The Alps and Lakes Premium Group Tour is a week-long rail tour that beautifully blends stunning landscapes with rich cultural experiences across some of the most enchanting destinations in the Alps.

Your journey begins in Innsbruck, Austria, a city renowned for its history and alpine scenery. Nestled in the heart of the Tyrol region, Innsbruck boasts a charming Old Town filled with colorful buildings, historic sites, and the iconic Golden Roof.

The tour then continues on to Lake Garda, Italy’s largest lake, known for its picturesque landscapes and dreamy villages. The lake is surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, providing a serene atmosphere to while away the hours. Optional activities here include a scenic cable car ride on the Funivia Malcesine Monte Baldo, offering panoramic views of the lake and mountains. There is also the chance to enjoy a boat tour that features historic castles and a tasting of Bardolino wine, showcasing the region’s culinary heritage.

The journey continues to Lake Como, another beautiful lakeside destination that offers stunning waterfront views and villages nestled along its shores. After a leisurely lunch, a guided walking tour introduces visitors to the area’s highlights, including its piazzas and art galleries. Travellers may also enjoy a funicular ride up to Brunate for breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains.

The next stop is Interlaken, a resort town located between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, famous for its unrivalled mountain scenery and outdoor activities. After checking into your hotel, there is an opportunity to take a funicular ride up to Harder Kulm, where vistas of the surrounding peaks await, followed by a traditional fondue dinner to finish off the day.

On the final day, the journey takes you to Jungfraujoch, often referred to as the ‘Top of Europe’. This remarkable excursion reaches an elevation of over 3,400 meters, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Swiss Alps, including views of the Aletsch Glacier and surrounding peaks.

This rail tour promises an enriching experience, offering a perfect balance of cultural immersion, outdoor adventure, and incomparable landscapes that will leave you with lasting memories of your travels through this remarkable region.

Throughout your travels, you will be accompanied by up to 20 fellow travellers, staying in comfortable boutique 4-star hotels. Enjoy a wide range of optional activities in each city, with as much free time to explore at your own pace as you would like, all supported by an experienced tour leader.
