Overview

Soaring peaks, sweeping valleys, glittering lakes and flower-strewn meadows. Switzerland is basically nature’s catwalk. A scenic powerhouse sprinkled with stylish cities, medieval towns and cities and some of the most scenic train journeys in the world. Here trains, such as the iconic Glacier Express, run like clockwork as they meander through the alpine scenery.

Holidays to Switzerland by train really capture the romance of rail. Experience slow, immersive travel that’ll have you glued to your window seat. Plus our collection of Swiss rail holidays from the UK are just the ticket for anyone looking for no flight holidays. Set off by train from London St Pancras and journey through France to reach to Switzerland where your adventure truly unfolds.

Our specialists can adapt our Swiss rail holiday packages seamlessly blending breathtaking train journeys with boat trips, cable car rides, city exploration and the odd mountain hike.

I love talking about experiences that go beyond the ordinary, from one explorer to another.
