Journey highlights
The moments that make this journey unforgettable — the signature experiences we have woven through every day, so the best of the destination is never left to chance.
- Three bases only, each with two or three nights, so the trip never feels like a checklist
- Lake-view stays where the hotel allows it, and rooms chosen for the two of you rather than for a group
- A private boat afternoon on Lake Lucerne, and Mount Pilatus by the world's steepest cogwheel railway
- Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe, and the quieter Harder Kulm terrace above Interlaken for sunset
- Two nights in Zermatt, with the Matterhorn from the Gornergrat and a candlelit dinner in the village
- Panoramic trains between every base, with seats reserved on the scenic sections
- A honeymoon touch at each hotel arranged in advance, and one surprise we keep to ourselves
- Hand-picked hotels and private airport transfers throughout
Day-by-day itinerary
Met at Zurich Airport and driven straight to Lucerne, with nothing planned for the rest of the day but the lakefront and dinner. If you arrive early, the Chapel Bridge and the old town are a ten-minute walk from most hotels. Overnight in Lucerne. · Lucerne · Private transfer
The classic circuit: a boat along the lake to Alpnachstad, the steepest cogwheel railway in the world up to Pilatus Kulm, and the cable cars down the other side to Kriens. The summit terraces look across the whole of central Switzerland; take the short ridge walk if the weather is clear. Evening free in Lucerne. Overnight in Lucerne. · Lucerne · Boat, cogwheel railway & cable car
A slow morning, then the two-hour panoramic train over the Brünig Pass and along the turquoise length of Lake Brienz. Check in, and take the Harder Kulm funicular up above the town for sunset over both lakes with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau lined up behind. Overnight in Interlaken. · Interlaken · Luzern–Interlaken Express
The high point of the trip, literally: through the Eiger by rack railway to Jungfraujoch at 3,454 metres, with the Aletsch Glacier below the Sphinx terrace and snow underfoot at the plateau. Go up one valley and down the other. Back in Interlaken by late afternoon. Overnight in Interlaken. · Interlaken · Cogwheel railway
No timetable. A boat to the Giessbach Falls on Lake Brienz, a picnic in the Lauterbrunnen valley below the waterfalls, or a couples' spa afternoon at the hotel — your specialist will suggest a few options and book whichever you choose. Dinner in the village of Wilderswil or in Interlaken itself. Overnight in Interlaken. · Interlaken
South through the Lötschberg tunnel to Visp and up the Matter valley on the narrow-gauge line to Zermatt, where there are no cars and an electric taxi takes you the last few hundred metres. The Matterhorn stands at the head of the valley; the evening is for the village and a candlelit dinner we book in advance. Overnight in Zermatt. · Zermatt · Train via Spiez and Visp
The Gornergrat railway to 3,089 metres, with the Matterhorn across the valley the whole way up and a ring of glaciers at the top. Walk down one stage of the line to Riffelberg or Riffelsee for the reflection of the mountain in the lake, then a slow afternoon in the village. Overnight in Zermatt. · Zermatt · Cogwheel railway
The train down the valley and along the Rhône to Zurich Airport, or a private car from Täsch if you would rather not change — about three and a half hours either way — for your flight home. · Zermatt · Train & private transfer
