Today takes you to nearby Interlaken, an attractive town set between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun, surrounded by the crisp peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains. A historic town at heart, Interlaken's compact size means its medieval monastery, castle and ancient town hall square are delightful to discover on foot.

As the train winds its way up the mountain, the scenery is absolutely stunning, with lush green forests, sparkling alpine lakes, and snow-capped peaks that stretch up towards the sky. You'll have loads of opportunities to take photos and soak in the sights and, at the top, you can explore the area and enjoy the beautiful panoramic view.

On departures from April - July: Explore the popular town of Lucerne, not far from Wilderswil. Stroll through the charming old town, surrounded by stunning medieval architecture, including the famous Chapel Bridge and the Water Tower, both of which date back to the 14th century. The streets are lined with colourful flowers and quaint shops, making it the perfect place to wander and take in the sights and sounds of the city.
