A premium, rail-focused Switzerland itinerary built around two of the world's great scenic-train routes, with first-class Swiss Travel Pass coverage throughout. Over eight days you arrive in Zurich, spend two nights in chic St Moritz, two in car-free Zermatt beneath the Matterhorn, then a night each in Interlaken and Lucerne. The signature experiences are a seat-reserved ride on the Glacier Express between Zermatt and St Moritz, the high-mountain Bernina Express, the Gornergrat cog-wheel train above Zermatt, and the Jungfraujoch from Interlaken. Hotels are 4-star and four dinners are included alongside daily breakfast. With more time on panoramic trains than on buses, it is aimed at travellers who want comfort and the country's most celebrated rail journeys rather than a rushed sightseeing dash.
