Peaks of Switzerland from Wengen

Alpine rail stay in Wengen with Swiss Flexi-Pass excursions

Illustration of Peaks of Switzerland from Wengen

Railbookers sells this trip as an independent rail vacation based for five nights in Wengen, a 'picture-postcard mountain village' in the Swiss Alps. The description has travelers riding the rails in, naming Basel as the starting point, though the destinations list gives Zurich, and settling into Wengen for what the operator calls 'five nights of relaxation and adventure.' An included Swiss Flexi-Pass covers excursions from there up to the summit of the Schilthorn, made famous in the 1969 James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and to Jungfrau, described as the tallest peak in all of Europe. Railbookers has not published a day-by-day schedule or hotel details for this package, so exact accommodations are not yet known. It suits travelers who want one alpine base rather than a multi-city itinerary.
