Make the most of a free morning to explore beautiful Strasbourg. 'La Petite France' is a wonderful location for a stroll. This historic quarter of Strasbourg is divided by the River Ill and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988, largely due to its abundance of half-timbered buildings.

In the afternoon, you continue by rail to Switzerland, passing scenery which increases in beauty as snowy mountains begin to encircle the route. Serene Lake Thun shimmers as you pass Spiez and its fairytale lakeside castle, before you arrive in the pretty alpine village of Wilderswill. Occupying an idyllic spot on the Lütschine river at the heart of the Jungfrau region, Wilderswil is a scenic base from which to enjoy your explorations.

Day 3 - The Jungfrau Express

Enjoy one of your holiday's highlights today, a return journey to the 'Top of Europe', Jungfraujoch. The first leg of your spectacular rail adventure takes you on the Bernese Oberland Railway, joining the Jungfrau Express at Kleine Scheidegg. Climbing steeply through a tunnel deep inside the Eiger and the Mönch mountains, you emerge just below the summit of the Jungfrau. At more than 11,000 feet, Jungfraujoch is the highest railway station in the continent.

There's some free time here to bask in spellbinding snow-globe views from the Sphinx observatory including vistas of endless mountain peaks and the immense Aletsch Glacier, the largest glacier in the Alps. You could also head to Lindt Swiss Chocolate Heaven for an insight into the history and making of Swiss chocolate. The Alpine Sensation exhibition is also well worth a visit. Step onto a moving walkway and back in time, as enchanting projected images and music tell of the history of tourism in the Alps and pay tribute to the miners who built the Jungfrau Railway more than 100 years ago.

  • Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4 - Interlaken

The capital of the beautiful Bernese Oberland, Interlaken, is one of the most popular towns in the Swiss Alps and, after visiting today, it will be easy to see why. Its scenery showcases all the hallmarks of a picture-postcard Swiss location, with snow-capped peaks, rolling hillsides, rugged rocky outcrops and pristine glaciers. The region provides a year-round playground for climbers, walkers, and skiers.

Interlaken is set in the very heart of this captivating landscape, wedged between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun and surrounded by three peaks: the Jungfrau, Eiger and Mönch. Because of its location, Interlaken is a great starting point for any adventure in the Bernese Oberland.

The village itself has an abundance of Swiss charm and is surrounded by open skiing fields in winter. You can explore the area at your own pace before returning to Wilderswil for dinner.
