What beautiful country. And thanks for including a map.
Thank you so much Kathy. I’m glad you appreciated the map. I had to do a photoshop refresher in order to re-learn how to add the red circle!

Did you take any of the trains that was filmed in Von Ryan's Express or rode them along with photo any of the scenery from the movie?
We did ride the trains extensively bnsf. See my previous posts on Jungfrou, Gornergrat and The Glacier express.. I Think Von Ryan’s express was mainly filmed in Italy and Spain but I may be wrong.

We travel pretty exclusively with Tauck. This tour was “Switzerland, Europe’s Crown Jewel” https://www.tauck.com/tours/switzerland-escorted-tour?tcd=sw2021. It’s a bit pricy but if you calculated all of the costs separately, the totals would be fairly close. All of the hotels are 5 star and most meals are included as well as entry fees train tickets etc. The guides are also top notch and they visit places when they are less impacted. At this point in my life I’d rather not drive and some of the vistas I captured from the bus would have been impossible to get from a car unless your wife or a professional was driving. I’m sure you’ll love it no matter how you go. The Tauck link has a detailed itinerary.

Thanks so much for your input. We looked at the Tauck itinerary and thought it met are interests pretty well. However, it looked like a lot of relatively long bus rides and we thought we might want to consider something else. I am going to go back and look again because this may be the best answer to our travels.
Thanks so much, you were very helpful.

Excellent set, Mark. The Ganter Bridge is fascinating engineering. Haven't seen that construction method before.
