THE GRAND TOUR

Take in Switzerland’s top sights on this epic journey

BY CAR

For a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, embark on the Grand Tour of Switzerland. This spectacular 1,600km journey will take you through verdant meadows, dramatic mountain passes, pretty villages, and bustling cities. You’ll get to enjoy the best of what the country has to offer – all within nine days.

Rent a car to explore the sights at your own pace, staying overnight at some of the country’s best hotels along the way. Highlights include the historic Chillon Castle on Lake Geneva banks, the terraced vineyards of Lavaux, the iconic Matterhorn in Zermatt, and more.

If you’re more eco-minded, consider renting an electric vehicle and undertaking the E-grand Tour instead. There are approximately 300 charging stations along the route, which will sufficiently power you for the entire journey.

BY TRAIN, BUS, AND BOAT

Prefer travelling by public transport? On the 1,280km Grand Train Tour, which typically takes a minimum of eight days, you’ll explore Switzerland’s best attractions by rail instead. Sit back and enjoy some of the country’s most scenic train rides, such as the Glacier Express, which offers passengers magnificent views of the Swiss Alps. And as you only need a single ticket – the Swiss Travel Pass – you can hop on and off whenever you please.
