Highlights of Swiss Alps
Rising 3,454 metres above sea level, Jungfraujoch is an unmissable highlight of any Swiss Alps tour itinerary. Take the legendary cogwheel railway through tunnels carved into the Eiger, then step onto a glacier where the crisp air and the views stretch across a sea of peaks, including the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
With our insider access, you’ll enjoy the quieter times of day and expert-led guiding that brings the Alps’ history and geology to life. For those seeking a more exclusive experience, the Jungfraujoch VIP experience offers private cable car access and personalised touring, ensuring you feel like you have the mountain all to yourself.
Many of our multiday tours include Jungfraujoch as part of a larger alpine adventure, seamlessly combining it with nearby Grindelwald or Zermatt for a complete Swiss Alps experience.
No mountain is more iconic than the Matterhorn. Its pyramidal peak defines the Swiss landscape, inspiring both climbers and dreamers. While many admire it from Zermatt, our multiday tours of the Swiss Alps can include private Matterhorn hiking tours, sightseeing, or even scenic helicopter flights that reveal it from breathtaking angles.
Often described as the most beautiful valley in the Alps, Lauterbrunnen is framed by sheer cliffs and dotted with 72 waterfalls, including the iconic Staubbach Falls – one of the tallest waterfalls in Switzerland.
It’s a paradise for Swiss Alps walking tours, where paths lead to alpine hamlets, rustic farmsteads, and peaceful picnic spots. For photographers, the valley offers some of the most cinematic landscapes in Switzerland, and its close proximity to Interlaken (just 15 minutes away) makes it an ideal addition to any multiday tour.
In the Engadin, tradition meets glamour. St. Moritz offers world-class hotels and dining, while the surrounding valleys showcase pristine lakes, Romanesque villages, and sweeping high-altitude trails.
Ideal for bespoke Swiss Alps hiking tours and sightseeing, this region combines natural beauty with cultural richness – all with the exclusivity you’d expect. For a true alpine adventure, take the Glacier Express train from Zermatt to St. Moritz, or ride the Bernina Express to Tirano, Italy, and experience some of the most scenic train routes in the world.
Grindelwald, nestled at the foot of the iconic Eiger, offers a perfect blend of adventure and serenity. Known for its breathtaking vistas and serene alpine charm, it’s an ideal base for hiking, skiing, and exploring the surrounding mountains.
Our Grindelwald tours include experiences such as walking the First Cliff Walk, a thrilling suspension bridge offering sweeping panoramas, and visits to nearby Lake Bachalpsee, where the lake’s pristine waters perfectly reflect the snow-covered peaks.
Multiday tours can include Grindelwald as part of a larger journey through the Swiss Alps, allowing you to experience both high-altitude adventure and peaceful alpine beauty.
Cradled between two pristine lakes, Interlaken is the gateway to Switzerland’s wild beauty. Known for its stunning location between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, Interlaken offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventure and relaxation.
Whether you’re embarking on a private boat tour, exploring nearby valleys, or heading to Jungfraujoch for a day of glacier adventures, Interlaken is the ideal starting point for any multiday Swiss tour. Our expert local guides help you uncover hidden gems, from the charming town of Lauterbrunnen to the picturesque villages of Wengen and Mürren.
