If you’re looking for a scenic walking tour of Switzerland that includes Zürich, Lake Lucerne, and the best of the Swiss Alps, look no further! From the moment you meet your expert leaders in Zürich, you’ll be immersed in the alpine spirit—enjoying an enchanting boat ride on Lake Lucerne, then traveling by train, gondola, and cog rail past the famous peaks of Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger. Hike along rugged mountain ridges, stopping to appreciate sparkling waterfalls and fields of edelweiss and gentian—and perhaps spotting the hardy alpine chamois and whistling marmots that forage among these rocky slopes. Discover the tradition of Swiss alpine cheese-making as you hike the famous “Cheese Trail” and stop for a tasting at a local farm. In the evenings, relax and enjoy warm Swiss hospitality in traditional settings—where mouth-watering farm-to-table fare, luxurious spas and saunas, and the cheerful chorus of alphorns form the capstone of this epic walking adventure.
Tour Highlights
- Ease into the luxuries of a plush resort in Grindelwald, where local culinary specialties and a spa and sauna immerse you in the alpine culture.
- Lose yourself to the lilting strains of the alphorn, the alps’ traditional long wooden horn, during an exclusive concert in your hotel’s garden.
- Take in staggering vistas of soaring massifs during invigorating hikes, including the most famous trio in Bernese Oberland: the Jungfrau, Mönch, and Eiger.
- Feast on farm-to-table alpine fare, from warm fondues and perfectly aged cheeses to locally produced wines and brews.
- Arrive in charming Lucerne by boat, then stroll to your hotel, after a breathtakingly scenic cruise across the mountain-ringed namesake lake.
This tour is a new offering for Country Walkers. The itinerary offers just the right amount of hiking and other activities in the stunning surroundings of the Swiss Alps. The guides were very personable, fun and knowledgeable. The accommodations were excellent boutique hotels close to transportation hubs and attractions. The included meal were all first class.
