Schweiz Reisen, Tour 05: Geneva/Interlaken/Zermatt/St. Moritz/Ascona

The Smallest of the World's Metropolises

Our highlights.

St. PierreCalvin's Austere Mother Church

Geneva's Old Town is dominated by the imposing Roman-Gothic Cathedral of St. Pierre, in which

Johannes Calvin preached his Protestant sermons in the 16th Century. The cathedral is in fact

sitting on nearly 2000 years of history. The permanent and very well documented

archaeological excavation of the site underneath the church floor therefore provides visitors

with an exciting insight into the past.

UNOThe Guardians of Human Dignity

If you walk through the gates of the palace housing the United Nations, you are stepping on

international territory. Over 20,000 delegates from all countries of the world visit this site

annually. And 3,000 permanent employees work exclusively for thi s mission: Peace, security,

and the right of human dignity. A tour through the imposing halls is worth its while.

2.5 hours

MouettesThrough the Wilderness of Nature

It is true, the Rhne is not the Amazon River, but at times it looks like that. On a cruise aboard

a "Mouette", you will enter the mouth of the Arve River set in a wild primeval landscape that

reveals itself as dense and mysterious and yet permits distant views of the Alps. The cruise up

to the reservoir wall in Verbois and back takes 2 1/2 hours.

On the way from Geneva to Interlaken.

The pre-Alpine route in Western Switzerland

The journey begins in Geneva and continues along the lake of the same name (in French, Lac Leman) via Lausanne to Montreux (Schloss Chillon).

Our journey takes us through the green pre-Alpine SimmenValley to Lake Thun and then to Interlaken.Trip duration: Car: Driving time 4:00 hours via Gstaad to Interlaken.

Train: 4:10 hours (fastest train connection)1. Gstaad: DorfstrasseWorld-class Alpine villageNot only is Switzerland's shortest shopping mile with all its boutiques world-class, but also its customers, who later meet up again at the tennis tournament, the Polo Cup,

2. LausanneAn Olympic CapitalSince 1994, Lausanne has been the Olympic capital. It is the seat of the Olympic Committee and the Olympic Museum, one of Switzerland's favorite. Less sporty, but all the

more romantic, is its Medieval Old Town dotted with cafs and boutiques. Its location in the midst of vineyards on Lake Geneva is as fabulous as its cultural scene isrenowned.

InterlakenInterlaken means Between thelakes - Lake Thun and LakeBrienz. The town is the entrypoint to the world-famousJungfrau area. The JungfrauMountain appears like a picture ina frame, even when viewed fromthe Hhenmatte in front of thelegendary Hotel Victoria Jungfrau.

The Beatus Caves, Schynige Platteand Jungfraujoch are ourdestinations.


Starting Point for tours to the Bernese Oberland

Our highlights.

JungfraujochIn the depth of the "Top of Europe"

A great moment in mountain railroad history. On the Swiss National Day in 1912,the trains of the Jungfraubahn went into operation after a 16-year construction

effort. The ride crosses Alpine pastures and further on via the Eiger goes to

Europe's highest train station, located at 3454 meters above sea level. It is an

overwhelming experience to see the Eiger Northface through the window and later

on to stand high up there at the starting point of the Great Aletsch Glacier.

6 hours

Schynige PlatteBy Nostalgic Cogwheel Train to the Panoramic Vantage Point

The cozy, nostalgic cogwheel train dating to the 19th century huffs and puffs upthe 1,400-meter ascent from Wilderswil to the vantage point of Schynige Platte.

During the summer, 500 different species of Alpine plants bloom in the Alpine

Garden. From here, mountain hikers start out on their long trek to the historic

Faulhorn Mountain Hotel and to First/Grindelwald.

http://www.jungfraubahn.ch

4.25 hours

Beatus CavesThe unique sight at the lake of Thun.

The Beatus Caves, located high above the eastern shores of Lake Thun, are

among the most beautiful natural wonders of the Bernese Oberland. Among thehidden treasures of this underworld are the mirror grotto with its crystal-clear

cave lake, the rushing waterfalls as well as the mighty 40,000-year-old stalactite.

Train: 8:30 hours, without transfer (Glacier Express)

1. Glacier ExpressThe World's Slowest Express TrainNo less than 291 bridges, 91 tunnels, 7 valleys - an extraordinary experience. The 300-km train ride is a time warp of sorts and takes seven and one-half hours from St.

Moritz across the Swiss Alps to the famous Matterhorn. Highlights: the world's most scenic train ride, Switzerland's Grand Canyon, and gourmet meals served in style in thehistoric dining car.

2. RheinschluchtSwitzerland's Grand CanyonThe Rhine presents itself nowhere as d ramatically as between Ilanz and Reichenau . It cut its way through the limestone, creating a bizarre landscape of rocks visible from

the car. But the sight is even more impressive when seen while hiking the magnificent trails. A particularly exhilarating experience is a tour in a rubber boat, maneuveringthrough the rugged, rocky scenery.Address:Alpenarena - 7017 Flims Dorf - +41 (0)81 920 92 00 - +41 (0)81 920 92 01 - [email protected]://www.alpenarena.ch

Our highlights.

LakesWhere water reigns supreme

On the plain behind St. Moritz, a fresh breeze is always blowing - to the deli ghtof the sports fans. Lake Silvaplana is a paradise for windsurfers. But nowhere are

Lake Silvaplana and its three neighboring lakes as beautiful as when viewed from

above. No wonder that hikers rejoice in these vistas when they hike the loop

around Mt. Furtschella - and pass another six mountain lakes.

SilvaplanaFree Views of Paradise

This natural scenery is poetry at its purest: Azure-blue lakes in lush green

meadows, snow-capped mountains, and the legendary sky of the Engadine: OnPiz Corvatsch (3,303 meters a.s.l.) the panoramic view is a dream come true. And

GlacierWorld constitutes a delightful and spine-chilling opportunity to penetrate

the eternal world of ice. In addition, 580 kilometers of wonderful hiking trails

beckon to you.

Muottas MuraglA Room with a View

Hotel rooms invite you to fall blissfully asleep after a day of adventures. But on

Muottas Muragl (2,453 meters a.s.l.) you don't feel like closing your eyes: TheUpper Engadine is too beautiful for words. The mountain hotel sits like a throne

high above the idyllic valley. And the tables of the panorama restaurant are in

great demand. Just like the cuisine, the view is out of this world.
