Hidden Switzerland Escorted Tour

After breakfast, we will check out of the hotel and your main luggage will be transported directly to our next stop. We take the train to Schloss Laufen am Rheinfall station and from there, it’s a pleasant 30 minute walk along scenic paths to Schlössli Wörth, where you will board your Rhine Falls boat trip. (approximately 30 minutes) Enjoy the stunning views as you get up close to one of Europe’s most spectacular waterfalls. After the boat trip, you can continue to explore the Rhine Falls area, relax by the water, or visit the viewpoints and walking paths before continuing your journey to the nearby town of Schaffhausen.

Enjoy some free time here. Stroll through the charming old town, admire the beautiful medieval buildings, or relax in a café. After lunch, we will take the train to Linthal, located in the heart of Canton Glarus. From Linthal, a funicular ride will carry us up to our final destination, the Panorama Hotel, situated in the charming, car-free village of Braunwald.

You’ll have a restful morning today with a relaxed breakfast and some time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of Braunwald. Later, we will take a scenic walk through the village before boarding the gondola to Berggasthaus Gumen.
Here, you can enjoy a traditional lunch while taking in the spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding Alps.

The afternoon is at leisure, allowing you to relax, take photos, or explore the area further. The descent back to the village on the gondola is included, but guests who prefer a more active experience may choose to walk down at their own pace, enjoying the fresh mountain air and scenic trails.

After breakfast, we will check out of the hotel and your main luggage will be transported directly to your next hotel. We’ll take the funicular and continue by train on a scenic route via the Walensee to Chur. From Chur, we proceed onwards by train to Tiefencastel, where we change to the PostAuto for a short connection to our destination, Savognin. Upon arrival in Savognin, we will check in to the hotel.

After lunch at your own leisure, we take the gondola to Tigignas, offering breathtaking panoramic views across the Val Surses. Enjoy the stunning alpine scenery and take photos of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Spend some time at the top to relax, soak in the vistas, and appreciate the peaceful alpine environment. You’ll have dinner at the hotel in the evening as well as a Swiss wine tasting experience.

We begin the day with a short PostAuto ride to Tiefencastel, where we disembark and join the train for a journey along the spectacular UNESCO World Heritage Albula Line to St. Moritz. You have some free time here to enjoy lunch independently, discover the luxury boutiques and perhaps take a stroll around the tranquil lake.

In the afternoon, we board the PostAuto for the return journey to Savognin via Bivio, another spectacular route offering panoramic mountain views and unforgettable scenery. Our late afternoon arrival in Savognin allows some free time to explore the charming village before dinner, giving you the chance to stroll, shop, or simply relax in the alpine atmosphere. Enjoy a sumptuous farewell dinner at the hotel this evening.

We’ll check out early this morning and return to Tiefencastel by bus. Here, we’ll connect with the train for a last scenic rail journey north to Basel via Chur. Your main luggage will be delivered directly to the station at Basel SBB. Collect your cases and join our UK guide who will bring you back to Paris and on to London at the end of an unforgettable Swiss adventure.
