Trains & Treks
GlobeBleu offers only Bespoke programs. We tailor each itinerary to a specific customer's needs and interests. These experiences and itineraries are examples of what we can do.
Two of Switzerland’s most popular features are combined in this itinerary. You’ll travel on some of the country’s most iconic and legendary trains
and also follow hiking trails through alpine settings and to the summits of soaring peaks.
However you spend your day exploring, you can be assured that stops en route include fine meals and fascinating sites; and at the end of each day, you’ll be arriving at one of the country’s top hotels.
