158.0. "24 Hours in Switzerland?" by TIANT::BRZOZOWSKI (See it happen => Make it happen) Wed May 14 1997 13:42

    I will have 24 hours of free time in Switzerland soon - help me plan
    it!
    
    My meetings will end on Friday afternoon in Geneva.  I will fly out of
    Geneva on Sunday morning - stay near the airport Saturday night.
    
    So I have from Friday evening until Saturday evening on my own.
    
    I would like to travel by train so some place scenic where I could stay
    Friday night and walk around on Saturday.  I would prefer a smaller
    village or town to a city, but I am open to your ideas.  An itinerary
    that takes me to a few places on Saturday is good, too.
    
    Are some places safer than others?  Are there things I should keep in
    mind as I'll be traveling alone?
    
    Thaks you for any and all ideas!

158.1Zermatt is closeAKOFAT::VISCONTIThu May 15 1997 11:247
    I'm on my way to Switzerland for two weeks vacation tonight so I have
    done alot of research, I would think that Zermatt and the Matterhorn
    would be an excellent try.  Hopefully, some of the locals can pitch in
    and give you train times, etc., I know it isn't too far.
    
    Regards,
    Jim

    How about Villars? It's beautiful and is closer, so you will not waste
    time travelling to and from Geneva. Not as spectacular, but pleasant
    with many small hotels and cafes.
