Itinerary
We meet our tour leader at Malta Airport at 12.30pm for our KM Malta Airlines flight to Zurich departing at 3.00pm and arriving at 5.25pm. On arrival, our private coach will take us to our 3-star Hotel Rothaus in Lucerne. After check-in we will join the tour leader for a familiarisation walk of Lucerne. We will walk along the River Reuss that takes us to the historic centre filled with old narrow streets full of shops, small squares and fountains. Amongst the famous attrac-tions we shall see the prominent Water Tower, the Chapel Bridge, the Jesuit Church, and the Renaissance Style Town Hall. Our last stop will be at the Lion monument that commemorates the Swiss guards killed during the French revolution.
Today our excursion takes us for a boat trip from Lucerne (included) to cross Lake Lucerne. During the journey of approximately 2 hours, we will admire the beautiful scenery of the lake surrounded by mountains forming the shape of a fjord. We will disembark the boat in Brunnen where we will find our coach to take us on an optional excursion to go up the Titlis Mountain, one of the highest mountains in Switzerland at a height of 3238m above sea level. We will stop near the Titlis cable car station of Engelberg, from where we catch two cable cars (extra) in-cluding the world first revolving aerial cableway – the Titlis Rotair. From the top we will enjoy stunning views of the Alps and we also have the opportunity to enjoy the sun terrace, cafete-rias and souvenir shops. Besides these we can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities such as the suspension bridge, boat trips and the Glacier cave (weather permitting).
Our second excursion takes us to Grindelwald a picturesque town surrounded by soaring mountain peaks and various activities. Later in the afternoon we will visit the town of Brienz, also known as ‘the village of carving’ and its famous Brunngasse which was once awarded the most beautiful street in Europe. We will stroll around the turquoise-coloured Lake Brienz and enjoy the peaceful surroundings of mountains and waterfalls.
Today our excursion takes us to visit Interlaken, a beautiful town uniquely nestled between Lake Brienz & Lake Thun where you can admire the majestic scenery. Afterward we will proceed to Thun, one of the most original towns in Switzerland, where we will admire its historic old town and the exterior of its picturesque castle.
After breakfast, we will check-out from hotel and our last excursion takes us to visit the Lindt Chocolate Factory together with its famous chocolate fountain which is over 9 metres tall and contains 1400kg of chocolate. Here we can experience the entire chocolate making process and enjoy tastings as well (extra). Time permitting we will have a short visit of Zurich centre and late afternoon will make our way towards Zurich airport for our return flight leaving at 6.15pm and arriving in Malta at 8.30pm.
