Vacations to Switzerland

Where Fairytales Meet the Alps: Switzerland

Welcome to Switzerland, a country that effortlessly blends postcard-perfect landscapes with world-class efficiency. A vacation in Switzerland is a plunge into a real-life desktop background, think towering, snow-capped Alps, pristine sapphire lakes, charming medieval towns, and lush, rolling green valleys where the sound of cowbells truly is the background music. Switzerland is famed for its neutral politics, precision watches, luxurious chocolate, and excellent cheese, but it’s the sheer, breathtaking beauty of its natural wonders that will leave you truly speechless.

Iconic Wonders and Hidden Gems to Explore

Switzerland is a country of visual superlatives, where every traveler should check off the world-famous icons before venturing into the local secrets. The most celebrated wonders—the Matterhorn in Zermatt, the Jungfraujoch ("Top of Europe"), and Lucerne’s historic Chapel Bridge—are essential stops, offering views and experiences that define the Alpine ideal. But true magic lies in the lesser-known spots. For a genuine taste of serenity, escape the crowds and seek out Oeschinensee, a stunning turquoise alpine lake accessible via a gondola ride near Kandersteg, or the enchanting, car-free village of Gimmelwald in the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Trips & More More encourages you to mix your itinerary with these high-impact contrasts.

The Hearty and Diverse Cuisine of Switzerland

The foundation of the Swiss diet is cheese and potatoes, transforming simple, rustic ingredients into iconic, world-famous comfort foods. The must-try experience is communal dining with a classic Cheese Fondue (a pot of melted Gruyère and Vacherin cheeses, wine, and garlic for dipping bread) or Raclette (where cheese is melted and scraped onto potatoes, pickled onions, and gherkins). These dishes embody the spirit of sharing and warming up after a day in the cool Alpine air.

Regional Delicacies of Switzerland

Experiencing these regional delicacies is essential to truly understanding the diverse culture of the country. This regional diversity means a traveler can experience a radically different set of flavors by simply moving from one canton to the next. The German-speaking areas offer hearty comfort foods like Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (veal in a creamy mushroom sauce) paired with the signature Rösti (a crispy potato pancake). Moving west into French Switzerland (Romandy), the focus shifts to richness with specialties like Papet Vaudois (leek and potato mash with sausage) and the famous scraping of melted Raclette cheese. Finally, the sunny, Italian-speaking canton of Ticino transports diners to the Mediterranean with creamy Polenta, flavorful Risotto, and desserts featuring local chestnuts.

Activities for every adventurer

Switzerland is the adventure capital of Europe, offering various activities for every traveler. The entire country is a haven for hiking from the high-altitude Eiger Trail for experienced trekkers to gentler, scenic lakeside paths. Water sports thrive on the glacial rivers, with exhilarating River Rafting and the highly popular sport of Canyoning. In Winters, the adventure continues with world-class Skiing and Snowboarding in Zermatt and Verbier, along with unique activities like Tobogganing and guided Glacier Hikes on the vast Aletsch Glacier. No matter your preference, Trips & More More helps you find your perfect Swiss adventure.

Next is Zermatt, the car-free village defined by the unmistakable, pyramid shape of the Matterhorn, best viewed from the Gornergrat. Balancing the mountain drama is the serene beauty of Lucerne, famous for its medieval Chapel Bridge and its picturesque location on the lake.
