Your journey on the “slowest express in the world” climbs through unforgettable scenery to the summit of the Oberalp Massif. Enjoy time also in Andermatt before returning by coach to our hotel.

A day out with fantastic scenic views en route as you climb the San Bernardino Pass, then join the motorway through the Italian-speaking district of Switzerland, the Ticino area, to the border town of Lugano, set beside the blue waters of Lake Lugano.

Please Note: The 23rd June, 15th September and 6th October departures will have a small itinerary change. On day 4, the optional lake cruise will now run from Meersburg to Bregenz, rather than Bregenz to Meersberg due to changes in the local seasonal cruise times.
