Grand GoldenPass and Mountain Peaks

Nine-day Swiss rail circuit from Zurich via the GoldenPass train to Grindelwald

Railbookers offers this nine-day, eight-night independent rail vacation through Switzerland, starting and ending in Zurich. After an overnight stay in Zurich, the trip continues to Lausanne for a night, then visits Glacier3000, described in the package as high in the Alps, before riding the GoldenPass train on to Grindelwald. Travelers then spend three days in Grindelwald, before the route continues on to Lucerne and back to Zurich. As an independent package, there is no tour leader guiding each day, so travelers plan their own time in each town. The mix of a scenic train ride, a high-altitude excursion, and several unhurried days based in one alpine town suits travelers who want mountain scenery without a fast-moving group schedule.
