Women on Wanderlust is gearing up for a trip up the snowy Alps
|
Women on Wanderlust is making cool plans for summer with a tour to the Swiss Alps, from Delhi, from June 29 to July 5. The six nights/seven days tour takes you to Zurich-Interlaken-Zermatt-Luzern-Zurich.
Interlaken is a small city in the Bernese Highlands Region of central Switzerland.
Located between two Alpine Lakes (Brienz and Thun), Interlaken is a popular base camp for outdoor sports and travel in the surrounding Bernese Oberland Alps.
The tour also includes an excursion to Jungfraujoch, with a Swiss lunch on top of the Swiss Alps. Some of Switzerland’s most magnificent views are found around the snow-capped peaks of the Jungfrau (13,643 ft/ 4158m), Mönch (13,449 ft/ 4099m) and Eiger (13,026 ft/ 3970m), their rugged flanks made even more awe-inspiring by the greens and golds of nearby hills and valleys.
The highest railway in Europe cuts through both the Eiger and the Mönch before terminating at the tip of the majestic Jungfraujoch.
Zermatt is famed as a mountaineering and ski resort. Until the mid-19th century, it was predominantly an agricultural community — its name, as well as that of the Matterhorn itself, derive from the alpine meadows, or matten, in the valley. In the German language, the town is “Zur Matte”, or “in the meadow”.
The town was “discovered” mid-century by British mountaineers, most notably Edward Whymper, whose conquest of the Matterhorn made the village famous.
To prevent air pollution, which could disfigure the town’s view of the Matterhorn, the entire town is a combustion-engine car-free zone, therefore you are largely on foot.
Travel on the Glacier Express to Andermatt, board a train to Luzerne. Tour Lake Luzerne, Lion monument and Chapel Bridge. Luzerne, an hour south of Basel and Zurich, and boasting invigorating mountain views, lake cruises and a picturesque old quarter, it’s long been one of Europe’s most heavily visited towns.
The package costs approximately Rs. 1,11,125. To book yourself on the tour courier an at par cheque or draft in favour of WOW CLUB for Rs. 38,000 and send it to Sumitra Senapaty, D 703 Anandlok CGHS, Mayur Vihar, Phase 1, New Delhi 91.
All balance payments and documentation for visa should reach latest by May 25.
There’s an early bird offer — pay the whole amount by May 5 and get Rs. 5,000 off.
