Glacier Express Christmas Magic
Join us this holiday season on the journey of a lifetime as we glide through the heart of the snowy Swiss Alps on the world’s slowest express train, the Glacier Express. Lose yourself in the magical festivities and enjoy a Christmas like no other, taking in the wintery scenery aboard a Lake Thun cruise and the breathtaking views of the Alps on Europe’s first-ever cogwheel railway to the top of Mount Rigi. The popular sites are popular for a reason – they’re stunningly beautiful, and are truly worth the visit. Whilst spending the holiday season in this wonderful land, enjoy traditional Swiss dishes, including their Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners. We have plenty of time to enjoy the local celebrations along with several additional excursions, complementing our Glacier Express journey. Relax in the beautiful resort of Interlaken, with a special horse-drawn carriage trip along the famous Höhematte, on this incredible festive tour you’ll never forget!
