10 days from £1700.00 per person

This exploration of Switzerland’s spectacular alpine scenery begins with a night in Lyon before embarking on your journey to Briga small, historic town situated at the foot of the Simplon Pass and your destination for the next three nights at the 3* Stadthotel Simplon.  The journey from Brig to Chur, on the famous Glacier Express, ascends steadily through pastures and woodland, before climbing its way towards the Oberalp Pass, the highest point of the route at 6,670ft and descending to Chur along the young river Rhine. You spend three nights in Chur at the 3* Romantik Hotel Stern.  An included excursion from Chur takes you over the spectacular Bernina Line, through wooded valleys and across bleak mountain passes into Italy. This holiday includes a Swiss Pass, giving unlimited travel on most trains, buses and lake steamers during your stay in Switzerland and providing endless opportunities to explore this beautiful region. A picturesque journey past the vineyards and fairytale castles of the Rhine Gorge, followed by a night in Cologne brings this wonderful holiday to a close.
