Grand Swiss Mountain Peaks from Zurich

Independent 8-day rail trip to four Swiss mountain peaks from Zurich

Illustration of Grand Swiss Mountain Peaks from Zurich

Railbookers sells Grand Swiss Mountain Peaks from Zurich as an independent rail package, meaning travelers make their own way by train rather than joining an escorted group. The trip runs 8 days and 7 nights, starting in Zurich and built around scenic train rides to four Swiss mountain peaks. It opens with a direct train from Zurich to Lucerne and a day trip to Mount Pilatus on what is described as the steepest cogwheel railway in the world. From there the trip continues by train to the resort town of Wengen, at the foot of the Jungfrau, for a day trip on the Jungfrau Railway. The route then continues on to Zermatt. Railbookers' listing does not spell out every stop in detail, so confirm the exact hotels and remaining days with them directly.

What to know before you look closer

  • Railbookers does not publish a day-by-day itinerary for this package here; confirm the exact schedule, hotels and connecting trains with them before booking.
  • The description available to us cuts off mid-sentence right after introducing the Jungfrau Railway day trip; confirm the remaining Zermatt stop and full itinerary directly with Railbookers.
