New Year in the Wonderful Swiss Alps

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then to northern France for an overnight stay.

We continue to our hotel In Collombey on the edge of the Swiss Alps, the Alp Art Hotel, arriving in time for dinner.

After breakfast, we make the short journey to Täsch where we board the shuttle train to Zermatt. The famous Alpine village lies at the foot of the Matterhorn, one of the world’s most famous mountains. Zermatt has preserved its original character and the traditional chalets which are lit up with twinkling coloured lights, making Zermatt an idyllic picture of festivity.

After some free time, we take the cog railway to the Gornergrat to enjoy a panorama of the famous Matterhorn. In the afternoon, we take the train back to Täsch and travel by coach back to the hotel. Tonight, we enjoy a New Year's party with live entertainment.

This afternoon, we visit the famous cheese dairy in Gruyeres. In addition to a small sample of the cheese, during an audio guide tour you will learn about the production of this famous Swiss cheese.

This morning we will visit Geneva, Switzerland’s most cosmopolitan city, situated on the sparkling shores of Lake Geneva. Visit the old town and of course the world-famous water fountain Jet d’Eau which can be spotted from far away with its incredible height of 140 meters. We will then continue to Montreux, which is nestled in a sheltered lake bay, surrounded by snow covered Alps.

We depart our hotel this morning and overnight in northern France.
