For itinerary ideas, read on to discover what you can look forward to on a honeymoon tour of Switzerland by train.
Perhaps the first thing people think of when exploring Switzerland by rail is the world-famous tourist trains designed to showcase the Alps’ natural splendour. Trains like the Glacier Express and Bernina Express that glide through valleys and hundreds of viaducts and tunnels.
Yet, rail travel in Switzerland offers so much more. Switzerland’s SBB trains are sleek, comfortable and by far the most practical way to thread through the country’s most compelling destinations. They also connect with local trains that offer the chance to head off the grid and deep into the Alps.
As a highly developed country, honeymooners looking to celebrate in style are spoiled for choice. Lakeside hotels in cosmopolitan cities, cosy chalets in ritzy mountain resorts, and abundant fine-dining restaurants augment Switzerland honeymoon packages.
Upmarket shopping, spa resorts, and mountain activities ensure that this relatively small, landlocked country delivers more than you might expect. In short, trains offer a green and uncomplicated way to explore at leisure and enjoy scenes that puts the romance in travel.
Part of Switzerland’s appeal for rail explorers is the easy rail connections between cities and resorts high in the Alps, as well as destinations in neighbouring countries. Explore the possibilities in our destination guide to Switzerland, which spotlights itineraries made for honeymooners.
Here are a few select itineraries made for couples seeking romance and lasting memories.
Inspired by our Alpine adventure through Switzerland, this leisurely yet varied tour begins in the refined banking hub, Zurich. Then continues on a picturesque journey to three heritage jewels: Bern, Interlaken, and Zermatt.
Elegant Zurich is the place to enjoy lakeside walks, museum jaunts, and the fine dining the well-heeled city is known for. While riverside Bern offers a pristine snapshot of mediaeval architecture in a UNESCO World Heritage old town, home to the 13th-century Zytglogge astronomical clock tower. Two cities of striking contrasts.
The itinerary then follows a scenic route to chocolate-box Interlaken, a resort town nestled in a valley between two lakes. The journey then climbs to the top of Europe and Zermatt, a winter sports resort in the unmistakable shadow of the Matterhorn peak.
At every stop you’ll find upscale hotels perfect for honeymooners, with cultural contrasts and breathtaking nature and luxury all rolled into a dreamy Switzerland honeymoon package.
