Itinerary

We meet our tour leader at Malta Airport at 11.15am for our KM Malta Airlines flight to Zurich departing at 2.20pm and arriving at 4.45pm. 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 attractions we shall see the prominent Water Tower, the Chapel Bridge, the Jesuit Church, and the Reneissance Style Town Hall. Our last stop will be at the Lion monument that commemorates the Swiss guards killed during the French revolution.

Today’s excursion takes us to Mount Titlis, 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) including the world’s 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, cafeterias 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). Late afternoon we will return to Lucerne, having free time for personal sightseeing at leisure.

Another full-day optional 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.

Today’s full-day excursion will take us first to Einsiedeln, where we will visit the most famous Abbey which is one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in Switzerland. Afterwards will 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). Later we visit Zurich city centre where we will admire the old, colourful architecture and bridges along the Limmat River. We will have a walk around Altstadt (old town) and afterwards there is free time for personal sightseeing, a walk at Lake Zurich or some souvenir shopping.

Another full-day optional excursion 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.

Early afternoon we make our way to visit the town of Zug, famous for its cherry liquor which is found in its drinks, cakes and cookies.
