Advice for my (new) Switzerland itinerary?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Hi all. I posted my Switzerland itinerary several days ago and got some good feedback. I've altered it a bit for other reasons -- changed some things, moved some things around, largely to be in New York by a certain date, which is where I'll be stopping instead of going home right away. We're also ending in Paris so we could fly direct from Paris to NY without a big layover, which many of the flights out of Zurich had, and because my Dad and I would like to do a couple things we didn't get to do on our last trip there.

Questions:

1) Am I spending too much time in Berner Oberland? It looks beautiful and I'd like to have time to do everything there that's worth doing, but was wondering still if I need that much time. (People have told me to skip Lucerne and that it's overrated, but I would still like to see it. It looks really beautiful to me.)

2) Is Appenzell worth it? It seems a bit out of the way. Maybe too much a pain to get to for the 1/2 day we're spending there. The main attraction for me when planning was the Bergastthaus restaurant on the mountainside.

3) Any other recommendations?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 0: Arrive in Zurich late evening.

Day 1: Get to Appenzell. Spend half day there. Get to Chur late afternoon / evening.

Day 2: Chur --> Zermatt via Glacier Express. What's left of the day in Zermatt.

Day 3: Zermatt.

Day 4: Get to Berner Oberland. (Still figuring out if we're going to stay in Interlaken, Gimmelwald or Murren. Probably Gimmelwald.)

Day 5: Berner Oberland

Day 6: """

Day 7: """

Day 8: Get to Lucerne. Rest of day in Lucerne.

Day 9: Lucerne. [Will either spend full day in Lucerne or will head to Paris that evening.]

Day 10: Be in Paris. Spend day there.

Day 11: Spend morning / early afternoon in paris before late afternoon flight to NY.

Thanks!
