The Great Swiss Rail Escape – A Journey for the Senses
From alpine peaks to chocolate treats, cascading waterfalls to vineyard views—Switzerland is a land of dazzling contrasts, and this beautifully curated rail journey invites you to experience it all in comfort, style and solo-friendly company.
Beginning in the cosmopolitan city of Zurich, you’ll explore the atmospheric Old Town before delving into Switzerland’s sweetest legacy at the Lindt Home of Chocolate. From there, the lakeside charm of Lucerne beckons, with its medieval bridges, mountain views and a joyous folklore show that celebrates the spirit of the Swiss Alps.
Ride the cogwheel train to the top of Mount Rigi, soak up sweeping panoramas, and sample artisan cheeses and local meats right at the source. In Interlaken, the breathtaking Bernese Oberland becomes your playground: marvel at waterfalls in Lauterbrunnen Valley, dine in a revolving mountaintop restaurant on Schilthorn, and ride the famous Jungfraujoch railway to the “Top of Europe” for an unforgettable lunch amidst snow and glacier.
The scenery shifts as you board the panoramic GoldenPass Express, winding your way to the Riviera-style town of Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Here, you’ll savour crisp wines in the terraced Lavaux vineyards, cruise to fairy-tale Chillon Castle, and toast the journey with a farewell dinner overlooking the lake.
Throughout, you’ll travel in a small group of like-minded solo adventurers aged 40+, with your own room guaranteed every night in handpicked 4-star hotels.
Enjoy delicious local cuisine, effortless luggage transfers, and the warmth and guidance of your dedicated Two’s a Crowd Tour Host.
Whether you’re standing above the clouds, cruising alpine lakes, or sharing a laugh over fondue, this is more than a holiday—it’s a sensory-rich journey across one of Europe’s most spectacular landscapes.
Join us in June 2026 for an unforgettable Swiss rail adventure—solo doesn’t mean alone.
