When to go

Best Jun–Sep; good Jan–Mar, Dec.

Overview

A rail-led circuit of the Bernese Oberland and Valais, staying in lakeside and mountain-view properties throughout. Built around scenic trains rather than long coach days, with two full days held free for the weather.

Mountain excursions here are entirely weather-dependent, which is why two days are held free rather than filled. Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa, and the quote carries 5% GST plus tax collected at source — TCS on foreign tour packages explains how that second figure comes back to you at filing. The wider case for travelling Switzerland by rail rather than by road is set out on the Switzerland luxury tour packages page.

Highlights

  • First-class Swiss Travel Pass for the full journey
  • Glacier Express panoramic rail leg
  • Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe, by cog railway
  • Matterhorn views from Gornergrat at sunrise
  • Lake Lucerne cruise with an alpine lunch
  • Two flexible days built in for weather

Booking this trip

Yes. Dates, hotel tier, pace and the balance of guided versus free time can all be changed. Tell us what you would alter and we will re-cost the trip transparently, so you can see the effect of each change before committing.

Private departures run for your party only. Where a tour is offered as a group departure, the cap is stated on the itinerary and we do not exceed it.

A part payment confirms the booking, with the balance due before departure. Exact deposit amounts and cancellation deadlines vary by supplier and season, and are set out in writing on your quotation before you pay anything.

Not unless the itinerary explicitly says so. We can book them alongside the land arrangements if you prefer a single point of contact — just ask when you enquire.

A named contact and a 24/7 line. Delays, missed connections and hotel problems are handled by us directly with the supplier, so you are not negotiating in a second language at midnight.
