SWITZERLAND: Martinez residents Thomas and Jill Doolittle traveled to Switzerland last fall, a return to one of Thomas’ favorite places some 14 years after their first trip. From Zurich, Geneva was a quick flight, he says. “We commandeered a car rental, then drove to Mount Blanc in Chamonix at the French border, then on to Zermatt, where the Matterhorn impressed us with its snowy magnificence. I was expecting bare rock that time of year.” Other stops included Interlaken and St. Moritz.
TRAVEL TIPS: The Doolittles traveled in late September and early October and found Switzerland’s compact size easy to navigate. “We feel the fall was the best time for us — and maybe other would-be travelers — to consider… We never drove more than three to four hours between destinations and would recommend three to four days at each location.”
