My trip ended by catching the state-of-the-art GoldenPass Express train from Gstaad to Montreux - an 80-minute journey offering panoramic views of the Swiss Alps and valleys plus Lac Leman (Lake Geneva).

This route is included in the Swiss Travel Pass (see information box above right) and seated in prestige class - elevated in terms of height in the carriage and service - I tried out my heated leather seat, capable of rotating 180 degrees, before enjoying a cheese board and coffee.

Gazing out the window as I glided through this breathtaking scenery, I was offered one final reminder of how avoiding well-trodden paths, going out of the main season and taking in the sights at your own pace makes travel so much more satisfying.

positioned only several strokes away.

It's a short drive to Engstilgenalp where you can jump on a cable car and head above the second tallest waterfall in Switzerland, 1,969ft Engstilgenalp Falls.

A trip to the neighbouring town of Gstaad was next on the agenda. Famed for its old-world elegance, which has attracted the likes of Princess Diana and Madonna to the region, I enjoyed a taste of the finer things, checking in at the new Mansard Boutique Hotel.
