Grand Swiss Lakes

Rail circle around Switzerland's lakes from Geneva to Lugano

Illustration of Grand Swiss Lakes

Grand Swiss Lakes is a 10-day, 9-night independent rail package from Railbookers built around Switzerland's famed lakes. The route begins with an overnight stay in Geneva, then continues by rail to the French-Swiss town of Lausanne, where travelers can take a paddle steamboat to Chillon. From there, the train continues to Interlaken, set beneath the mountain backdrops of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau, followed by a scenic cruise on the glacier-fed Lake Brienz, before continuing to Lucerne and on to Lugano. Because it is independent rather than escorted, Railbookers arranges the trains and hotels while travelers explore each stop at their own pace. The trip suits travelers drawn to Switzerland's mountain and lake scenery. Prices start from $3299.
