GRAND TRAIN TOUR OF SWITZERLAND – GLACIERS & PALM TREES

This tour delivers on its promises: Starting from temperate regions, the train climbs to more than 2,000 metres altitude. First, imposing glaciers take turns with sparkling mountain lakes in front of the ceiling-high windows. Shortly afterwards, the train winds its way down to Italy, from where guests can continue to Lugano by bus. Palm trees, vineyards and mild temperatures dominate this stretch. Perfect for immersing yourself in a little “dolce vita” before tackling the historic Gotthard Line back towards Zurich the following day.
