Tour Overview

Imagine... three European countries over Christmas. Staying four nights over Christmas in a first class Swiss Spa Hotel in a hidden village perched dramatically in the snow-clad Swiss Alps. Ahhh… Christmas being perfumed and pampered or playing in the snow high above the town with dramatic views across the mighty, jagged peaks. Add to this the Austrian Lakes District, the Christmas Markets of baroque Salzburg and medieval Innsbruck, Zermatt and the mighty Matterhorn, Luzern and your 1st Class panoramic carriage on the famous Glacier Express! Style, elegance and an incredible adventure!
