Jungfrau and The Matterhorn: Swiss Mountain Peaks from Zurich

Independent Swiss rail package from Zurich to Interlaken, Zermatt and Geneva

Railbookers operates this 6-day, 5-night independent rail package across Switzerland, starting in Zurich and ending in Geneva. Rather than following a group leader, travelers make their own way by train between three base cities. The trip opens with two nights in Interlaken, an Alpine town that serves as the base for a day trip to the top of Jungfrau Mountain. From there, a scenic train ride leads to Zermatt for two more nights, where the Gornergrat railway carries travelers up for views of the Matterhorn. The trip ends with a night in Geneva, on the shore of Lake Geneva. It suits travelers who want a self-guided introduction to Switzerland's mountain rail routes without a fixed schedule set by a tour manager.
