Your holiday starts at London St Pancras International, where you meet your Tour Manager at our Departure Office. Travel to Paris, before continuing by high-speed train to Strasbourg or Mulhouse for the night. Tonight, enjoy dinner in a local restaurant.

On Day 2, make the most of a free morning before boarding your train for the journey to Wilderswil, in the heart of the Swiss Alps.

Today's excursion is to nearby Interlaken, an attractive town and arguably the hub of the region. Set between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun and surrounded by the crisp peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains, this scenic town is a delight to explore. The town's history can be traced back to a monastery which was established here in the 12th century. If you want to stretch your legs, there are plenty of Alpine walks that start here. Otherwise, join the Harder Funicular Railway to the top of Harder Kulm, 4,337 feet above sea level (payable locally). Crowned by its castle-like restaurant, admire the magnificent landscape of the beautiful Bernese Oberland. There is even a glazed bridge to maximise views of the lakes below.

• Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

You take the Schynige Platte Railway to the summit of Schynige Platte, travelling in restored 19th-century carriages, hauled by a vintage electric locomotive, to the summit, 6,463 feet above sea level. The railway is noted for using historic locomotives and carriages, creating a nostalgic feel. Enjoy amazing panoramas from your seat; along this stretch of line there is a sweeping view of Lake Thun and the towns and villages clustered around it, with mountains rising away from the water's edge. Eventually, the train reaches the peak of the Schynige Platte, characterised by its superb vistas. With free time here, visit the Botanical Alpine Garden, where brightly coloured plants fill the air with their sweet scents. Otherwise, you may prefer to relax on the panoramic terrace, drinking in views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

Please note: the Schynige Platte Railway does not start operating until late May. Customers booked on departures before this date will instead travel to Lucerne.

• Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Spend a relaxed day in Wilderswil. Enjoy the surrounding scenery and snowdusted mountains, unwind in a café, or use your Swiss Travel Card to visit the surrounding towns and villages. Perhaps visit Mürren or make the scenic journey over the Brünig Pass to Lucerne, whose 13th-century Chapel Bridge and frescoadorned Old Town are a pleasure to explore.

• Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Travel on the Bernese Oberland Railway today, via Lauterbrunnen, to Kleine Scheidegg. Here, join the Jungfrau Railway for the sensational journey to Europe's highest railway station. Tunnelling through the North Face of the Eiger, the tracks emerge on the slopes of the Mönch, below dramatic glaciers, before climbing to just below the summit of the Jungfrau, at 11,333 feet. Admire the dramatic snowcovered mountain peaks and take in the fascinating ice carvings and sculptures on display inside the glacier's caves.

• Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

After taking the train to Interlaken, enjoy a cruise on Lake Brienz. The remarkable colour of the pure Alpine waters are the perfect contrast to the green slopes of the mountains which border this enormous lake. From the boat, enjoy a different view of the quaint towns and villages that dot the shores.

On Day 8, take the train to Geneva and board the high-speed service to Paris, where you join the Eurostar to London St Pancras.
