From Vevey, Switzerland to Turin, Italy, come along for an unforgettable adventure through the alpine and lakeside towns of the Swiss Alps and beyond. Soak in the dramatic landscapes aboard the GoldenPass Panoramic, Gotthard Panorama Express, and the Bernina Express and enjoy excursions on both the water and the mountainsides. Visit UNESCO World Heritage Vineyards and a centuries-old villa. Spend time exploring ancient cities on your terms - immersing yourself in the rich ambiance of each destination through sightseeing and cuisine. The expedition begins with train travel from London St. Pancras to Vevey by way of Paris. Using Vevey as a home base, soak in the beauty of the Lake Geneva region through a visit to Cully and plenty of time to explore independently. From here, we travel aboard the incredibly scenic GoldenPass Panoramic and find ourselves surrounded by the grandeur of Lake Lucerne, Mount Rigi, and Mount Pilatus in Lucerne. The Gotthard Panorama Express is our chariot across the Swiss-Italian border to Como, Italy, on the shores of Lake Como - yet another stunning waterway. We spend three days uncovering the layers of intrigue in the Como area. Look out over the city on a cruise of Lake Como, discover rich history at Villa del Balbianello and watch some of Switzerland’s most incredible scenery unfold aboard the Bernina Express. Catch glimpses of Milan and Turin in Italy before heading north once more. Recalling scenes of this impressive journey are sure to offer incredible memories for years to come.
