Upon arrival, transfer to a hotel in Zermatt for your two night stay.

Today enjoy a guided visit to Zermatt.

After breakfast embark on an unforgettably scenic and spectacular rail journey - the legendary Glacier Express. The starting point at Chur is the lowest point of the route to Zermatt and the iconic Matterhorn, Switzerland's most famous mountain and a 'must-see' highlight for many. The train first winds its way through the 'Swiss Grand Canyon', a dramatic section of the Upper Rhine where the river has carved deep into an eerie landscape of white rocks, climbing ever higher along the Oberalp Pass to a height of 6,673 feet. (B)

Nestled in a forested valley with the Alps rising like an amphitheatre around it, Chur has been inhabited for over 5,000 years; the Celts, Romans, Ostrogoths and Franks have all ruled here due to its strategic position as a gateway to high alpine passes and important trade routes. Its characterful old town is a maze of winding cobbled alleys, handsome townhouses, refreshing fountains and quiet courtyards. Set high above the streets, its rising spires puncturing the sky, is the magnificent Cathedral of Saint Mary’s Ascension, a fascinating mix of Gothic and Romanesque styles with a fantastically ornate interior.

After breakfast, transfer to Basel. (B)
