Railbookers Signature - Swiss Mountains Adventure

10-day Swiss mountain rail tour through Zermatt, Interlaken, Lucerne

Railbookers runs this 10-day, 9-night independent rail package as a round trip from Zurich into the Swiss mountains, with stops in Zermatt, Interlaken, and Lucerne. The trip spends three nights in Zermatt, with views of the Matterhorn from the Gornergrat and an excursion up to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, almost 4,000 meters above sea level. From there, the train continues to Interlaken, where the description highlights dinner with sunset views from the mountaintop Harder Kulm, before the route continues on to Lucerne and back to Zurich. As an independent package, travelers move between stops at their own pace rather than following a group schedule. This suits travelers who want dramatic Alpine scenery and are comfortable with some high-altitude sightseeing, given the trip's excursion above 3,900 meters.
