Swiss Lakes and Mountains from Zurich

Independent 8-day Swiss rail trip from Zurich to Montreux

Railbookers sells Swiss Lakes and Mountains from Zurich as an independent rail package, meaning travelers make their own way by train rather than joining an escorted group. The trip runs 8 days and 7 nights, opening with a night in Zurich and, according to the evidence available to us, finishing in the lakeside town of Montreux. Along the way it includes a day trip on the Bernina Express and, from Interlaken, a day trip up to the Jungfraujoch, the high railway station on the Jungfrau Mountain. Railbookers also lists Chur and Geneva among the destinations, though the description does not explain exactly where each fits into the order of stops. This trip suits travelers who want two scenic rail excursions built into a wider Swiss rail journey, arranged independently rather than on a fixed guided schedule. Confirm the full order of stops with Railbookers before booking.
