Zermatt and the Matterhorn ( via Simplon Pass )

A drive along the Ossola Valley through Domodossola along the Simplon road through some very impressive scenery into Switzerland. The tour continues along Napoleon’s road and up and over the Simplon Pass. At the Belvedere view point a stop is made for photos and coffee.

Then down to Brig with its Stockalper Castle, through Visp and up the Matter valley as far as Taesch. Here we take the little mountain rack-railway train (included) into Zermatt. The whole village is a pedestrian precinct and from the main street we see the famous Matterhorn standing majestically on its own – rightly named “Queen of the Alps”.

Free time for exploring this beautiful elegant resort or take the train to the higher plateau ( optional ) where you can eat your lunch looking at the Matterhorn. Time for a little shopping and then return to the coach by the rack railway. The return journey is again through magnificent alpine scenery with the sun at a different angle; over the Simplon Pass and back to Lake Maggiore .
