BEAUTIFUL SWITZERLAND BY RAIL

Switzerland is dramatic mountain scapes, idyllic villages and formidable natural beauty. Made up of 26 different cantons (administrative regions) and speaking four official languages, the country is a stunning landlocked nation sandwiched between three European giants: France, Italy and Germany. Its cities exude class, with clean streets and historic architecture at every turn, while its small towns are so picturesque they resemble photographs. 

Switzerland’s scenic rail journeys are a highlight of our tours, including the iconic Glacier Express, Bernina Express, GoldenPass Line and the Gotthard Panorama Express.
