Experience the Glacier Express & Lake Lucerne at New Year

The Glacier Express is one of the world's most spectacular rail journeys, which meanders through snow-capped mountains and peaceful meadows before descending into beautiful valleys. Our Glacier Express and Lake Lucerne New Year tour passes numerous Swiss highlights from the majestic Mount Rigi to the shops and historic buildings of Lucerne. The Glacier Express is one of the most sought after journeys in the world as it navigates through some of Switzerland's finest scenery of snowy pastures and woodland. As with many of our holidays, you can enjoy included excursions such as a journey on the Mount Rigi Railway to admire the breathtaking views.

Travelling through Switzerland on the world-famous Glacier Express is a real delight, which is why it is one of the most popular trips we offer. On our trip to the beautiful Lake Lucerne during New Year you can spend time exploring the culture and history of the city or visiting the shops. Lucerne has a number of attractions including Chapel Bridge, the oldest preserved wooden bridge in Europe and the famous Lion Monument. There is so much to explore on this tour that every moment brings a new highlight for you to admire. One of our friendly and experienced Tour Managers is also on hand throughout the Glacier Express and Lake Lucerne New Year tour so that everything runs smoothly.
