            Can I easily get from Wengen Switzerland to Milan Malpensa Airport?

            Jump to last reply Flag this topic

            We usually get a car on vacation, but I hear Switzerland is easy to traverse by train. If we fly into Geneva and take a train to Wengen, or Murren for about 4 days, could I easily get to Milan Malpensa airport (MXP) to pick up a rental car for the rest of our trip?

            I am sorry to post this instead of doing my own research but I am at work and I have to make a decision between two sets of held airline tickets ASAP and I don’t know what to do. Hubby wants car, end of story, but maybe it is not the right choice for the whole trip this time?

            Scenario 1 - Fly into Milan, get car, 4 days Italian Lakes, 4 days Switzerland (Wengen or Murren- leave car in a lot in Lauterbrunn?), 5 days Bologna, 1 night transit back to Milan via Siena (or nearby town).

            Scenario 2 – Fly into Geneva, train to Wengen or Murren, somehow get to MXP, continue on - 4 days Italian Lakes, 5 days Bologna, 1 night transit back to Milan via Siena (or nearby town).

            We originally thought of flying into Geneva, get the car, and then flying out of Bologna, but the one way fees appear to double the cost of the rental. We decided to get and return the car at MXP.

            Can anyone help me figure out how to easily get from Wengen or Murren to MXP? Would we be missing out of great scenery by not driving ourselves?
