Day 5: Zurich to Wengen (via Lucerne)

It is not a long ride from Zurich and Lucerne's Old Town is rated every year among the most beautiful towns in the world, featuring a colorful old town and 14th-century city walls, as well as covered bridges including the iconic Kapellbrücke with its 17th-century art.

Stroll around before you we will invite you on a boat cruise on Lake Lucerne.  Those who are interested in the history of Switzerland might want to hop off and hike part of the Switzerland trail or visit the meadow where the legendary oath of Rüttli was taken and therefore a confederation of the first three cantons was formed. 

We'll stop by at the beautiful Aare gorge before we get deep into the Swiss Alps.

Day 6: Wengen

This area has so much to offer: Head up the famous Jungfraujoch, or one of the many other mountains offering fantastic panoramas, visit the valley of the 72 waterfalls and enjoy one of the many hiking trails in the area. You might want to take a walk on the Männlichen, the small servant of the royal three mountains: Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau. The notorious Eiger North Face was long time considered to be the last alpine challenge. A walk on the Mänlichen will let you dive into the tragic and heroic stories of this wall.

Day 7: Wengen: Day Excursion to Zermatt

The train journey takes us towards Spiez, Interlaken and then the 14km long railway Loetschberg into the canton of Valais. You will have the chance to discover Zermatt on the foot of Switzerland's natural landmark - the Matterhorn. 

The Gornergrat train travels through picturesque Alpine landscapes, passing through forests, and meadows, with several stops along the way to admire the views. The journey takes around 30 minutes and the train reaches an altitude of 3,089 meters (10,134 feet) at the summit station.

Day 9: Wengen→ Montreux

Continuing your ride along the Bernese Oberland the language will change from German to French. 

Today your guide combines food and hiking/walking - we get ourselves a prepacked fondue rucksack and hike/walk to one of the giant fondue pots (seating areas) to enjoy your delicious fondue. The area of Gstaad and Zweisimmen is known for its cheese delicacies.

Today a magnificent train ride is awaiting you - the Golden Pass. Personally, this is my favorite train line, even though it is short compared to the Glacier Express. Making its way up the steep mountain ridge you shouldn't miss a single moment! These tracks are also the only way crossing the nature parc of Gruyère - cars have to make a detour for hours to experience what you can do, stressless in one of the baroque wagons of the Golden Pass.
