Swiss Rail Tours

If you're going to see Switzerland, it seems inevitable that you'll take Swiss rail tours. There are so many incredible packages, and it's the sort of place that you'll seriously want to hang back and gasp while scenery whizzes by. The beauty of the land is so amazing that rail tours really make sense as part of your visit to Switzerland. Another great part of the Swiss rail tours is that they include other forms of transportation like lake steamers and city transportation. As a package, it makes sense.

The Swiss Rail Tours Guaranteed to Make You Fat
Remember I mentioned that there are many Swiss rail tours you can choose from? Here's one I thought you should know about. It shows you how cool these trips are. Lets start with the title: the Chocolate Train. Need I say more? You betcha. If it sounds too good to be true, that's because it just ... is that good.

You choose between riding a vintage train or an ultra-modern one. You'll be traveling from Montreux to the Alps and visiting a little medieval town in the middle, Gruyeres. You'll see beautiful vineyards and the breathtaking Alps. That's great, but how is that going to fatten me up, you ask? Shall we start with the free croissants and coffee served on the train? Fattening yet tasty.

Your ticket then includes admission to a cheese factory in Gruyeres. You know the Swiss and their cheese. If you don't, you will. Then as your tummy happily digests, you make your way to a chocolate factory. You know the Swiss and their chocolate. That's a lot of fat, though oddly not so high carb, so if you're into that, just watch the croissant.
