Bavaria & the Swiss Alps
In Munich, your custom vacation starts with the conviviality of traditional beer gardens and the chime of the Glockenspiel at Marienplatz. You'll then embark on a breathtaking rail journey that winds through emerald valleys and climbs deep into the heart of the Swiss Alps. Arriving in Grindelwald, the sheer magnitude of the Eiger and the Jungfrau loom over cozy wooden chalets. Explore this alpine escape surrounded by awesome jagged peaks. The journey continues to Luzern, where the landscape softens into the serene beauty of Lake Lucerne. Here, you can wander across the medieval Chapel Bridge and soak in the reflection of the surrounding mountains in the crystal-clear water, perfectly blending urban elegance with the majesty of the high country.
