Tour · 7 nights · with Travelsphere
A seven-night escorted tour by Travelsphere that follows Switzerland’s scenic railways and mountain vistas, from Zurich to Geneva, including the Bernina and Glacier Express trains and a chance to relax in Interlaken and Lausanne.
Highlights
Bernina Express railway journey across 55 tunnels and 196 bridges
Glacier Express panoramic train from Davos to Brig
Trümmelbach Falls inside a mountain
Schilthorn summit with revolving restaurant Piz Gloria
Lake Thun cruise and visit to Spiez Castle
Travelsphere’s escorted tour, The Best of Switzerland, takes in some of the country’s most celebrated railway journeys and alpine sights over eight days. After arriving in Zurich, travellers begin with the Bernina Express, a railway route that threads through more tunnels and bridges than you might count comfortably and crosses into Italy at Tirano.
Journeys
Next is the Glacier Express, known for its panoramic views across changing landscapes en route to Brig before settling into Interlaken. A day at leisure here can be spent wandering the resort or taking an optional trip high to Jungfraujoch, Europe’s highest railway station, with its 3,454-metre outlook over glaciers and peaks.
Further highlights include the thunderous Trümmelbach Falls hidden inside a mountain, the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn’s 2,970-metre summit familiar to James Bond fans, and a cruise on Lake Thun. The final days in Lausanne offer free time with a transport card and an optional trip to Glacier 3000, including the Peak Walk suspension bridge between mountain peaks. The tour ends with a transfer to Geneva for the flight home.
