Switzerland holidays

Holidays to Switzerland are all about mountains, lakes and heritage-soaked cities, all linked by a transport system that you could set your watch to.

A great track record

Switzerland is a land of railways. In the mountains, you can chug-chug up to the Schynige Platte peak to explore the Alpine Garden, or ride the Jungfrau train up to the highest station in Europe at 3,454m. And since all our transfers to the resorts are by Swiss Rail too, you'll be able to experience the trains from the moment you arrive wherever you’re staying. Plus, you can use your Swiss Half Fare Card to get up to 50% off tickets during your stay.

So much to see

Villages like Zermatt, Grindelwald and Wengen serve up that classic alpine experience. We’re talking cuckoo-clock chalets, clinking cow bells and mountain backdrops. Zermatt is a showstopper, with the Matterhorn towering above and car-free streets packed with cosy restaurants and boutique shops. The famous north face of the Eiger and surrounding 4,000m peaks is all you need to inspire your own adventurous activities from Grindelwald, while Wengen offers a quieter pace and postcard views across the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Over in the Engadin region, St Moritz stands out for its 5-star stays, designer boutiques and chic café culture. Just nearby, Pontresina offers a slower rhythm, with traditional Engadin charm and glacier-draped peaks on the doorstep.

Super Swiss lakes

Switzerland’s lakes are some of the most picturesque in Europe, framed by snow-capped peaks, forested slopes and elegant waterfront towns. Lucerne combines historic charm with a stunning setting, where paddle steamers glide across the lake and medieval towers overlook the water. Interlaken sits between the turquoise tones of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, and pairs tranquil lakeside moments with easy access to the mountains. Further south, stylish Lugano brings a touch of the Mediterranean, with palm-lined promenades and piazzas set beside a glittering lake. And on the Swiss side of Lake Maggiore, the towns of Ascona and Locarno offer a similar blend of Italian flair and alpine calm – ideal for a relaxing lakeside getaway.
