The Award Winning Leader in Escorted Worldwide Rail Tours
The stunning Bernese Oberland is one of the most beautiful regions in the Swiss Alps. The scenery encompasses everything you would expect to see in Switzerland - snow-capped mountain peaks, fresh mountain air, rolling hillsides, jagged rocks and awesome glaciers. The entire region provides a year-round playground for walkers, climbers, hikers and skiers, combining towering mountains with picturesque lakes and endless forests. Set in the heart of the Bernese Oberland is the captivating capital of the region - Interlaken. The charming city is wedged between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz and is surrounded by the majestic triple peaks of the Jungfrau, the Eiger and the Mönch mountains.
Interlaken is an excellent starting point for adventures into the Bernese Oberland and provides an excellent 'base camp' for a comprehensive exploration of the surrounding Alps - over 45 mountain railways, cable cars, chair lifts and ski lifts lead to 200 kilometres of groomed ski pistes and a dense network of hiking trails. Excursion ships, including historic paddle steamers, ply the waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.

Can’t fault the tour operator. A magical tour with many new experiences.
Simply the best adventure we’ve had - amazing places , amazing railways, and brilliant organisation
A very nice tour with great excursions in generally good weather. It was over rather too quickly and our goodbyes at the end were rather rushed,due to onward travel times.
We thoroughly enjoyed this first tour with your tour company. We were very happy with all hotels and transport arrangements. We were very disappointed that the Glacier Express was unable to operate due to an avalanche but alternative plans were quickly and effectively put in place.
