About This Tour

A 13-day luxury circuit through Zürich, Lucerne, and Lugano in Switzerland, across Lake Como in Italy, and into St. Anton am Arlberg and Bregenz in Austria, with 5-star hotels throughout. Adapted from a self-drive itinerary — Voyzo runs this route with your own private driver and vehicle instead of a rental car. This is a three-country trip: 6 of the 12 nights are in Switzerland (Zürich, Lucerne, and Lugano), 2 nights are in Italy (Menaggio, on Lake Como), and 4 nights are in Austria (St. Anton am Arlberg and Bregenz), before the route returns to Zürich for departure.
