William Tell Express
3-Centre Rail & Boat Holiday
Lake Lucerne is a region steeped in history and romance. Local legend tells the tale of William Tell and his part in Switzerland’s struggle for independence. It is on this beautiful lake that the world’s largest fleet of magnificently restored nostalgic paddle steamers operates the ‘William Tell Express’. This holiday offers the opportunity to visit 3 of Switzerland’s most fascinating regions - the Bernese Oberland, Lake Lucerne, and the Ticino. You will travel by the efficiency of the Swiss railway network, as well as on board one of the historic paddle steamers - ‘Stadt Luzern’, ‘Gallia’, ‘Schiller’, ‘Uri’ or ‘Unterwalden’. During your paddle steamer journey to Fluelen, you will have lunch as you cruise, and a commentary will explain the landmarks. From Fluelen a train will carry you through deep ravines and dramatic mountains, travelling to the sun-drenched climes of Italian-speaking lakeside resorts Locarno or Lugano.
