Switzerland

Switzerland is a spectacular Alpine destination where snow-capped peaks, emerald valleys, clear lakes and beautifully preserved towns sit within easy reach of one another. Lucerne, Interlaken, Zermatt and the Bernese Oberland combine mountain scenery with scenic railways, cable cars, lakeside promenades and family-friendly experiences. Swiss culture blends German, French and Italian influences, while fondue, raclette, rösti, chocolate and excellent bakeries are part of the journey. It is especially rewarding for scenic train travel, road trips, winter holidays and relaxed nature-focused itineraries.
