Description
This private day combines one of Switzerland’s most scenic train journeys with the freedom of your own vehicle.
After about 45 minutes in Lucerne, your driver-guide sees you onto the panoramic train to Interlaken, which runs past clear lakes, alpine villages, waterfalls and mountain peaks. Meanwhile your driver goes ahead by road and meets you on arrival.
With your vehicle waiting in Interlaken, you can continue to places such as Lauterbrunnen, stop for photos or a coffee, and return by road to your starting point without further train connections.
