Question: #4: Where to catch the best view of the Swiss Alps?
I know, people have mentioned it and I have read about it, the best would probably be Jungfrau, Zermatt and Matterhorn, but the fact is that they are rather far from the route I am taking and it would be rather inconvenient for me. So this is my travel plans, could somebody tell me where can I photograph the best possible (and most memorable) picture of the Swiss Alps?1st day train from basel to Geneva, arriving in Geneva 9am, spend a whole day in Geneva2nd day early morning train to Montreux, where I will be visiting Cheatteau de Chillion, then afternoon train to Interlaken, where I will be for 4-5 hours. Then late evening train to Luzerne where I will spend a night3rd day Whole day spent in Luzerne (The city area only)Amongst these places, where can I catch the best sight of the alps? in the city, for example, or on train journey? - asked by Aleckii
