Glacier Express multi-centre

Ride the famous Glacier Express Panoramic Train and explore some of Switzerland's best bits. Experience the diversity of Switzerland's scenery and travel on the famous Glacier Express scenic train on this multi-centre rail holiday that combines three contrasting areas of Switzerland for a holiday to remember.

Passing dramatic glaciers, snow-covered peaks, rushing rivers, and remote rural hamlets, the journey on the Glacier Express from Zermatt to Filisur (where a change of train is required to Davos) is the highlight of the trip. The panoramic train carriages ensure you don’t miss a thing, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.

On board, you can choose to have lunch (must be requested at the time of booking for an additional charge) or plan your own picnic. A minibar service for drinks and snacks is also available on the train, plus an audio guide ensures you know all the interesting facts about what you can see on the journey.

We offer 10 or 11-night trips with a selection of hotels to choose from in each destination, and 1st or 2nd class train travel.

  • 10-night trips depart on a Wednesday for three nights in Interlaken, four nights in Zermatt and three nights in Davos (first departure for Summer 26 is 3 Jun)
  • 11-night trips depart on a Saturday for four nights in Interlaken, three nights in Zermatt and four nights in Davos (first departure for Summer 26 is 6 Jun)

Our Walking Experts can tailor your trip to dates, durations and hotels that suit you. 

The guide price is based on a 10-night trip, departing on 17 June 26 from London Heathrow airport with 2nd class travel throughout for two people on half-board basis. Three nights in Interlaken, at Seehotel Bönigen (in a standard mountain view room), four nights in Zermatt at Hotel Butterfly (in a south facing economy Queen room), and three nights in Davos at Hotel Precise Tale Seehof (in a superior room) with 2nd class train transfers between destinations and 2nd class travel on the Glacier Express.

Please note that we will organise seat reservations for you on the Glacier Express but while we will try our very best to arrange seats together, due to the huge demand for the services, we can’t guarantee this.

Get active in the adventure capital of Europe - Interlaken

Interlaken sets you up for adventure, walking and sightseeing as you’re at the gateway of the Jungfrau Mountains, surrounded by stunning blue lakes and the impressive snow-capped peaks of the Bernese Oberland. Take a boat cruise on Lake Thun or Brienz, visit the nearby Giessbach waterfalls or head up to the Harder Kulm for the best views over Interlaken and the spectacular mountains in the distance – this is a great spot for sunset.

Our top tips for your time in Interlaken:

  • Head high into the mountains on the Brienzer Rothorn steam cog railway or take a nostalgic trip up the Schynige Platte from Wilderswil for fantastic views and many great walks.
  • Take a trip to the Top-of-Europe for remarkable views of the longest glacier in the Alps, the Aletsch, and surrounding mountains of the Eiger, Jungfrau and Mönch, plus take a trip inside the glacier at the ice palace. 
  • Have a prosecco brunch at the Schilthorn above the picturesque car-free town of Mürren – the views up here are really impressive and you can enjoy them from the revolving restaurant, prosecco in-hand. 
  • Adventure lovers will find plenty to do in Interlaken, from speed-boat trips to white water rafting or canyoning. If you’re after a calmer trip out on the water, relax and enjoy a lunchtime boat cruise or hire a paddleboard or kayak for the afternoon.

Visit the Matterhorn village of Zermatt

With nearly 400 kilometres of marked routes, Zermatt’s walking area is huge - opened up by multiple mountain lifts. The pre-bookable Peak Pass gives access to all lifts and opens up the vast walking area above this world-famous town – plus it includes entry to the Glacier Palace and travel on the Gornergrat.

Our top tips for your time in Zermatt:

  • For the best views of the Matterhorn, a trip up the historic Gornergrat railway is a must. Not far from the top of the lift is the Riffelsee where you can get the ultimate mirror reflection of the Matterhorn on a calm day. There are plenty of lovely walking options up here too.
  • Head up high to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise, where you can visit the ice palace, enjoy spectacular views and take a trip on the new Matterhorn Alpine Crossing over into Italy.
  • There are lots of adventurous activities in Zermatt too – hire a mountain bike for the day and explore on two wheels, or try some via feratta.  
  • If you’re in Zermatt over a Monday or a Friday, why not join one of our Inghams guided walks? Explore some of Zermatt’s best scenery in the company of other Inghams guests and a professional local guide – and the best bit is, there’s no extra cost to join – add the walk to your holiday at the time of booking.
  • Visit Europe’s highest alpine garden at 2,800 metres altitude. The Alpine Garden is on the Gornergrat, directly below the Rotenboden station and displays around 150 species of plants.

Hike in the Graubünden region and explore the city of Davos

There are around 700 kilometres of marked walking routes in the beautiful Davos and Klosters region, offering a fantastic range of routes with something to suit everyone. You can also hop on a bike and explore on two wheels or relax in the Davos wellness centre. There’s plenty of culture here too, with museums to visit and various festivals throughout the summer.

Our top tips for your time in Davos:

  • Discover the picturesque Schlappin valley near Klosters and traditional Berghaus Erika mountain hut which has stunning views from the terrace. Take a stroll along the stream path and spot wild flowers in the most peaceful surroundings.
  • Take the mountain railway to Schatzalp and visit the Alpinum botanical garden with over 5,000 varieties of plants including a huge collection of Edelweiss.
  • Visit the Zügenschlucht Gorge, with waterfalls, steep rock faces and impressive bridges, this is a great day out for walkers and rail enthusiasts. While you’re there, why not visit the Graubünden Mining Museum too.
  • Make your own chocolate at the Confiserie Schneider – Switzerland is famous for its chocolate and here you can learn all about the manufacturing process, and make your own chocolate bar – the ultimate gift to take home.
  • Take a paddleboard on Lake Davos and enjoy the scenery from the water, or walk the panorama path above Davos – the name gives the game away – you can expect amazing views from this route which goes from the top of the Parsenn lift from Davos to the Gotschna cable-car from Klosters.
