The Award Winning Leader in Escorted Worldwide Rail Holidays
Take in some of Switzerland's finest winter scenery. From the unspoilt town of Meiringen, we visit lakeside Lucerne, ride a carriage in the mountain village of Grindelwald, and take a trip to the 'Top of Europe' on the Jungfrau Railway.
We travel by Eurostar to Paris after meeting at our Departure Office in St Pancras. We continue to Strasbourg, where we overnight. On Day 2, enjoy a free morning to explore the Christmas Markets of Strasbourg before we travel via Basel and Interlaken to Meiringen. We stay at the Hotel Alpbach.
Today's excursion, on Christmas Eve, is to the historic lakeside city of Lucerne, one of Europe's most charming cities. We travel by mountain railway, over the dramatic Brüning Pass and alongside the emerald green waters of Lake Lucerne. Whilst here, you are at leisure to discover the picturesque city.
This morning we take a cable car ride to the Alpen Tower. Here, we are able to experience dramatic panoramic views of the surrounding peaks from a height of over 7,300 feet. This afternoon, you are at leisure to explore the town, which was so loved by the author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, that he let his famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, plunge to his death at the impressive Reichenbach Falls nearby. We also enjoy a special Christmas dinner at the hotel this evening.
Our excursion today is a highlight as we board the Jungfrau Railway to Jungfraujoch - Europe's highest railway station. The route from Interlaken takes us to Lauterbrunnen on the Bernese Oberland Railway. From Lauterbrunnen, the Wengeralp Railway runs to Kleine Scheidegg. The final section of the journey is on the famous Jungfrau Railway itself, which runs the remaining six miles to just below the peak of the Jungfrau Mountain. We are free at the summit to drink in the unique and incredible sights. On our descent, we stop to enjoy a horsedrawn sleigh ride in Grindelwald. We enjoy a day at leisure on Day 6.
We travel to Basel and on to Paris, where we join the Eurostar back to London. On arrival, our tour comes to an end.
