Wanvela's 8-day, 5-night private Switzerland journey takes you into the heart of the Alps, savouring one of Europe's most beautiful countries at an unhurried pace. Begin in the lakeside town of Lucerne with its wooden Chapel Bridge, travel through Interlaken to the waterfall village of Lauterbrunnen, and settle into Grindelwald for two nights without repacking. Take the gondola to First for the Cliff Walk above the valley with Eiger/Mönch/Jungfrau in view, then ride the cog railway up Gornergrat for panoramic Matterhorn views and stay the night in car-free Zermatt, before finishing in Zurich. Best in late May–September (Alpine summer). THB 160,000 per person (6 travelers), with a tour leader and photographer throughout.

"Our 12-year-old did the First Flyer and Mountain Cart at Grindelwald First and came back to the hotel saying it was the best day of his life. Two nights in Grindelwald meant waking up to the Eiger and not moving bags every day."
"Lauterbrunnen was more beautiful than we expected — the Staubbach Falls dropping off the cliff right in front of us — and the next day the train into car-free Zermatt with the most wonderful atmosphere. The photographer caught every angle. Didn't want it to end."
"Gornergrat in the morning, the Matterhorn right in front of us, sky completely clear. A honeymoon that Wanvela timed perfectly. We finished on Bahnhofstrasse and brought home Lindt and a watch."
