Diversity of Switzerland: Nature, Culture & Pleasure

Zermatt - Celerina/St.Moritz - Lugano - Lucerne

from CHF 2'179.00

per person in a double room with GA Travelcard

Bookable from 25 June - 16 October 2025. Not bookable from 4 July - 31 August 2025. We recommend that you avoid arriving on Monday, as the Gotthard Panorama Express only runs from Tuesday to Sunday.



From glaciers to palm trees, from mountains to lake beaches, from alpine chalet style to mediterranean dolce vita. Travel from the glaciers to the palm trees and experience scenic rail journeys in between on board of the top panoramic trains of Switzerland: Glacier Express, Bernina Express, Palm Express and Gotthard Panoramic Express. Along the route, immerse yourself in the alpine mountain culture of Zermatt and St. Moritz, and enjoy the dolce vita lifestyle on the Italian border at Lake Lugano, as well as in Central Switzerland at Lake Lucerne.

Day 1: Welcome to Zermatt, stopover in Berne


    • Start your Swiss adventure with the train journey to Zermatt - on the way there we recommend a visit to the Swiss capital Bern
    • Pick up at the railway station and check in at the BEAUSiTE Zermatt
    • Lean back in the hotel's infinity pool with a magnificent view of the Matterhorn
    • Overnight stay and multi-course dinner at The Grill restaurant in the BEAUSiTE Zermatt

    Day 2: Experience the Matterhorn Paradise


      • After breakfast, you will travel up to the Gornergrat - the excursion destination in Zermatt. The cogwheel railway takes you from the village at 1600 metres up to 3100 metres above sea level. The journey itself is a fantastic experience with a constant view of the Matterhorn. Once at the top, you can't get enough of the panorama - mountains and glaciers as far as the eye can see. It's worth taking the railway up to the Gornergrat first. At an altitude of 3100 metres, you have a magnificent view of twenty-nine 4000-metre peaks from the viewing platform.
      • For active nature lovers, we recommend a hike to Lake Riffelsee, where the summit of the Matterhorn is reflected in the water.
      • For animal lovers, we recommend an encounter with the black-nosed sheep: once the sheep have moved into the Gornergrat area, visitors have the opportunity to visit them in their natural habitat. Using GPS tracking, you can find the woolly sheep wherever they are on the mountain.
      • Overnight stay and fondue dinner at the ‘Witch'eese Fondue Hut’ restaurant run by BEAUSiTE Zermatt

      Day 3: Scenic train ride with the Glacier Express panoramic train


      • After breakfast you get on board of the Glacier Express train: Sit back and enjoy the view of babbling brooks, deep clear lakes, lush green mountain meadows, rock and ice - in the background the mountain peaks, some still powdered white. In the panorama car of the Glacier Express, you meander comfortably over ingenious engineering structures and through numerous tunnels, always in the midst of beautiful natural and cultural landscapes.
      • Enjoy a 3-course lunch during the journey.
      • Arrival at St. Moritz, pick up and transfer to the hotel Cresta Palace Celerina****S
      • In the evening, you can soak up the impressions in the cosy atmosphere of the hotel and enjoy a multi course dine around dinner – or choose your favourite restaurant: fine dining, asian or Italian cuisine. 

      Day 4: Excursion to Val Poschiavo with the Bernina Express


      • After breakfast, you will enjoy the breathtaking serpentines of Bernina Express:
      • The Bernina Express railroad line is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and runs from the Engadin via Val Poschiavo to Tirano in Italy. Your journey takes you until Poschiavo – Le Prese.  The Val Poschiavo used to be a rich smugglers' valley (there are some amazing historic villas here) - today it offers a magnificent natural spectacle and offers nearly 100% sustainably produced organic products throughout the valley: only products that come from the valley and have also been processed there can call themselves "100% Valposchiavo". And only these products are used in the kitchen of the restaurants.
        We suggest you to travel until Le Prese – why not have lunch at the terrasse of Hotel Restaurant Le Prese overlooking the lake? After lunch, we suggest to take an easy walk along the river Poschiavino for about 5 km (1h20Min) back to Poschiavo. Don’t miss to visit the valley museum Palazzo de Bassus Menotti & Casa Tomè.
      • Return journey to the Engadine by the yellow postbus
      • Enjoy your multi-course dinner at Hotel Cresta Palace again

      Day 5: From the glaciers to the palm trees at lake Lugano


      • After breakfast, the Palm Express takes you on an approximately four-hour journey from the glaciers in the Engadin to the palm trees on Lake Lugano. From St. Moritz, the route takes you over the Maloja Pass and through the Bergell valley to Chiavenna in Italy. Pass the deep blue lakes of Lago di Mezzola and Lago di Como and their cozy vacation villages and take the yellow bus directly to your accommodation, the Parco San Marco Lifestyle Beach Resort (bus stop in front of the hotel!). Enjoy the mediterranean feeling and relaxation under palm trees and on the beach of Lago di Lugano: rooms with lake view and private beach (only for hotel guests) included!
      • 4-course gourmet dinner with Italian flair at Ristorante Parco San Marco.

      Day 6: Dolce Vita at Lake Lugano


      Parco San Marco Lifestyle Beach Resort****

      Enjoy the unique resort on Lake Lugano - relax on the sunbathing lawn above the resort in a hammock or directly on the lake. Take a boat or bike trip to Porlezza or Lugano or go to Menaggio on Lake Como - it's easy to reach by regional bus. Stroll along the fashionable lakeside promenade and discover the historic old town. And that's not all: thanks to the public boat service, it is possible to reach other popular places on Lake Como (such as Bellagio and Varenna) in 15-30 minutes.

      For this evening, you are free to have dinner wherever you like: Be it on the lake of Como if you decide to make an excursion – or maybe at the resort in one of 4 different delicious restaurants. 

      Day 7: From Lugano to Lucerne with the Gotthard Panorama Express


      After breakfast at Hotel Parco San Marco, we have ordered you a taxi to bring you to Lugano where you will board the Gotthard Panorama Express.

      Say goodbye to the palm trees and the varied mediterranean landscape. The train continues along the world-famous and historic Gotthard route. Crossing the Gotthard Tunnel which opened in 1882, you will hear exciting stories about the unique Gotthard region. You will see the church at Wassen three times, which has achieved world fame thanks to the bold railroad layout with its many helical tunnels. And on goes your journey through the mighty Reuss Valley in Uri to Flüelen, where you will change to the historic, more than 100 years old steam boat on Lake Lucerne. You will cruise the lake and will see the monumental central Swiss mountains Pilatus and Rigi, the Rütli (the "birthplace" of Switzerland, where the Swiss Confederation was sealed in 1291 with the Rütli Oath), the Tells Platte, where, according to legend and the story by Friedrich Schiller, the Swiss national hero jumped to freedom from the ship of the tyrant, the Habsburg bailiff Gessler.
