Swiss Alpine Dream

Self-guided 15-day Swiss rail circuit on named panoramic trains

Swiss Alpine Dream is a 15-day self-guided rail trip operated by Interrailing Packages (Eurailing Packages Ltd) that runs from Zurich to Geneva, stopping in Interlaken, Brig, St Moritz, Lugano, Lucerne, and Bern. You travel independently between the eight destinations by train, at your own pace, with several of Switzerland's named trains included: the Glacier Express from Brig to St Moritz, the Bernina Express from St Moritz into Italy, the Gotthard Panorama Express over the Gotthard Pass with a steamship stretch on Lake Lucerne, the Interlaken Express, and the Jungfraujoch cogwheel railway, which climbs to 3,454 metres. Two nights each in Zurich and Geneva and three in Interlaken alternate with single-night stops in Brig, Lugano, and Lucerne, giving the middle of the trip a faster pace. Interrailing Packages supplies a personalised trip-planning app and 24/7 emergency support, and accommodation ranges from a shared hostel dorm to a 3-4 star hotel. This package suits independent travellers drawn to alpine scenery and named scenic trains rather than a guided itinerary.

What to know before you look closer

Accommodation is tiered from a shared hostel dorm up to a 3-4 star hotel double or twin room, and the specific hotel is confirmed only after booking.
Three stops, Brig, Lugano, and Lucerne, are single-night stays, giving the middle of the trip a faster pace than the two-to-three night stays in Zurich, Interlaken, St Moritz, Bern, and Geneva.
A solo hotel room costs GBP 3,045, about GBP 800 more than the GBP 2,245 per-person rate for two people sharing a hotel double or twin.
