There is so much to see in this beautiful region.

Scenic rail holidays - a wonderful way to see Switzerland

Enjoy a fantastic two or multi centre holiday, with a scenic rail journey connecting your resorts. We highly recommend the Luzern-Interlaken Express - which joins up with the GoldenPass Express to take you through to Montreux - and the Gotthard Panorama Express down to the Ticino resorts. The Pre-Alpine Express also travels through the region.

If you prefer to base yourself in one resort, there are many scenic journeys to be enjoyed locally. We can tailor make any itinerary you choose, please contact us for details on 0800 619 1200.

Walking in the region

The famous Swiss Trail is particularly recommended for lakeside walking. The path stretches 35km around Lake Uri from the Rütli Meadow to Brunnen and takes in several historical landmarks, for this is the birthplace of the Swiss Confederation. You can choose to walk the entire stretch, or use the excellent boat, bus and mountain railway connecting services - click here for more details.

The mountains also offer a wealth of walking opportunities with beautiful views and paths to suit both serious hikers and those who prefer more gentle walks. Take your choice from Mount Rigi, the Stanserhorn, Mount Pilatus and Mount Titlis.
