Agents’ Superstar Switzerland tour
A TEAM of 10 agents have just returned from a week-long winter famil to Switzerland as part 2018’s Swiss Travel Pass SuperStar Program, a joint initiative between the Swiss Travel System, Switzerland Tourism and Rail Europe. The famil saw the group sample the country’s transportation system of trains, cable cars, boats and buses while taking in the beauty of the alpine land.
Highlights included dining at the world’s first vegetarian restaurant, Haus Hiltl, a fondue dinner and Christmas light show at the Illuminarium Fondue Palace, visiting the Johann Wanner Christmas House & taking in some fine art at the Kunstmuseum.
The group were also immersed in Switzerland’s largest Christmas market in Basel, ascended Mount Pilatus & explored Lucerne, embarked on the Luzern – Interlaken Express; visited Jungfraujoch, Top of Europe and jumped on the GoldenPass Line to Montreux and explored the city’s Christmas market.
Agents also discovered Hinterdorf, the oldest part of Zermatt village; rode up to Gornergrat and Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, and checked out the brand new Glacier Express Excellence Class before journeying to Brig on the Glacier Express.
The group met up with other agents from around the world for an international gala night in Zermatt.
