Reasons to book

RIDE THE GLACIER EXPRESS

After a short train journey to Chur in eastern Switzerland, you’ll join the Glacier Express for an unforgettable day. Known as the ‘slowest express train in the world’, it’s been in operation since 1930, although it now has modern carriages with panoramic windows for stunning views.

YOUR CHARMING HOTEL

Interlaken is an alpine resort town with an antique feel. The Carlton-europe, one of the many timber-clad buildings that line the streets, will be your base. With vintage interiors, an on-site spa and a restaurant serving classic Swiss dishes, it will give you a sense of life in the Alps.

LAKE THUN CRUISE

Day four will include an afternoon cruise on Lake Thun, which is surrounded by mountain villages, historic churches and the 12th-century Thun Castle.

EXPLORE BERN

The morning of your final full day will be spent exploring the Swiss capital, Bern, where the carefully preserved Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
