Episode 89: Discovering rails, trails and hidden gems of the Swiss Alps
Would you like to travel around Switzerland by public transport but you don’t want to go it alone? A small group rail tour may be just what you’re looking for.
In this episode, I’m chatting with Andrea Caspani from Echo Rails and Trails, to learn all about their 12 day Swiss Alps Grand Rail Tour. The tour visits the most popular destinations in Switzerland and includes rides on the famous panoramic trains and the most iconic mountain excursions.
But it also offers guests the chance to explore some of Switzerland’s lesser-known delights, all whilst travelling by public transport, making this a truly unique tour.
Add in the benefits of having a knowledge, local guide, two night stays in each destination and most of your meals included, and you’ve got a tour that you will never forget.
Listen below to hear more about this wonderful experience from Andrea.
