Overview
Join me on a tour through the heart of Switzerland - all by public transport just like the locals. We ascend Europe’s first-ever cogwheel train to the majestic Queen of the Mountains, Mount Rigi. Breathe in the fresh air and take in breathtaking 360° views over glittering lakes, forested hills, and the snow-capped Alps. From the summit, we descend to the other side, where a scenic cruise awaits. Relax on deck as the boat glides across crystal-blue waters framed by dramatic mountain scenery. Our route then carries us through spectacular spiral tunnels, a masterpiece of Swiss engineering, into hidden valleys at the country’s heart. Next, we board another cogwheel mountain railway, climbing across the Alps through the Grand Canyon of Switzerland, where cliffs, gorges, and rushing rivers reveal nature’s raw beauty. As evening falls, we return aboard a restaurant wagon, where you can enjoy a meal or drink while the train carries us back - the perfect ending to a day of Swiss wonders.
