• Description

    This journey includes the train ride on one of the most scenic routes through Switzerland on board of the Glacier Express. And also, you get the chance to discover historic Lucerne, glamorous St. Moritz, charming Zermatt and the gateway to Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau – Interlaken.

    Lucerne, the gateway to central Switzerland, sited on Lake Lucerne, is embedded within an impressive mountainous panorama.

    St. Moritz is more than just a holiday resort. It was also the birthplace of Alpine winter tourism (in 1864) and has twice hosted the Winter Olympics. Nevertheless, St. Moritz first became famous thanks to its mineral springs, which were discovered 3,000 years ago and established the town as a summer spa resort early on.

    Zermatt lies at the foot of the Matterhorn. The vacation destination is a car-free zone, has preserved its original character and offers nearly unlimited possibilities as far as excursions are concerned.

    Free 1st class rail ticket upgrade during April & May.
