Snow-capped mountain viewing
(4 )Hi good Swiss people,
We'll be visiting Switzerland for the very first time.
We are in our mid-fifties, don't intend to do any hiking or trail-blazing..but hope to view snow-capped mountains from a village or town or even city point.
Since we will be based in Zurich, can anyone let us know which nearby city (within 1-2 hours train travel from Zurich) we should go to for this activity?
Thanking you all in advance.
Regards all

SInce you will be staying in Zurich, you can see snow-capped mountains if you just go down to the lake (and look south). However, if you wanted a better view, you could take the boat down south to Rappersil (which would be a much closer view). I was also in Lucerne two weekends ago (along the river) and you had several views of snow-capped mountains from there. Interlaken (just under 2 hrs by train) also has great views of Juanfrau from right there in town.
Hello,
What I would recommend is to go to Lucerne. From there you can see the mountains covered by snow and also take a a round trip to Pilatus mountain:
Lucerne – Alpnachstad – Pilatus Kulm – Kriens – Lucerne.
You can check the tours on pilatus.ch.
I did this tour with my parents and they were very excited about this. You will not need to hike or anything there are cable cars and clog-wheels.
It is a really nice trip on a sunny day.
Have a great time,

Hello
I fully agree with the comments below. If you want one more options to set your feet into actual snow you could do a daytrip to Mount Titlis (Glacier). I believe there should be several bus tours from zurich or you could go by train.

Hi, you can watchbthe snow peaked mountains right from zurich. Wherever you are in the city just walk to the lake and the backdrop is if snow peaked mountains.
Enjoy
