Excursions & Visits
Davos and Klosters (optional. Morning visit to Davos, which is often home to members of the Royal Family during the winter ski period. Europe’s highest town is also a delight during the summer, being surrounded on all sides by idyllic countryside. In teh afternoon, we visit the neighbouring town of Klosters, again a winter favourite with the Royal Family.
Bregenz and Lake Constance (optional). Close to the borders of Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, Bregenz nestles on the shore of Lake Constance, the second largest freshwater lake in Europe. Don’t miss the fine lakeside promenade and St. Martin’s Tower.
Swiss Glacier Express (optional). A day out to remember as we board the world-famous Swiss Glacier Express mid-morning from Davos Station via Chur to Andermatt. Your journey on the "slowest express train in the world" climbs through unforgettable scenery to the summit of the Oberlap Massif. Enjoy time also in Andermatt before returning to our hotel.
In order to guarantee your place on the train, this trip must be purchased at the time of booking at a cost of £68 per person.
Ticino and Lugano (included). Enjoy fantastic scenic views as we climb the San Bernardino Pass, then join the motorway through the Italian-speaking district of Switzerland, the Ticino area, to Lugano, set beside the blue waters of Lake Lugano. Enjoy the ‘chic’ of the town’s piazzas and promenades, and perhaps take a meal by the lakeside or try a funicular ride up Monte Bre for spectacular views over the Alps.
St. Moritz (included). A morning excursion to the first-class resort of St. Moritz, home in winter to the Cresta Run and famous for its air of elegance. Again, a favourite destination for the rich and famous.
