Wonderful program. I experienced Switzerland and its people by walking in the incredible, beautiful Alps. Much more than I expected.

Terrific program. Great variety of travel experiences: rail, bus, gondola, cable car, in addition to plain old walking. No pictures can do justice to the mountains. Every day was different, although most included rain. Bring warm clothes and good rain gear. Trip is a bargain, considering Swiss prices in general and cost of some individual items, such as cable car rides.

I agree with other reviewers that gentle is a misnomer,but Phil, our guide, did a good job of accommodating all our needs, interests and abilities. He helped create a cohesive, happy group. I recommend Hotel Allegra, rather than Best Western, if you want an extra day or two in Zurich. It's cheaper, nicer, and quieter. Katie

This is a good program but be aware this is actually a 5 masquerading as a level 4 rating. As our leader pointed out, there are no gentle paths in Switzerland!

This trip was entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable. Great companions. The program was eclectic, a good variety of food, information, interaction with locals, music and visual arts. Knowledgeable and considerate group leader and local guides.

There were no gentle walking paths in Switzerland for me on this trip, I found two of the walks more like #5 hikes. The group leader was one of the best I have had, the food and rooms were really good.

I forgot to say that I wish there were some easier walks in Europe. This was my maximum limit of effort and there are no others I would be able to do with Road Scholar. I am interested in walking Sicily or Scotland.
