Swiss Magic
& The Glacier Express - Holiday Itinerary
Day 1:
UK to N. France To Northern
France for dinner and an overnight stay. (D)
Day 7:
Täsch to Därligen We descend to Lake Geneva and classy
Montreux, where we enjoy time at leisure to
browse the shops. An optional journey on the
GoldenPass Panoramic train is available as part
of our journey to the peaceful village of
Därligen on the shores of Lake Thun, where we
spend four nights at the Hotel du Lac (3*).
Situated only five kilometres from well-known
Interlaken, Därligen is a quiet village surrounded
by mountain peaks and our hotel enjoys a
desirable location right on the lakeside near a
boat landing, with its own outdoor swimming
pool. (B,D)
Day 2: N. France to Kehl Kork We travel through Belgium
and into Luxembourg, then on to Kehl Kork in Germany for our
overnight stay at the Hotel Zum Hirsch (3*). (B,D)
Day 8: Lucerne An included excursion travelling
through the Emmental valley to the popular resort of Lucerne,
situated on the lake of the same name. The town itself is
a fascinating blend of medieval towers, cobbled squares and
glorious lakeside promenades. (B,D)
Day 3: Kehl Kork to Savognin After breakfast
our journey continues through the Black Forest with a stop
at the famous Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen and on to Switzerland.
We head into the Alps to Savognin near St Moritz for a two
night stay at the Hotel Cresta (3*), which is well located
in this typical Swiss village. Rooms are well-equipped and
the hotel boasts a restaurant, pizzeria, an indoor swimming
pool, sauna and steam bath for your relaxation. Savognin is
situated in the beautiful Surses Valley, known for its mild
climate. (B,D)
Day 9: Därligen Today we
offer a free transfer to nearby Interlaken which is set, as
its name implies, between two glittering lakes. The main promenade
the ‘Höheweg’ is lined with huge open meadows,
shops, tea rooms and attractive cafés. An optional
excursion on the Jungfrau railway up to the Jungfraujoch is
also available, a truly magnificent journey through spectacular
scenery to the ‘Top of Europe’. (B,D)
Day 4: Savognin Perhaps you’ll treat
yourself to a great train ride today - our optional excursion
includes a visit to elegant St Moritz and a ride on the Bernina
Express. The Bernina Express takes you high into the Alps
through wild gorges, across soaring bridges and close to stunning
glaciers. (B,D)
Day 10: Därligen Our included excursion
today takes us around the two lakes lying to either side of
Interlaken - Lake Thun and Lake Brienz with a visit to the
famous village of Brienz, the centre of Swiss woodcarving,
with an opportunity to watch skilled craftsmen at work. (B,D)
Day 5: Täsch and The Glacier Express Certainly a highlight of
the holiday today! Our coach will journey on without us as
we depart on the famous Glacier Express, probably the world’s
slowest ‘express’ train. We travel across the
Alps over the Oberalp Pass at 6,700 ft, then down through
the Furkha tunnel and through the picturesque hamlets along
the upper Rhône valley before reaching the mountain
village of Täsch for a two night stay at the Best Western
Alpenhotel (3*). (B,D)
Day 11: Därligen to N. France Leaving the lakeside behind
we travel to the capital city of Berne, with time to explore
or take an optional guided city tour around the lovely Old
Town. We then continue our journey north through the Champagne
region to Northern France for our final night. (B,D)
Dy 6: Täsch We take the short journey
by train to the stylish mountain resort of Zermatt, overlooked
by the impressive Matterhorn. This picture book village is
beautifully maintained in traditional style and is traffic
free with only horse drawn carriages and electric cars permitted.
We recommend an optional trip on the Gornergrat cog railway
for truly spectacular views.(B,D)
Day 12: N. France to Home After breakfast we take
the ferry from Calais to Dover and then home. (B)
