Here’s What Your Amazing Holiday Could Look Like...
Arguably one of the most iconic rail journeys in the world; travel past snow-capped mountains and rolling hills as you make your way from Zurich to Lucerne, stopping at some of Switzerland’s most scenic cities enroute. From the shimmering lakes of St Moritz to the waterfalls of Interlaken, make sure your camera is charged - there are incredible landscapes waiting for you around every corner. And that’s without mentioning the delicious cuisine you’ll be indulging in; think hunks of bread dipped in bubbling cheese fondue and melt-in-the-mouth chocolate. Remember, this itinerary is only a suggestion of what can be experienced in Switzerland. Just ask your Travel Expert to plan your perfect trip.
