Overview

About this package

Eight days crossing the full spine of the Alps by rail and cable car — from the glassy shoreline of Lake Geneva to the glacier ice of the Jungfraujoch and the vertiginous Matterhorn views of Zermatt. Ride the Golden Pass panoramic line, cross ninety-one tunnels aboard the Glacier Express, and end in the medieval charm of Lucerne. This is Switzerland distilled into its most cinematic week.
