Switzerland Family Premium — with Zermatt tour package — 8N/9D itinerary, price and inclusions
A premium upgrade of the family Switzerland tour, adding two nights in car-free Zermatt to see the iconic Matterhorn up close. The Swiss Travel Pass (children under sixteen free with a parent) ties the trip together. From Interlaken you climb to Jungfraujoch, the Top of Europe; from Lucerne you ride the rotating cable car up Mt Titlis; and from Zermatt the Gornergrat cogwheel railway delivers a grandstand view of the Matterhorn and surrounding 4,000-metre peaks. Lake Lucerne cruising and the mighty Rhine Falls complete the picture, with five Indian dinners included. Honest note: high-mountain views hinge on the weather, so an overcast Matterhorn or Jungfraujoch is possible; the extra days add comfort and breathing room across eight nights in 4-star hotels. starting at INR 2,40,000 per person. Covers Zurich 1N, Interlaken 3N, Zermatt 2N, Lucerne 2N.
