Switzerland’s Secret Railways

N E W T O U R

7 DAYS

Switzerland has an amazing array of mountain railways, including many fabulous ones unknown in the UK as they aren’t included in the Swiss travel passes. On this tour we feature three such ‘secret railways’, plus a steam excursion with a twist on the Brienzer Rothornbahn, all from a small, family-run hotel nestled by idyllic Lake Thun.
