What were your top 3 holiday moments?

1. Travelling on one of Switzerland's most iconic rail journeys across the alps - ‘The Glacier Express’ from St Moritz to Brigg. This unique journey was 7 hours traversing 291 bridges, passing through 91 tunnels, and climbing to over 2,000 metres. The views were spectacular through the panoramic windows and a three-course meal was served to our seat.

2. Taking the funicular up to 1,322 metres above sea level from Interlarken. We had dinner in the panorama restaurant (swiss fondue and rosti). The restaurant has amazing views over Lake Thun, Interlarken, Lake Brienz and the Eiger.

3. We climbed to the ‘Top of Europe’ via train, gondola and cogwheel railway. The new Eiger Express gondola to Eigergletscher, then boarded the Jungfrau Railway for the journey up to 3,454 metres above sea level. Again the views were amazing overlooking the snowy mountains, it was -18 degrees at a the top.

  

A reason to return?

I would return for the spectacular scenery both through the winter and summer months.
