Switzerland Travel Guide

Have a taste of Italy, Germany and France

The diversity of the landlocked, mountainous country is the essence of Switzerland and gives the country its unique identity. Still, it is best known for its financial institutions, fine cheeses and chocolate, watch making industry, for its scenery and an excellent network of public transportation. Whether you want the majesty of the high Alps or a Mediterranean flair, a cosmopolitan city or unspoiled countryside: Every part of Switzerland has its own distinctive character. These regional variations are part of what makes Switzerland so special. In summer time, the marvellous nature in the Swiss mountain regions offers mountaineering, hiking, historic cities and culture, lakes and lots of fun will inspire singles, pensioners and families.

Located in the centre of the Alps, Switzerland is a winter destination with an enviable history of caring for our guests. Our many different resorts offer everything from tranquil car-free mountain villages to high action sport resorts where the party never stops. Switzerland’s cities want to seduce you into discovering something new or experiencing something old in a new way. So how about an exciting weekend break?. These days more and more people are finding that wellness is all the holiday they need. Find the perfect place and region to enchant you with paradisal wellness.

Tradition-conscious, open-minded and full of contrasts, Basel is regarded as one of Switzerland's centres for art, music and architecture. Thanks to its central location at the 'three-countries-corner' where Switzerland, Germany and France meet, the city on the elbow of the Rhine is also an important centre for fairs and congresses.

Lucerne, the gateway to central Switzerland, sited on Lake Lucerne, is embedded within an impressive mountainous panorama. Thanks to its attractions, its souvenir and watch shops, the beautiful lakeside setting and the nearby excursion mountains of the Rigi, Pilatus and Stanserhorn, the town is a destination for many travel groups and individuals on their journey through central Switzerland.

Not many cities have managed to retain their historic features quite as successfully as Bern, the capital of Switzerland. The old town of Bern has been entered in the list of UNESCO Cultural World Heritage Sites and thanks to its 6 kilometres of arcades - the locals refer to them as 'Lauben' - boasts on of the longest weather-sheltered shopping promenades in Europe.
