Excursions
and visits
Lucerne (included), Pilatusbahn and
Cable Car (optional).
With its lakeside
setting and historic sights, Lucerne is truly
charming. Walk along the old town wall,
across the 14th-century Chapel Bridge –
originally part of the town’s fortifications –
and admire the roof paintings depicting
historical scenes. The Pilatusbahn is the
world’s steepest cog railway and has been
in operation since 1889. It climbs Mount
Pilatus at a 48% gradient, rising 6791 feet
above sea level. The original passenger
steam cars had an average speed of
2-3mph; today, the electric cars run at
6mph and reach the top in just 30
minutes. Take in the views before
returning by cable car.
Interlaken and Grindelwald
(optional).
A scenic drive over the Brunig
Pass takes us to the ancient village of
Brienz, on the banks of Lake Brienz.
Several of the town’s houses and hotels
were built in the 1600s, while the local
church dates back to the 12th century.
We continue to Interlaken, impressively
situated between Lake Brienz and Lake
Thun. You’ll have time to explore before
we visit the glacier village of Grindelwald.
Have your camera ready to capture the
view of the famous Eiger Mountain.
Swiss Glacier Express (included).
We leave Meiringen and
en route to St. Anton we join the famous Swiss Glacier Express
train from Andermatt to Chur. Riding the ‘slowest express
train in the world’, we climb through unforgettable scenery
to the summit of the Oberalp Massif. Panoramic windows allow
for breathtaking views as we pass through quaint mountain
towns and see the mighty Rhine River as a mountain stream.
Innsbruck and Vipiteno (optional,
included on Silver Service).
Innsbruck is
the only major city in the Alps. It offers a
unique combination of culture and history
set against the spectacular backdrop of the
mountains. See the famous Golden Roof,
the Hofburg Palace and Maria Theresien
Street. Afterwards, we cross the Brenner
Pass into Italy to spend some time in the
shopping haven of Vipiteno.
Lech (optional).
Enjoy a half-day excursion
to one of Austria’s premier winter ski resorts, the picturesque
alpine village of Lech.
