What are the best ways to discover Switzerland?
From the iconic and fashionable Zermatt to the hidden gem of Saas-Fee, Switzerland plays host to some of the world’s best ski resorts. In the swish resort of St Moritz you also have the chance to hurtle down the Cresta Run or bobsleigh run, which makes an original – if hair-raising – change from the slopes. We also highly recommend a visit to Switzerland in summer, when the mountains become a haven for walkers and mountain bikers. We know the Swiss Alps extremely well, having travelled, worked and lived there over the years, and can recommend the best hotels, restaurants and activities for your Switzerland holidays.
Combine the best of Switzerland’s rural landscapes with a visit to its trendy capital, Bern, complete with UNESCO-listed medieval town centre and world-class museums. Situated alongside Europe’s largest lake, Switzerland’s second-city, Geneva, offers the ideal blend of urban and nature. Playing host to the headquarters of the World Trade Organisation and World Health Organisation, it’s the city has a slick professional exterior, but beneath this, you’ll find buzzing bars and boutique restaurants located in Les Grottes and the Quartier des Pâquis. Complete the trifecta of Swiss cities with Basal, a dream for art and architecture aficionados and location of the famed ART Basel festival.
