Diverse Switzerland<br />
Uniquely diverse and<br />
worth every moment<br />
Despite being one of the smaller countries in the world in terms of area,<br />
Switzerland is almost unrivalled when it comes to scenic, linguistic and<br />
cultural variety. Home to shimmering lakes, lush valleys and dramatic<br />
mountain peaks. This is a land full of contrasts from the southern flair of<br />
Ticino to the mediaeval towns and vibrant metropolises of Northern and<br />
Western Switzerland via the glistening glaciers of Graubünden; each region<br />
contributes something special to the overall Swiss experience.<br />
Such an abundance of attractions in such a small space invites you to much<br />
more than a simple trip to Switzerland. At Switzerland Travel Centre, over<br />
130 experts support you in your individual <strong>travel</strong> and excursion planning –<br />
both on and offline. Moreover, with our range of products, we ensure that<br />
you can discover the diversity of Switzerland in all its facets. For more<br />
unforgettable experiences, visit our website switzerland<strong>travel</strong>centre.com.<br />

Glacier Express<br />
Discover Switzerland on the spectacular Glacier Express,<br />
the slowest express train in the world.<br />
A timeless fairytale<br />
journey<br />
“It may sound surprising that an express<br />
train takes 8 hours to cover 290 kilometres,<br />
but that is exactly what makes <strong>travel</strong>ling<br />
on the Glacier Express on this legendary<br />
route such a special adventure.<br />
The diversity of the route is impressive:<br />
snow-capped peaks, crystal-clear lakes,<br />
flowering meadows, forests and rushing<br />
streams. Enormous differences in altitude<br />
are overcome on a journey through 91<br />
tunnels and over 291 bridges to finally<br />
reach the Oberalp Pass at 2,046 metres<br />
above sea level. Time becomes irrelevant,<br />
as you enjoy local Swiss delicacies served<br />
directly to your seat accompanied by<br />
breathtaking views through the large<br />
panoramic windows.<br />
One of my personal highlights is the<br />
journey through the Rhine Gorge, which is<br />
up to 400 metres deep and where flowing<br />
water and bizarre rock formations create<br />
a stunning natural spectacle. The Rhine<br />
Gorge is not called the “Swiss Grand<br />
Canyon” for nothing!”<br />

Bernina Express<br />
Travel in spectacular fashion from Switzerland across the<br />
border to Italy on the highest railway in the Alps.<br />
One of the most<br />
spectacular railway<br />
journeys<br />
“Switzerland is known for its many<br />
panoramic trains and unique railway lines<br />
but one experience in particular stands<br />
out for me: the Bernina Express. From<br />
Chur to Tirano, the red panoramic train<br />
winds its way over numerous viaducts –<br />
including the world-famous Landwasser<br />
Viaduct – along the Albula line up to St.<br />
Moritz. It continues on the Bernina line,<br />
past the horseshoe bend Montebello Curve<br />
and the Lago Bianco Reservoir down into<br />
Poschiavo. The Albula/Bernina railway<br />
line has been designated a UNESCO World<br />
Heritage Site since 2008 and is still the<br />
only railway line in Switzerland to have<br />
received this accolade.<br />
The biggest highlight for me is the short<br />
stop at Alp Grüm Station. This small<br />
village, at an altitude of 2,091 metres,<br />
can only be reached by train and offers<br />
breathtaking views of Val Poschiavo and<br />
the Palü Glacier.”<br />

Express<br />
Experience a unique combination of boat and<br />

From Lucerne to Lugano<br />

“A unique experience, combining <strong>travel</strong><br />
by boat and train from Central Switzerland<br />
to Ticino.<br />
The Gotthard Panorama Express is<br />
arguably the most varied of the Swiss<br />
panoramic routes, offering two cities, two<br />
lakes, two linguistic regions and<br />
two modes of transport.<br />
While away the hours relaxing on the<br />
glistening waters of Lake Lucerne before<br />
gliding past Mount Rigi – Queen of the<br />
Mountains – and Rütli Meadow, the<br />
birthplace of Switzerland as a country.<br />
Board a panoramic train in Flüelen to<br />
<strong>travel</strong> through mountainous landscapes<br />
via the Gotthard Panorama route with<br />
its impressive helical looping tunnels<br />
and imposing bridges. A multilingual<br />
tour guide will share route descriptions<br />
and information alongside mesmerising<br />
presentations on the history and<br />
construction of the Gotthard Tunnel,<br />
which opened in 1882.<br />
Enjoy the Mediterranean flair of the Ticino<br />
region upon arrival in Lugano.”<br />

