About Switzerland

This eight-day itinerary is the most commonly booked way to see Switzerland in full, adding a day trip to the Rhine Falls in Zurich and a stop in Montreux on Lake Geneva to the classic Zurich-Lucerne-Interlaken route. After city tours in Zurich and Lucerne and an excursion up Mount Titlis, the trip moves to Interlaken for the Jungfraujoch "Top of Europe" excursion and the Lauterbrunnen Valley, before a scenic train ride to Montreux for the Château de Chillon and the Lake Geneva promenade.

Travel between cities is largely by scenic Swiss train. This itinerary suits travelers with 7-8 nights who want to add the French-speaking Lake Geneva region to the standard German-speaking Swiss circuit, arriving via Zurich and departing via Geneva.
