Christmas & New Year Tours & Trips in Swiss Alps

Ring in the new year at three top Alpine spots starting at Badrutt's Palace Hotel by Lake St. Moritz, then take the Glacier Express to Zermatt's Mont Cervin Palace for Matterhorn-framed festivities, and finish at LeCrans Hotel & Spa in Crans-Montana with gala dinners, cable car rides, and horse-drawn carriage trips through snowy valleys.

Join November and December 2025 departures through snow-covered Swiss Alps, riding the cogwheel train across mountain streams to Mount Pilatus and seeing Jungfraujoch's eternal snow and ice. Spend time in traditional mountain towns like Grindelwald and Lucerne, with chances to try snow tubing and sledging at Mount Titlis summit. Walk through medieval Bern's UNESCO Old Town during the festive season. Stay in centrally located hotels positioned for checking out Christmas markets and winter Alpine scenery, with cogwheel trains offering views of the Eigerwand north face.

Ring in the New Year at the foot of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks with cable car access to Grindelwald First at 2,168 meters. Your 3-day Swiss Pass gets you to the car-free alpine villages of Mürren and Wengen in the Lauterbrunnen Valley, and you'll see Trümmelbach Falls' ten glacier-fed waterfalls inside the mountain plus Rhine Falls.

Celebrate the holidays on Switzerland's most scenic rail routes, riding the Bernina Express through 55 tunnels and over 196 bridges along the UNESCO-listed Albula Line to Tirano. The Glacier Express takes you from Chur to Brig, and you'll have a festive 3-course meal as you cross the 2,033-meter Oberalp Pass and the Rhine Gorge.