CUSTOMISE YOUR HOLIDAY<br />
The packages shown in this brochure<br />
can be changed and amended any time<br />
upon your requirements. In most cases<br />
the from price is shown in a 3* hotel and<br />
2nd class rail journey if not mentioned<br />
otherwise. We offer a flexible approach to<br />
our holidays. Simply book the suggested<br />
itinerary as described or customise it with<br />
our suggestions. You can find a variety of<br />
options for upgrades, extension nights,<br />
excursions and activities. If you can’t find<br />
exactly what you want, contact us and<br />
one of our specialists will tailor-make the<br />
best <strong>travel</strong> option for you. All prices will<br />
be confirmed and guaranteed at the time<br />
of booking.<br />
ROOM CHECK-IN & CHECK-OUT<br />
Check-in times are usually between 2pm<br />
and 3pm whilst check-out can be from<br />
11am to 12pm on the day of departure.<br />
If you have a later flight the hotel will in<br />
most cases agree to hold your luggage<br />
for a few hours after check-out. A later<br />
check-out or use of a day room (at<br />
additional charge) may also be an option<br />
and can be arranged locally.<br />
DRIVING IN SWITZERLAND<br />
The roads in Switzerland are well<br />
developed and easily accessible. A<br />
motorway vignette is required when driving<br />
your own car in Switzerland. An E-Vignette<br />
can be purchased in advance on the<br />
website of the Federal Office for Customs<br />
and Border Security (FOCBS). Car Rental<br />
companies based in Switzerland include<br />
vignettes in their rental prices. If you are<br />
taking a rental car into Switzerland from<br />
France, Germany, Italy or Austria you will<br />
have to buy a vignette at the border. Expect<br />
queues in high season.<br />

Prices for hotels, trains and other land<br />
services can change constantly. This makes<br />
fixed price grids increasingly complex and<br />
not always accurate. This is the reason we<br />
now show “from” prices in our brochure,<br />
which will provide you with a good<br />
guideline for the selected package. The<br />
“from” price is available for a specific <strong>travel</strong><br />
period mentioned clearly in the grey box<br />
“Inclusions”. Please note that our pricing<br />
excludes flights which can be added by our<br />
flight experts to your package. All prices<br />
are subject to exchange rate fluctuations<br />
and can change without prior notice.<br />
FLIGHTS<br />
We offer flights from all major airports in<br />
the UK to Switzerland with a wide range<br />
of airlines. Prices for air <strong>travel</strong> fluctuate<br />
depending on airline, availability and<br />
departure airport. Our in-house flight<br />
experts will be happy to offer advice and<br />
to book the most convenient flight for<br />
your trip. Your flights will be protected<br />
under our ATOL licence. We will charge £ 35<br />
per person for this flight booking service.<br />
Please note that flights, once booked and<br />
confirmed, cannot be refunded.<br />
ACCOMMODATION<br />
Accommodation in all hotels, whatever<br />
the rating, is usually in a standard twinbedded<br />
room, unless otherwise stated.<br />
Please take note that most hotel rooms<br />
in Switzerland are equipped with a ‘Swiss<br />
twin’ (one frame/single mattresses/ two<br />
duvet covers). Also, many double / twin<br />
rooms only take a maximum of one extra<br />
bed for children.<br />
SINGLE ROOM<br />
Although supplements are payable for<br />
single accommodation, it should be noted<br />
that the standard size and location of<br />
single rooms are not always as good as a<br />
twin/double room (even if the twin/double<br />
room is booked for single occupancy).<br />
GUEST CARDS<br />
Some cities and towns in Switzerland<br />
provide guest cards for local transport and<br />
other discounts to guests staying overnight<br />
at a hotel. This can be a very convenient<br />
and cost-effective way of exploring a local<br />
area on public transport. Guest Cards are<br />
always issued by the hotel.<br />
INTERNATIONAL RAIL<br />
All our packages can also be combined<br />
with train <strong>travel</strong> by Eurostar from the UK<br />
via Paris or Brussels to Switzerland and<br />
from neighbouring countries Germany,<br />
France, Italy and Austria into Switzerland.<br />
We offer Interrail and Eurail tickets as well<br />
as point-to-point tickets on DB, Trenitalia,<br />
TGV Lyria services, SNCF, Italo / NTV and<br />
many more.<br />
