About This Tour

Trade the city for the mountains on this five-hour rail journey into the Bernese Oberland, one of Switzerland’s most scenic regions. From Interlaken’s grand lakeside hotels to the waterfall-lined cliffs of Lauterbrunnen, this tour reveals the landscapes that inspired countless postcards, seen through the eyes of an expat rather than a typical group tour script. Tour departs from Bern.
