Chocolate Train

Add an extra touch of sweetness to your Swiss holiday

Beautiful scenery and tasty, world-famous chocolate make for an unforgettable experience as you travel on the Swiss Chocolate train. Your trip begins in Montreaux on the Swiss Riviera then takes you by train to Gruyeres, home to the renowned Gruyeres cheese.

Then it’s onward to Broc for a visit to the Cailler-Nestle chocolate factory where you’ll gnosh on delicious and delectable treats.
