Tour Overview

Imagine... staying in a delightful old wooden chalet style hotel in the beautiful Bernese Oberland. Experience special train rides through the magnificent mountains and lakes to Montreux, Luzern and medieval Bern. All around you jagged mountains soar to impossible heights whilst you relax and enjoy real Swiss hospitality, bubbling cheese fondues, mulled wine, snow covered peaks and much, much more!

Unlike all our other European Christmas and New Year tours in this is not an escorted tour. It doesn’t need to be. It has been specifically designed with individual flexibility in mind and includes travel on the incredibly reliable and comprehensive Swiss Rail system.

We offer you the choice of staying in either of two superb hotels - the Hotel Alpenblick in the village of Wilderswil or the Hotel Oberland in the village of Lauterbrunnen. Both are good 3 star hotels.
