Jungfrau and The Matterhorn: Swiss Mountain Peaks from Basel

6-day Swiss rail trip from Basel to Jungfrau and the Matterhorn

Railbookers runs this six-day, five-night independent rail trip through the Swiss Alps, starting in Basel and finishing in Geneva. After arriving in Basel, travelers take a high-speed train to Interlaken for two nights, with a day trip up Jungfrau Mountain included for mountain views. From Interlaken, a scenic train continues to Zermatt for two more nights, where the Gornergrat railway carries travelers up for views of the Matterhorn. Because it is an independent package, there is no guide managing the group; travelers make their own way between the four stops, with Railbookers arranging the trains and stays. Railbookers also markets it as working well for a pre or post cruise excursion. Prices start from $3,149 USD.
