Today is New Year's Eve and we leave Brig today, travelling on the iconic Glacier Express - the 'slowest express train in the world' - in First Class. The panoramic windows allow us to look out over a veritable winter wonderland of crisp lakes and spectacular mountain passes as we enjoy a 2-course lunch on board. Our journey finishes in Chur, Switzerland's oldest town, and our base for the next 4 nights. We celebrate with a New Year's Eve Gala dinner at our hotel this evening.

Today we travel by train to Lucerne, an ancient lakeside city of cobbled streets and squares home to the famous Kapellbrücke Bridge. Separating Lucerne's Old and New Town, this is the oldest wooden bridge in Europe, built in the 14th century to help protect the city against attacks. You could also visit the Lion Monument. Designed in 1812 by Bertel Thorvaldsen, this impressive structure was carved out of natural rock to commemorate the death of Swiss soldiers during the French Revolution.

On Day 8 we enjoy a trip on the narrow-gauge Bernina Express that takes us from Chur to Poschiavo. This stunning railway truly takes in the best of the Swiss landscapes, from the rolling green meadows and soaring mountains, to the rushing streams and the lofty pine forests. Following some free time to explore Poschiavo, we continue to the Alpine resort of St Moritz. Later, we take the train back to Chur.

On Day 9 we leave Chur, heading to Paris via Basel where we continue to London and our holiday concludes.
