Uncover the trail of the legendary William Tell!
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 first class to the sun-drenched climes of Italian-speaking lakeside resorts Locarno or Lugano.
