FEATURED DESTINATION
SWITZERLAND
Mountains, Lakes, and Storybook Villages
Switzerland is one of those places where the scenery really does look as spectacular in person as it does in photographs. Snowcapped mountains rise above impossibly blue lakes, waterfalls tumble down sheer cliffs, and colorful villages sit tucked into green valleys. Add charming cities, incredible food and an exceptionally easy-to-navigate transportation system, and even getting from one place to another can become part of the experience.
But Switzerland isn’t only about admiring the view. Spend your days hiking through the Alps, cruising across pristine lakes, tasting chocolate and cheese, wandering medieval Old Towns or simply settling into a mountainside café and watching the world go by. You can fill your trip with adventure or slow things down with scenic train journeys, lakeside lunches and afternoons exploring picturesque villages.
Mountains, lakes, storybook villages and journeys where the view is half the fun — Switzerland is a destination that makes it wonderfully easy to experience a little bit of everything.

A FEW OF THE MOMENTS
What We Love to Weave In
Up to Pilatus
Glide above the mountains by gondola, stopping along the way for a thrilling ride down Switzerland’s longest summer toboggan run before continuing to the summit of Mount Pilatus. Take in sweeping views across Lake Lucerne and the Swiss Alps, linger over lunch high above the clouds, then make your way down aboard the world’s steepest cogwheel railway — because in Switzerland, even getting up and down the mountain is part of the adventure.
Sailing Through the Alps
Step aboard and watch the scenery unfold as you glide across the sparkling waters of Lake Lucerne, surrounded by mountain peaks, green hillsides and picturesque villages along the shore. Settle in with a drink, find a seat with a view, and simply enjoy the journey - one of those wonderfully unhurried moments when Switzerland seems to put on a show around you.
A Sweet Taste of Zermatt
Step inside a local Zermatt bakery and discover the story behind the Matterhörnli, a handcrafted chocolate creation inspired by the mountain towering above the village. Learn the art of Swiss chocolate making as you create your own - and leave with a delicious little Matterhorn to take home with you.
A Taste of the Swiss Countryside
Spend a day in the Swiss countryside, where cows graze on green hillsides and generations-old traditions are still part of everyday life. Visit a local dairy farm for a taste of fresh milk, discover the secrets behind famously tangy Appenzeller cheese, then ride high into the Alps for sweeping mountain views before wandering the colorful streets of Appenzell village.
Fondue Under the Stars
Follow a forest trail into the mountains above Zermatt, where a crackling fire and a local host are waiting beneath the night sky. Gather around the flames for traditional Swiss cheese fondue cooked over the open fire, surrounded by the quiet of the forest - a wonderfully cozy taste of Alpine life.
Adventure Above Grindewald
Ride the gondola high above Grindelwald and into a mountain playground surrounded by some of Switzerland’s most spectacular Alpine scenery. Soar through the air on the First Flyer or Glider, race down the mountain by cart or scooter, walk the dramatic First Cliff Walk, or hike to the impossibly picturesque Bachalpsee - choosing your own combination of adventure along the way.
