"For me, there is nothing like the scenery in the Swiss Alps. No two days are the same - even on the same route - as the weather is such an important factor. While clear blue skies and long uninterrupted views are great, moody skies add their own drama." - Rebecca Bruce, Travel Expert |
Mountain trails wind over the slopes of Switzerland’s only national park, with seemingly infinite skies overhead in summer. Keep an eye out for red deer, chamoix, ibex, and marmots. Visit in winter to explore pretty villages set within storybook scenery, or perhaps to take the train to St Moritz for some winter glamour.
Soak up the impressive mountain views from the panoramic carriages of the Glacier Express and enjoy easy walking trails in the shadow of the mighty Matterhorn. Or why not embark on our winter Glacier Express holiday, reaching new heights as you travel over the 2,044-metre Oberalp Pass with spectacular scenery on all sides?
