At 09:30, following your breakfast, the driver will meet you at the hotel lobby for a short exploration during free time, to uncover the beauty of the small town - a popular tourist destination in central Switzerland - Interlaken.

After strolling, you may take the funicular experience to the Harder Kulm - the top of Interlaken, which transfers you to a quiet Alpine landscape in 8-10 minutes. It’s an amazing view at 1,321 metres in the Berner Oberland region of Switzerland. (Available from mid-April until the end of November). At the summit, in good weather, you may capture some memorable photos of the whole Interlaken while also having the opportunity to enjoy a small meal at the panoramic restaurant.

Afterward, we will continue our tour to Lauterbrunnen. This is a small Swiss village with a lush, green and majestic valley, where you are offered the scenery of magnificent rocks, mountain peaks with 72 mesmerising waterfalls, and colourful Alpine meadows (30 min to 1 hour).

Later, we will proceed to the car-free resort of Zermatt to spend a night. This is one of the finest Swiss resorts.

Today you will have a free day without the driver and vehicle to explore Zermatt while admiring the beauty of the famous Matterhorn.

As Zermatt is a car-free resort, you need to walk to explore the town and enjoy this beauty up close and personal. You may take the Gornergrat cogwheel railway from the village Zermatt Train Station to 3,100 metres above sea level. On your way, you will have a constant view of the Matterhorn. You can’t get enough of the panorama at the top - mountains and glaciers as far as the eye can see.

There are many ways to experience the Alpine nature and landscapes, especially when you find yourself on perfectly planned roads. You may take a cable car up the hill and explore some fantastic paths for hiking there. Compared with its metropolis Davos, Klosters has more of a calm and quiet reputation. However, both are considered glamorous sides of the Alps, where you can only find the simple luxury typical in Switzerland.
