subterranean waterfalls, and so much more. With half board accommodation and all

Day 1: London – Basel
We journey aboard Eurostar to Paris and
continue by TGV to Strasbourg, where we take
the train to Basel for our overnight stay. This
beautiful Swiss city lies on the banks of the
Rhine river, at the point where the countries of
Switzerland, France and Germany meet.
Day 2: Basel to Mürren
Travelling by rail and cableway, we reach the
car-free mountain village of Mürren which is
our base for the next six nights. The views here
are spectacular, stretching out across a deep
valley to the famous rock faces and glaciers of
the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, with the mighty
Schilthorn towering above.
Day 3 & 4: Mürren
Enjoy plenty of free time in Mürren, starting
with our included village tour. Mürren lies on a
terrace 1,650 metres above the Lauterbrunnen
valley, making it the highest continually inhabited
village in the region. You can enjoy magnificent
views at almost every turn and the absence of
traffic makes it all the more peaceful. If you want
to explore further afield, there are around 200
Mürren
kilometres of walking trails which branch out
from the village and are well signposted, taking
you up or down the valley with several trains
and lifts to help. On one evening we also enjoy a
cheese tasting buffet.
Day 5: Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe
We travel to Kleine Scheidegg for an included
journey on the Jungfrau Railway, which tunnels
through the mountains of the Eiger and along
the slope of the Mönch to deliver you to the
Jungfraujoch – Top of Europe. At 3,454 metres,
this is Europe’s highest altitude railway station
where you can enjoy breathtaking views. There
are two stops along the way for you to marvel at
the mountainous world before reaching the top,
where there are further viewing platforms on the
Aletsch glacier or in the Ice Palace.
Day 6: Trümmelbach Falls
The Lauterbrunnen valley is often called the valley
of 72 waterfalls, one of which we visit today
– the Trümmelbach Falls. These are the largest
subterranean waterfalls in Europe and the only
glacier waterfalls in the world that are accessible
underground by lift, galleries, tunnels, paths and
platforms. It’s a spectacular place to visit.
Day 7: Schilthorn & Allmendhubel
Today’s excursion takes you by cable car to the
summit of the Schilthorn, where you can enjoy
amazing 360° views of more than 200 mountains,
including the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau – on a
clear day you may even catch a glimpse of Mont
Blanc. Schilthorn achieved world fame when
scenes for the James Bond film On Her Majesty’s
Secret Service were shot here, featuring the
revolving restaurant Piz Gloria. We visit the
restaurant for an exclusive James Bond breakfast,
before taking the funicular to Allmendhubel – a
mountain which overlooks our resort of Mürren.
Day 8: Mürren – London
We check out of our hotel after breakfast and
retrace our route to Paris, where we join Eurostar
for the return to London.
