Short answers to the questions you ask before a day in the mountains: which summit, which village, what to wear, the train from Milan and the waterfalls of the Lauterbrunnen valley. Choosing a Swiss Alps day tour? The fares sit side by side there.
Start with the first post if you cannot decide between the summits, and the last if you would rather keep your feet in the valley. Each post links the tours it talks about, so you can go from reading to booking without hunting. The longer planning pieces are in the guides.

By rail
