen or Mürren in order to reduce the travelling time.
- Lucerne watch Company - NAWCC ForumsLucerne is the name of a well know touristsl city in the heart of Switzerland. The name had remained unprotected as a TM for watches for ages and been used for many knock-offs made all around the world.
- Use Luzern as home base? - Rick Steves Travel ForumLucerne is super cute. As a possible alternative, you could day trip to Mt Titlis. We did not do this, but it looks like a more manageable day trip and the summit is a few feet taller than Schilthorn. Mt Rigi is a nice short boat/train/cable ride from Lucerne, but it is much lower than the big peaks further into the Alps.
- Home base options - Interlaken, Lucerne, Grindelwald, other?Lucerne is a 2 hr. train ride from Interlaken, due to frequent stops. You can easily get from Interlaken to Zurich airport in 2.5 hrs because it runs more as an express. Lucerne is nice, my wife and I like it for a 2 day visit.
