The Best of Switzerland

Independent 10-day Swiss rail vacation across the Alps' best-known routes

Railbookers runs The Best of Switzerland as an independent rail package, so travelers set their own pace rather than following an escorted group. The trip covers 10 days and 9 nights, starting after arrival and moving through Lucerne, Interlaken, and Jungfraujoch before reaching the resort towns of Montreux, Zermatt, and St Moritz. Along the way it includes mountain views in the Bernese Oberland and the Pennine Alps, a ride on the rotating cable car up Mount Titlis, and three train journeys the operator describes as among the best in the world. It suits travelers who want to experience Switzerland's signature alpine scenery and its most famous rail routes without joining an escorted tour. Prices start from $3,399 per person.
