The concept of this tour
Unlike all our other New Year programmes this is not an escorted tour. It doesn't need to be. It has been specifically designed with individual flexibility in mind and includes travel on the incredibly reliable and comprehensive Swiss Rail system.

The Hotel Oberland in Lauterbrunnen
The delightful village of Lauterbrunnen is located 15 minutes down the train line from Wilderswil. The setting is stunning with 1,000 foot sheer cliffs rising either side of this narrow 'valley of the waterfalls'
(these are the cliffs that James Bond keeps leaping off when chased by the baddies).
The three star Oberland Hotel dates back well over 100 years and is located in the heart of the village, 200 metres from the railway station. You'll be the guests of Ursula and Mark Nolan-von Allmen. Mark's passion for Swiss hill walking led him from Australia to Lauterbrunnen where he met and married Ursula. The dining is excellent, there is a relaxing bar/café, lounge and all rooms include private facilities, TV and radio. Please note the Oberland is a 4 storey hotel and has no lift.
