Grand Tour of Switzerland Explorer – Panoramic

11-day guided Swiss tour combining a chauffeured coach with four panoramic trains

Switzerland Travel Centre runs this 11-day guided group tour from Zurich to Lucerne, traveling by chauffeured Mercedes Benz Sprinter with an English-speaking driver and digital support throughout the trip. The days move at a quick pace, with one-night stops in St. Gallen, St. Moritz, Lugano, and Montreux, two nights in Zermatt, and two nights in Lenk, before finishing in Lucerne. Four panoramic train rides break up the coach travel: the Bernina Express over the Bernina Pass to Lugano, the Glacier Express from Andermatt to Zermatt, the Gornergrat cog railway for views of the Matterhorn, and the GoldenPass Express from Lake Geneva at Montreux toward Interlaken and Lenk. Along the way the group visits St. Gallen's UNESCO Abbey Library and tastes wine at the Domaine Bovy near Montreux. This suits travelers who want Switzerland's scenic trains included inside a fully guided, driven itinerary rather than planning their own rail connections.
