Itinerary
Gather in the morning and travel by coach along the highway to the famous city
of Annecy, located at the border of the Alps, in the regions of France, Switzerland,
and Italy. Annecy is renowned for its art and history and is often hailed as one of
the most beautiful cities in France, attracting numerous visitors. The famous love
story of the French philosopher Rousseau and Madame de Warens has made
the Lover's Bridge a romantic landmark in Annecy. Enjoy free time in the town,
stroll through the canal district of Old Annecy, and admire the beautiful lake and
mountain scenery along the way. Accommodation is near the border city of France
and Switzerland.
Annecy, France
Annecy is a small city in the Savoy region of France that started coming to prominence in the 1400s. It hosts a small annual film festival.
After breakfast, we'll drive towards the majestic Swiss Alps, to the renowned
Jungfrau region, often referred to as the "Top of Europe" (at own expense). We'll first
take a scenic train ride along the Jungfrau Railway to the transfer station, and then
switch to the cogwheel train to reach the highest railway station in Europe, where
we can explore the perpetually snow-covered Jungfrau. The panoramic views from
here are breathtaking, offering sweeping views of the majestic peaks of the Alps.
Afterward, we'll head to the charming resort town of Interlaken, nestled between
two lakes amidst the towering peaks, resembling a picturesque painting. Here, we'll
have some free time to explore. Accommodation is near the mountain town.
Interlaken, Switzerland
This small Swiss town is a very popular tourist destination because of its beautiful location nestled in a valley among the Alps. There is a famous monastery and many popular, old-fashioned hotels in the area.
Jungfrau
It is the highest peak in Europe and the most attractive landscape in Berne Heights. It is called "Queen" of the Alps, 4158 meters above sea level, spanning 18 kilometers, just like a girl dressed in long hair, plain silver, lying quietly on her back between the clouds.
In the morning, we'll
drive to the Zweisimmen station and board one of Switzerland's most beautiful train
routes, the Golden Pass Express. This train journey offers continuous panoramic
views of stunning landscapes, with equally captivating scenery and comfort along
the way. Upon reaching Montreux, we'll drive to the picturesque Chillon Castle situated between Lake Geneva and steep mountains (at own expense). We'll then proceed to Chamonix, a town located near the junction of
Italy, France, and Switzerland, where you can admire the breathtaking views of
Mont Blanc and enjoy the leisurely atmosphere of the town, adding enjoyment to
life. Accommodation is near the border city of France and Switzerland.
Zweisimmen, Switzerland
Montreux, Switzerland
This small Swiss city sits on the western coast of Lake Geneva. It is most famous for hosting the annual Montreaux Jazz Festival, and gets mentioned in the iconic rock song "Smoke on the Water."
Chillon Castle
This Swiss castle provides incredible views of Lake Geneva. It is located on a narrow stretch of land on the eastern end of the lake. The poet Lord Byron was a famous visitor and carved his name into the dungeon.
Chamonix, France
Located in the northwestern part of the Alps, about 90 minutes' drive from Geneva, it is a French town at an altitude of 1,035m on the border of Switzerland, France and Italy.
After touring Geneva, the "City of Peace,"which is not only the location of the European headquarters of the United Nations but also the birthplace of the Red Cross. We'll leave Switzerland and drive back to Paris.
Geneva, Switzerland
Geneva is the second largest city in Switzerland and a global center that houses the United Nations and many international organizations. Visitors enjoy museums, theatres, and cultural sites including Muse d'Art et d'Histoire, as well as archeological sites, historic buildings, dining, shopping, and much more.
The Geneva Water Fountain
Jet d'Eau, literally meaning 'water jet', is a huge Fountain on the Geneva Lake. It became a remarkable symbol for the city, therefore, it was amplified and relocated to the center of the Lake. The Fountain presents and gives the power to the place! Every time you look on its majesty you are reminded that you are in the powerful and well-organized country. Soon after being finished, the fountain became the symbol of strength, ambition and vitality of Geneva and Switzerland. Its strong engines pump 500 liters of water per second to the height of 140 meters.
