Overview

This skill helps plan Switzerland trips with a focus on Alps rail logistics, mountain timing, and verified entry and customs rules. It delivers practical, operational plans—base choices, day-by-day flows, booking deadlines, and weather-downgrade options—so travelers get feasible itineraries, not postcard ideas.

How this skill works

It inspects trip month, altitude tolerance, travel style, and entry documentation to pick the right region and transport mode. The skill defaults to rail-first routing, layers scenic-train and lift timing, and flags customs, Schengen, and Sunday-closure risks. It stores ongoing trip context locally under ~/switzerland/ when the user requests continuity.

When to use it

Planning a 4–14 day Switzerland trip that must balance scenery and realistic transfers
Deciding whether to use rail, car, or a hybrid for remote valleys or low-frequency routes
Checking Schengen entry, customs limits, or border-shopping implications
Budgeting with true Swiss friction: resort taxes, lift tickets, reservations, and parking
Designing mountain days with weather contingency and safety notes

Best practices

Ask the travel month and altitude tolerance before recommending a primary region
Choose a single corridor or one base pair for short trips to avoid over-routing
Default to rail and boats; add a car only when they clearly improve access
Plan scenic-train days as full-day experiences and reserve seats where required
Include clear downgrade options for bad weather and mountain-access warnings

Example use cases

A 7-day June itinerary focused on Lucerne + Bernese Oberland with Jungfrau day planning and rail reservations
A winter ski-week plan that accounts for pass closures, avalanche control, and lift-ticket timing
A road-plus-rail loop in Ticino that justifies a car for lakeside villages while avoiding unnecessary urban driving
An arrival checklist covering Schengen entry, cash vs. card expectations, and Sunday shop closures
Budget breakdown for a family trip including resort taxes, luggage transfers, and child pricing on scenic trains

FAQ

Yes—local trip memory is saved under ~/switzerland/ only when you request ongoing planning; single-session advice does not create persistent memory.

Should I always take a car in the Alps?

No—rail plus local buses/boats usually outperforms cars for classic visitor routes; a car is recommended when visiting remote lakes, low-frequency villages, or complex border loops.
