The day's highlight is Harder Kulm, reached by a historic funicular railway. From its panoramic viewpoint, admire spectacular views across Interlaken, the two lakes and the iconic peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. Return to Interlaken for a relaxing evening surrounded by the Bernese Alps.

Leave Interlaken and continue your journey towards Montreux, a beautiful resort town on the shores of Lake Geneva. This scenic journey offers a wonderful contrast between the dramatic Bernese Alps and the elegant lakeside landscapes of the Swiss Riviera.
Spend time in Montreux exploring its picturesque promenade and enjoying views across Lake Geneva. Continue onwards to Geneva, where you will check into your hotel for a two-night stay.
Special rail experience: The route between Interlaken and Montreux can be travelled using the GoldenPass Express, one of Switzerland's famous panoramic trains. However, the supplied package does not specifically include a GoldenPass Express reservation, so I would present it as a possible rail experience rather than a confirmed inclusion.
Day 4 – Geneva | Chamonix & Mont Blanc Alpine Discovery
Discover the magnificent landscapes of the French Alps on a proposed full-day guided excursion from Geneva to Chamonix Mont-Blanc.
Nestled beneath the towering Mont Blanc massif, Chamonix is renowned for its dramatic mountain scenery, Alpine heritage and charming resort atmosphere. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings and discover a different side of the Alps before returning to Geneva.
This excursion is listed in the package's inclusion summary but does not appear in the detailed dated ticket section supplied. Confirm the actual booking before publishing it as included.
Day 5 – Geneva | Departure
Enjoy your final morning in Geneva before checking out of your hotel. Depending on your departure arrangements, spend some time exploring the city's lakeside promenade or enjoying a final glimpse of the famous Jet d'Eau before continuing your onward journey.
