Switzerland Tours from Geneva

Have you imagined seeing waterfalls flowing inside a mountain? Trümmelbach Falls requires an elevator through rock to reach them. Jungfraujoch climbs to 3,454 meters (they call it Top of Europe), Chillon Castle sits right on Lake Geneva where Lord Byron carved his name, and the Matterhorn is that perfect pyramid peak. There's Gruyère cheese tasting where they make it, thermal baths at Les Bains de Lavey, Lucerne's Chapel Bridge with centuries-old paintings under the roof. Geneva is Switzerland’s true gem.
