The Deal

Begin your tour in the picturesque lakeside city of Lausanne. Visit the renonwed Maison Cailler in the village of Broc where chocolate production has been raised to an art form. Next, on to hilltop Gruyere, home of Switzerland’s most famous cheese. After traveling along the shores of pristine Lake Geneva, arrive at Chillon Castle, a 13th century architectural jewel with its unending maze of courtyards, towers and halls filled with period furniture and priceless art.

Then, travel on a cogwheel train into the heart of the glitzy mountain resort of Zermatt, dominated by the famous pyramid-shaped Matterhorn. Board Europe’s highest open-air cogwheel railway, a technical masterpiece of 19th century engineering that made its maiden trip in 1898. From the summit of Gornergrat, view spectacular vistas of the Matterhorn, glaciers and Monte Rosa.

After departing Zermatt, the scenic journey begins from the Alpine town of Brig over the iconic Simplon Pass, with its staggering views of the Swiss and Italian Alps. Beyond the Pass, pause in the chic town of Stresa on Italy’s Lake Maggiore before continuing to Lugano in southern Switzerland’s Italian-speaking Ticino region. 

While in Lucerne, visit the inspirational Lion Monument and the 14th century medieval Chapel Bridge. Then, stop to view the covered Spreuer Bridge with its macabre paintings depicting the "Dance of Death." See the historic houses in the well-preserved medieval Old City.
