What our customers ask about this tour

Pat
Asked on August 24th, 2025Does the trip include climbing the Alps? And I would like to know specifically how to pay and get a refund if I don't get a visa to enter Switzerland?
TrafalgarOperator•Written August 2025This tour offers stunning journeys through the Swiss Alps, like the scenic Golden Pass train, visits to alpine gems such as Interlaken and Lucerne, and breathtaking mountain views. However, it does not include physical climbing of the Alps. To confirm your place on the tour, a non-refundable deposit of $200 per person is required. This deposit guarantees your reservation but unfortunately cannot be refunded, even if your visa application is unsuccessful.
