Suggested Programme
Arrival and dinner at your hotel.
Visit the lakeside town of Lucerne with its fascinating old town and historic monuments.
Lucerne ranks high amongst the world’s prettiest cities and has a great deal to offer, such as the world-famous Chapel Bridge and Water Tower, the Musegg Wall and the Lion Monument.
The town is best discovered on foot, so why not enhance the day with a city guide? To end the day we recommend a lake cruise.
Travel to Lauterbrunnen and join the longest cogwheel railway system in Switzerland, the Jungfrau Railways. Your journey takes you to the Kleine Scheidegg, at the foot of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains, the spectacular location of many mountaineering achievements and tragedies.
Depending on the time, we recommend a trip through the mountains by train to the Jungfrau ridge. Your journey then takes you on to the popular mountain village of Grindelwald where you can enjoy some free time.
Take a wonderful picture postcard train journey from Gstaad, over high mountain passes and through traditional Swiss mountain villages, to the lakeside town of Montreux.
The internationally renowned village of Gstaad has managed to keep its Alpine Charm and authentic traditions and is always worth a short stop. You then join the train to Montreaux, travelling through some of Switzerland’s most picturesque landscape, where you can enjoy some free time for a walk along the lakeside promenade.
We also suggest a trip to the lakeside resort of Brienz where you can enjoy a journey up the Rothorn with the spectacular Rothorn Train and coffee and cake at the summit.
Afterwards enjoy a wander round the village or along the lakeside, or a visit to the Ballenberg Open air Museum.
Depart for your trip home after breakfast.
