The Best of Switzerland from Zurich

Independent 12-day Swiss rail loop starting and ending in Zurich

Railbookers runs The Best of Switzerland from Zurich as an independent rail package, so travelers set their own pace rather than following an escorted group. The trip covers 12 days and 11 nights, starting and ending in Zurich and moving through Lucerne, Interlaken, and 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, an excursion to the Top of Europe, and three train journeys the operator describes as among the best in the world. It suits travelers who want a full round trip through Switzerland's best-known alpine scenery and rail routes, beginning and ending at the same airport city, without joining an escorted tour. Prices start from $4,749 per person.
