The Experience
Embark on a journey with no transfers from the French speaking village of Montreux that sits along the eastern end of Lake Geneva to the German speaking village of Interlaken set in the peaks of the Bernese Alps. The journey in total is just over three hours and guests have the option to choose between three classes; 2nd, 1st, and Prestige.
