Whizz through the snowy scenery of Switzerland and France on the Mont Blanc Express and enjoy turquoise lakes and postcard-perfect villages

The Alpine views of Switzerland and France are simply spectacular, and you'll have the perfect opportunity to soak them in on this six-day trip. You'll ride the Mont Blanc Express, where you'll see lovely landscapes as you travel from Gervais-les-Bains to Chamonix on one of the world's most famous mountain railways.

There'll be plenty of time to explore the many quaint French towns in the area and wander along the shores of Lake Annecy, enjoying the serenity of its waters. You'll spend a day in Aix-les-Bains, one of Europe's most fashionable destinations where you can relax on golden sandy beaches and enjoy a spot of shopping.

Accommodation for tours departing in 2023 is the lovely four-star Hotel Beauregard in the Aravis mountain range in La Clusaz; breathe in the wonderfully fresh air of the French Alps and spend your free time in the heated pool, Turkish bath, sauna or solarium. Kick back with a glass of wine in one of the stylish lounges, or sit out on the terrace and admire the views.

If your tour departs in 2024, you will stay at the welcoming Sowell Hotels Mont Blanc et Spa in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, in a stunning location facing the Mont Blanc massif. You're not far from the centre of town, so you have easy access to its shops and amenities. Relax in the Eliospa Spa or dip your toes in heated outdoor pool; there's also a sauna, hammam or jacuzzi to enjoy.
