Itinerary Details

Day 1: Arrival in Switzerland – The Charm of Lucerne Awaits

Your Swiss adventure begins as you arrive in Zurich or Geneva and board a comfortable, scenic train to the storybook city of Lucerne. Nestled between the crystal-clear waters of Lake Lucerne and the snowcapped Alps, Lucerne sets the perfect tone for the days ahead. After check-in at a stylish 4-star hotel, enjoy your first taste of Swiss leisure—perhaps strolling the medieval Old Town, visiting the iconic Chapel Bridge, or dining by the water as the sun sets behind the mountains.

Hotel: Continental Park Hotel (4 Star Rating)

This modern hotel is the place to be for individual travellers and seminar guests. The hotel believes that excellent hospitality is achieved when performance and attention to detail go hand-in hand. It is conveniently located in the centre of Lucerne city, surrounded by quite side roads, opposite to the main train station and beside Vogeligarten park.

After a hearty breakfast, embark on a thrilling journey to the summit of Mount Pilatus. Ascend by cogwheel railway—the steepest of its kind in the world—or glide up by gondola, surrounded by dramatic alpine peaks. At the top, take in breathtaking 360° views of Lake Lucerne and the sprawling Swiss Alps. Relax with lunch at one of the summit restaurants, or sip hot chocolate as you soak in the serenity. Return to Lucerne by afternoon for time to shop for Swiss watches, visit the stunning Lion Monument, or unwind lakeside.

Start the day with a peaceful cruise across Lake Lucerne’s shimmering waters to Vitznau, where you’ll board Europe’s first cogwheel railway to ascend the legendary Mount Rigi.

After enjoying lunch or a relaxed stroll, descend to Arth-Goldau and return to Lucerne by rail. The evening is yours—perhaps take a lakeside sunset walk or enjoy dinner in a traditional Swiss restaurant.

Explore the Ice Palace, take in panoramic views, and enjoy lunch above the clouds. Descend back to Grindelwald and return to Interlaken in the late afternoon.

Meal(s): Breakfast

After a relaxed morning, choose between two scenic lake cruises—Lake Thun, known for its medieval castles and turquoise waters, or Lake Brienz, surrounded by steep cliffs and waterfall-draped forests.
