With Switzerland just a short trip away, this tour makes the most of the gems on Lake Maggiore's doorstep. You'll embark on a journey through the Ossola Valley to reach the Swiss resort of Zermatt, presided over by the iconic peak of the Matterhorn.

You'll need to have your camera handy on this tour as you'll be winding your way from the shores of Lake Maggiore and up through the Ossola Valley. You'll have plenty of time to soak up the scenery and grab a few snaps before taking the rack and pinion railway to the chic Swiss resort of Zermatt, your destination for the day.

Wander the clusters of wooden chalets, enjoy a typical Swiss lunch, and admire the sight you'll not be able to take your eyes off – the Matterhorn. Its jagged, fin-like peak can be seen from all around, and if you want to take a closer look, you're in just the right place to hop on to the Sunnegga Mountain Metro. It takes you to the panoramic Sunnegga Plateau, where you get really special views of the Matterhorn.
