Lake Lungern

The answer

For two, rarely. The shared day already gives you Lucerne and the lake for far less. Pay the extra if you want Interlaken and Lungern in the same day, or your own driver and host from your hotel.

The car collects you at your hotel door at the time you are given, and no one else is in it. The road to Lucerne is motorway almost all the way. In Lucerne you walk with the host to the covered bridge, the old town and the lion carved into the rock face, and you decide how long to stay.

After Lucerne the road climbs to the Brünig Pass, with Lake Lungern below it, then on to Interlaken between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. You choose whether to give Interlaken one hour or two. On the shared day a coach collects a group in Zurich at a fixed time, drives to Lucerne, puts you on the lake boat for the cruise and brings you back: ten hours in all.
