ITINERARY

Day 1 Our door-to-door service picks you up from your home and takes you to meet your tour coach. We make our way to Folkestone for a morning Shuttle to Calais. Once in France, we travel south to Troyes and our overnight hotel. Suitable refreshment stops will be made along the way.

Day 2 After breakfast we travel south towards Dijon and on to the shores of Lake Lausanne to Montreux. We enter the Bernese Oberland travelling via Sion to the historic town of Brig which is situated at the foot of the Simplon Pass.

Day 3 A day out by coach and train to the car-free mountain village of Zermatt. Nestled in a green valley between steeply scarped mountains, and dominated by the magnificent Matterhorn, Zermatt is reached by a short train journey from Tasch. Once in the village, you may like to take a ride in a horse drawn carriage or take the Gornergrat Mountain Railway for more dramatic scenery and views of the Matterhorn (fares not included).

Day 4 Today we board the Glacier Express – possibly the slowest express in the world! We board our panoramic first class carriages in Brig and the train climbs through Betten, Grengiols and Oberwald and through the Furka Tunnel. We then pass through Andermatt before beginning our ascent toward the Oberalp Pass, the highest point on the line at 6,670ft. Descending, we pass through Disentis and Chur. We continue through loop tunnels, coils, bridges and viaducts through unparalleled mountain views before we finally reach Davos. Our coach will be waiting to transfer us to our hotel for a four night stay. If you would like to book a meal on the Glacier Express, please inform us when booking (not included).

Day 5 A free day to enjoy at leisure in Davos, a resort famous for its healthy atmosphere and clear mountain air. You may like to spend time in the spa at our hotel, take a horse and cart ride around the town, or take advantage of the many cable cars which begin in Davos.

Day 6 A full day’s excursion via the Fluela Pass and the Engadine National Park via Zernez. From Zernez we follow the River Inn to St Moritz where we have plenty of time to explore this elegant town. For those of you who would like to take the cable car, your driver/ courier will be able to arrange a trip to the Silvaplana Glacier (fare not included). The return journey to Davos will be via Tiefencastel.
