The Mont Blanc, Gruyere cheese and Geneva’s Jet d’eau
On this tour you will get to see some well-known Alpine destinations as well as visit picturesque mountain villages and taste some traditional Swiss cheese.
Suggested Programme
Arrival and dinner at your hotel.
Travel to Geneva where on arrival you will be met by your city guide for a tour through the historic and picturesque heart of Geneva’s Old Town. Discover the Cathedral, the Town Hall and the hidden lanes and flower-filled squares of this impulsive city.
We also suggest a lake cruise on the biggest lake in Switzerland, Lake Geneva. Nestled amidst the Alps, this is a true inland sea where you can relax and watch the magnificent landscapes glide by.
From the rolling hillsides of La Cúte to the climbing vineyards of Lavaux, from the steep cliffs of the French Chablais to the luminous banks of Haute-Savoie, the fleet of the Compagnie Gènèrale de Navigation is at your disposal.
Visit the town of Martigny where you can join the Montblanc Express for a journey through spectacular scenery to the giddy heights of Chamonix.
In Chamonix you will encounter majestic mountain peaks, lush green forests, wonderful wooden chalets and the Magnificent Mont Blanc Glacier.
Relax and enjoy lunch or coffee and cake while absorbing the mountaineering history of this famous village.
Discover the city of Fribourg and the cheese village of Gruyers. Nestled in the heart of Switzerland, Fribourg has something for everyone, the medieval splendour of its historic old town, the buzz of the modern-day city, a dynamic student community, a thriving and diverse arts scene and a breath-taking landscape.
Take some time to explore the city on your own before traveling on to the wellknown medieval town of Gruyeres, situated at the foot of the Alps. Let yourself be enchanted by the charm and picturesque architecture of this medieval town, which has given its name to the area and to its delicious cheese.
Explore the little town that has been unaffected by the passage of time, built in a superb setting. Visit Gruyeres Castle, or the Gruyeres dairy or the HR Giger Museum.
Depart for your trip home after breakfast.
