Itinerary
Arrive at Geneva airport and transfer to Montreux. Between the lake, mountains and vineyards, Montreux and Lake Geneva present a breathtaking landscape. The town is an authentic piece of paradise that has attracted many artists, authors and travelers on their search for beauty, peace and inspiration.
Visit “Chaplin’s World” which allows you to learn more about the life and work of Charlie Chaplin. Discover the manor house where he spent the last 25 years of his life and the 14-hectare garden with incredible views of Lake Geneva. After that, transfer to the vineyards of Lavaux where you can participate in a wine tasting at an enchanting vinery. Continue the journey to Lausanne where
you can find the combination of a dynamic business city and popular touristic resort due to its idyllic location. Overnight in Montreux.
Take an excursion to Glacier 3000. Go up with the cable car and enjoy an overwhelming view of 24 peaks over 4000 meters completely covered with snow. Your view reaches from the mountains Eiger,
Mönch and Jungfrau until Mount Cervino and the Mont-Blanc. Walk over the first hanging bridge that unites two different peaks or take a toboggan ride – adventure is guaranteed! Continue your journey to
Interlaken and the small but quaint village Mürren where you are 1650 meters over the valley of Lauterbrunnen, directly at the foot of Mount Schilthorn. Enjoy a calm night in the car free town of Mürren.
Having a spectacular view from an alpine peak is, without doubts, something essential
during your trip through Switzerland. Therefore, most of the tourists choose the famous Jungfraujoch but you will avoid those crowds today and go up to Piz Gloria (Schilthorn). The views over the mountains
Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau are breathtaking. At Piz Gloria, you can learn more about the world of James Bond in a small but exquisite museum. Various scenes from the film “007-On her Majesty’s Secret Service” were shot on top of this mountain. After having played James Bond, you will discover
the impressive Trümmelbach Falls. This is the place where the glacial water from the three famous mountains Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, meet.
Today, a boat tour on Lake Brienz awaits you. The lake is known for its turquoise water and its wonderful landscape. You will disembark at Brienz which is a town located in the very east of the lake. The quiet streets in the center of this lovely and very typical village invite you to go for a relaxing
walk. Visit the open-air museum Ballenberg which shows you the daily life of swiss countrymen and their traditional working places. After that, make your way to Engelberg. During this transfer you will pass one of the most famous lakes in Switzerland, the Lake Lucerne.
Engelberg is located in an extensive valley of mountains, 1000 meters above sea level. The benedictine monastery, which was built in 1120, still has a big influence on the life of the town’s citizens. Today, you will go up Mount Titlis with the first revolving cable car of the world. TITLIS Rotair will bring you directly to the eternal ice of the glacier. A mountainous panorama awaits you at 3000 meters above sea level, where you can find different restaurants with sundecks, a cave between the glacier and the amazing hanging bridge of Titlis Cliff Walk. Return to Engelberg and continue your trip. On the way to Bern, you
will pass Solothurn which is the most beautiful baroque city in Switzerland.
During your last day of the trip, you discover the secrets of the swiss capital. The old town of Bern is world heritage of the UNESCO and one of the only cities that was able to preserve its beauty and
historic character. Continue on to Geneva and your next destination.
