Experience nature's beauty by scenic train and cable car!
Ride in first class panoramic carriages and enjoy private boat rides across spectacular lakes and alps
Soaring mountain peaks, lakeside retreats and cable car adventures interspersed by arguably the finest Swiss rail journeys and hospitality! From the Art Nouveau style of Château Monfort in the heart of Milan, we journey north, to the shores of Lake Lugano. Nestled within a private, subtropical park, two nights at Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola provides the perfect retreat to explore. Our rail journeys are first-class and the Bernina Express takes us into Saint Moritz where we reside at the 5-star Kulm Hotel. A 3-night stay at Tschuggen Grand Hotel allows us to explore the Arosa region by cable car before the famed Glacier Express whisks us to The Chedi, Andermatt, altitude 1,444m! Our journey continues with a relaxed 3-night stay at Lakeside Luzern before a final night in the heart of Zurich.
