Package details include

Lakeside cafe in SwitzerlandJagged peaks and shimmering lakes are only two of the thrills you’ll experience on this independent rail journey that takes you to dizzying heights. Summer travelers will discover idyllic green valleys, clear mountain streams and quaint villages, while winter travelers get to join Europeans, jetsetters and the native Swiss as they hit the slopes for some of the best skiing anywhere. No matter when you go, breathtaking Alpine scenery will greet you at every turn.

With the train as your primary transport, you'll navigate easily between cities, traversing some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world. Hotel stays, train travel and a sightseeing tour in each city are all prearranged but the rest is up to you. English-speaking hosts in Zurich, Zermatt and Lucerne will be glad to offer advice on excursions, dining and entertainment.

Matterhorn and valley in Swiss AlpsBegin in Zurich, Switzerland's financial capital. Explore its medieval Old Town and lakefront setting before taking the train to glamorous St. Moritz, a legendary haven for the rich and famous set in a stunningly romantic setting of forest, lake and mountains. Here you'll board the Glacier Express which follows the Rhine River before ascending to Zermatt. The train's oversized windows let you view castles along the river with the mighty Alps as a backdrop. The mountain village of Zermatt is set in a valley near the foot of the mesmerizing Matterhorn and features picturesque chalets, medieval twisting alleys (no cars are allowed), and spectacular scenery. End your journey in the charming lakeside city of Lucerne, a shopping mecca that still manages to epitomize the storybook image of a Swiss village.
