Meeting Point

At your hotel (Lucerne)

10:00 AM

Train station

The panoramic train departs at 10:06 a.m. This is one of the most picturesque panoramic routes in the country. Large windows offer views of valleys, villages, and mountain ranges—it's like leafing through an album of Swiss postcards. Along the way, we will see: Lake Alpnach—quiet and narrow, nestled against the rocks; Lake Sarnen—a mirror-like surface and green hills; Lungern Lake — one of the most beautiful in Switzerland, with turquoise water and houses on the slopes, the ascent to the Brünig Pass, where the train passes alpine farms and pine forests, the descent to Meiringen — the town of Sherlock Holmes, associated with the Reichenbach Falls. The last section runs along the turquoise Lake Brienz. 11:33 We arrive in Brienz, a cozy village on the shore of the lake.

11:30 AM

Brienz

A beautiful cruise on the turquoise Lake Brienz.

During the cruise, we will see:

The Giessbach Falls, consisting of 14 cascades,

Iselwald Castle, a place made famous by the Korean

TV series Crash Landing on You,

Traditional villages on the shores,

Steep cliffs and forests reflected in the water.


Lake Brienz is one of the most photogenic lakes in Switzerland.

Stop at the Giessbach Falls. We will get off at the Giessbach See pier and take a walk to one of the most

impressive waterfalls in the Bernese Oberland.

The route follows a neat forest trail with several viewing

platforms: each one offers a new perspective on the Giessbach cascades and the turquoise Lake Brienz below —— the perfect place for photos.

We will climb up to the historic Grandhotel Giessbach, built in the second half of the 19th century. This majestic building stands on a hill directly above

the waterfall and is surrounded by a park that has retained the atmosphere of the Belle Époque. You can climb on foot or take the hotel's private funicular, one of the oldest operating funiculars in Europe.

Lunch at a restaurant or on the hotel terrace with beautiful views of the waterfall and lake.


2:40 p.m. After a break, we return to the pier to continue our journey to Interlaken.


4:00 p.m. The ship brings us to Interlaken.

04:00 PM

Harderkulm - top of Interlaken

From the center of Interlaken, we climb Harder Kulm, a peak 1,310 meters high,

beloved for its postcard view of the city nestled between two lakes.

At the top, a panorama of the famous triad of the Bernese Alps opens up:

the Eiger (3,970 m) — rugged, rocky, and recognizable by its north face,

the Mönch (4,107 m) — a harmonious and majestic ridge,

and the Jungfrau (4,158 m) — one of the most beautiful peaks in the Alps.

We will also see:

Lake Thun,

Lake Brienz,

the town of Interlaken from a bird's eye view.

At the site, you can take photos on a suspension bridge and enjoy the panorama.

05:20 PM

Interlaken

Descent to Interlaken. Take train to Lucerne.

About Tour Guide Julia S.

Hi!

My name is Julia, and I’m a private tour guide based in Zurich, Bern, and Lucerne. My journey began when I fell in love with fairy tales as a five-year-old bookworm. I studied cello for 11 years at the same school Oistrakh once attended (I’m originally from Ukraine). While history was my favorite subject and I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist, life led me to graduate in acting and work as a theater actress.


In 2008, I moved to Venice, where I started my career in tourism in 2011, guiding travelers across Italy, France, and Switzerland. By 2015, I had earned my license as a guide in Venice. In 2020, I relocated to Switzerland with my family and continued sharing my love for history, culture, and unforgettable experiences with travelers.


I strive to make every tour both enriching and enjoyable. You won’t be overwhelmed with dates and names—my goal is to share stories that inspire and connect. I hold all certifications required by the Swiss government and am also a certified guide in Venice and Chernihiv, Ukraine.


Please note: I’m not a driver, but I can accompany you in your car or help arrange a professional car and driver for your tour. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’d be delighted to help you plan your perfect Swiss adventure!
