Interlaken and Alpine Valleys

The group based its first half in Interlaken, a resort town beside Lake Thun with rollable streets, shops, cafes and two nearby train stations. Rail journeys reached Lauterbrunnen Valley, where travelers rode a cable car to Mürren, explored the village and viewed the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau from Grütschalp.

Cities, Railways and Waterfalls

In Bern, the tour visited the UNESCO-listed Old Town, Clock Tower, Bear Park, Federal Parliament and Einstein’s former apartment. The GoldenPass Railway led to Château-d’Oex for fondue and a Balloon Museum visit. In Lucerne, a modernized accessible cogwheel railway climbed Mount Rigi, followed by ferry and cable-car travel.

Zurich and Accessible Highlights

The group visited Rhine Falls by wheelchair-accessible sightseeing boat, then explored Zurich’s Old Town, churches, lakeside promenade and waterfront. A ferry ride to Kilchberg preceded a roll through a lakefront park and a guided Lindt Home of Chocolate tour. The organizer described the trip as a favorite and said five travelers had signed up for another 2027 group trip.
