Illustration of Interlaken and the Jungfrau Express at Christmas

Great Rail Journeys offers an escorted Christmas celebration in Switzerland's Interlaken region, combining Alpine rail travel with festive mountain village experiences. The tour departs from Interlaken and takes in the Jungfrau Express, one of Europe's highest standard-gauge railways, which climbs into the Bernese Oberland toward the Jungfrau. Travellers also enjoy a winter wonderland carriage ride from Grindelwald and a visit to Mürren, a car-free Alpine resort accessible only by mountain railway. The December timing places the region in its winter season, with snow-covered landscapes and Christmas markets throughout the villages. This tour suits couples and repeat rail travellers seeking guided, immersive Alpine experiences during the holiday season, combined with the charm of Swiss mountain traditions.
