After riding Switzerland's Glacier Express, Sir David Attenborough described it as one of "the world's most stunning rail journeys". This 4-day trip takes in 290 bridges, 90 tunnels and awe-inspiring Alpine views -- all for $992 (£629) per couple.

Based on two sharing, this deal saves $741 (£470) on the regular price $1,733 (£1,099). Departures are available daily between September 1 and October 17 and include:

  • Return transfers from any Swiss airport or Swiss-German border station (such as Constance or Basel) to Zermatt and back from Lugano
  • Full day aboard the Glacier Express from Zermatt to St Moritz in a first-glass glass carriage
  • Full day aboard the Bernina Express in a second-class carriage from St Moritz to Lugano
  • Overnight stays in 3-star hotels in Zermatt, St Moritz and Lugano with daily breakfast

Upgrade to include 4-star hotels for an extra $252 (£160) per couple.

The trip encompasses two unforgettable rail journeys. The mellow Glacier Express, believed to be the slowest express train in the world, takes seven hours to get from Zermatt to St Moritz. On the Bernina Express, you will journey along the Bernina Pass, a 100-year-old railway line and UNESCO World Heritage Site, before reaching Tirano in Italy and continuing to Lugano. As Attenborough says: "Nowhere does trains quite like Switzerland."

The trip includes transfers from any Swiss airport.
