Day 2 Bernina Express

Your day begins with a short journey from Davos to Filisur, where you will board the Bernina Express for an inspiring journey on the famous Bernina Line – a UNESCO-listed railway that's more than 100 years old. It is a thrilling route that passes through no fewer than 55 tunnels and crosses 196 bridges, as well as the famous circular viaduct of Brusio. The train will make its way across the border to Tirano in Italy, where there will be some free time before your return journey. Dinner will be served at the hotel this evening. B, D

Day 3 Glacier Express

Day 4 Interlaken at leisure

You can get to know Interlaken better today. Or perhaps you'll come on an exciting optional trip. This takes you to Jungfraujoch – the 'Top of Europe' – for views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau summits. You'll take the Jungfrau Railway, which travels through a mountain tunnel and takes the steep climb to Jungfraujoch. Located at 3,454 metres above sea level, this is the highest railway station in Europe. What you'll see during two stops and from viewing platforms is an incredible world of rock, ice and snow on all sides. B

Day 5 Trümmelbach Falls and Schilthorn

Your day is filled with exciting journeys, and the first takes you to explore the Trümmelbach Falls. You will then take the cable car to Birg to admire stunning vistas. Then it's on to Schilthorn, known as the '007 Mountain'. On its 2,970-metre summit sits a revolving restaurant, Piz Gloria, which featured in the 1969 James Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service'. Why not enjoy a martini here, shaken not stirred, of course, while you take in 360-degree views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains.

Your next cable car ride takes you to Mürren, a picturesque cliff-top village offering amazing views of the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Its well-prepared footpaths and the fact that it is car-free make it a delight to explore on foot, we will then head back to the hotel for dinner. B, D
