Spectacular scenery accompanies us all the way as we travel by rail through the heart of the Swiss Alps on the world-famous Glacier Express and Bernina Express.
Explore charming and historic Swiss towns such as Zermatt and Chur and get up close to the mighty Matterhorn as we immerse ourselves in the rich culture and awe-inspiring natural beauty of Switzerland.
Experience the unspoilt, traditional Swiss village of Kandersteg, nestled in an incredible landscape of imposing mountains.

Itinerary
Meeting our companions at London St Pancras, the Eurostar awaits as we are whisked through the scenic French countryside to Paris, before heading east to Strasbourg. The compact but captivating historic centre of this Alsatian city is dotted with grand squares and picturesque narrow waterways. We head to a local restaurant for our first dinner together and enjoy the cuisine of the Alsace.
**Please note: For departures 11/05/2024 & 22/06/2024 these will be overnight in Mulhouse (not Strasbourg).

It was lovely a wonderful holiday. Spectacular scenery and places where I had never been to. The journeys were awesome and the hotels pretty good. Food mainly good. (Swiss food is not the best!) Tour manager did a great job.
