If you would prefer to travel in the company of like minded people, we offer an escorted departure of this tour on 16 June. These form a spectacular backdrop to our walks in the Oberland. Perhaps the best views of this stunning array of rock and ice are to be had from the traverse between Schynige Platte and Grindelwald, by way of the Faulhorn and the Bachsee. Few will miss the chance of a ride on the rack and pinion railway which climbs steadily from Kleine Scheidegg through the Eiger to emerge on the Jungfraujoch, at 3475 metres the highest rail station in Europe, surrounded by perpetual snow. For the last two nights of the tour we leave the Oberland and travel by train to Zermatt in the Valais, at the foot of the incomparable Matterhorn.
All rooms facing south have a balcony.
The hotel is a short walk from the train station and the Firstbahn Gondola station. At Lauterbrunnen our recently modernised 3-star hotel, provides views of the famous Jungfrau and of the waterfalls on both sides of the valley. Our hotel in the centre of Zermatt is a typical Swiss chalet style building. This comfortable and informal family run hotel has a pleasant terrace garden and a sauna as well as spacious rooms with private facilities.
