4-Star Christmas on Lake Lucerne

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then to northern France for an overnight stay.

To Switzerland, where we stay for five nights.

Join us as we travel to the famous holiday resort of Interlaken on our included excursion, surrounded by outstanding scenery, and impressively situated between Lake Brienz and Lake Thun. There will be time for you to explore the town before we continue to the heart of the Hasliberg hiking region and the town of Meiringen.

We spend the day at leisure in the lovely city of Lucerne, surrounded by breathtaking alpine scenery. Lucerne has long since charmed its visitors, on account of its beautiful setting and many historic places of interest. The old town is a delight to explore, with its crystal-clear canal and architectural wonders, and be sure to visit the Lion Monument, which is a memorial to the Swiss soldiers who lost their lives during the French Revolution. The oldest clock in Lucerne, Zytturm, should also be on your list of things to see. Why not join our optional lake cruise and soak up the sights from a unique perspective?

Please note that Christmas Eve in Switzerland is a traditional religious festival and in many areas is still celebrated as such. This may mean that facilities in towns, villages and hotels may close early.

Merry Christmas! Enjoy an unforgettable mountain experience as we ride aboard the Jungfrau Regional Railway, Switzerland’s most popular mountain railway system. We board the railway in the village of Lauterbrunnen and travel up through the spectacular scenery to the Kleine Scheidegg Mountain pass, at the foot of the notorious Eiger North Wall. From Kleine Scheidegg we take the train and descend to the picturesque mountain village of Grindelwald where you will have time at leisure to explore, and weather permitting, enjoy the magnificent views of the famous Eiger Mountain. This evening we celebrate with a turkey dinner.

Today we enjoy a scenic drive through Switzerland’s stunning mountain peaks and passes, stopping off at the picturesque village of Andermatt. Be sure to remember your camera!

Please note: Route taken will be dependent on local weather conditions and local route availability.

We leave Switzerland behind and make our way north through the French countryside to our overnight hotel in Northern France.

Return home.
