I'm considering a trip to the Swiss Alps before or after the US-Ghana match. Does anyone know how possible this is in terms of train travel? If I'm basing myself in Munich for the match in Nuremberg, is that doable?

Thanks for your thoughts.

When I was in Munich, I rented a car to see Neushwanstein (sp) and the Austrian Alps (it's only about an hour). If you want to go to Switzerland, it's going to take longer.

I was planning on heading over there after the US-Ghana game. That is if I get tickets.

My wife and I love Switzerland but it is a little out of the way and somewhat expensive. You may just want to visit the German and/or Austrian Alps instead.

Guess which is which from these pictures...

Any particular reason you want to go to Switzerland? The German and Austrian Alps are just as scenic and beautiful.

I'll be in Munich as well, Switzerland is close enough that you could probably make a 2 day/1 night trip out of it but the German and Austrian Alps are a day trip.

I briefly entertained the thought of getting a day or 2 of glacier skiing in on this trip, but apart from the fact that I can't really fit it into my budget, the absolute LAST thing I want to do is lug ski boots around Germany for 2 weeks.

FCT--Well the 3rd is the Matterhorn in Switzerland, so I'm going to go Germany #1 and Austria #2.

Prague is the place to go for the 3 day 2 nite trip b/w K-town and Nurenburg. I will be there and, of course, Amsterdam after Kelsenkirchen to start the party off with a bang . . .

I'll be trying to make many side trips to all of the countries around Germany, including Switzerland.
