Travel Map

Day 1: Zurich (1 Nights)

Being a city in a historically neutral country means that the medieval centre of Zurich is untouched by war damage, unlike many of its European neighbours. The city has a lot more going for it than the banks it is associated with and a walk along the picturesque lake Zurich is a must.

Day 2: St Moritz (1 Nights)

St Moritz is one of Europe’s most glamorous skiing and outdoors destinations – bask in the glorious sunshine in summer, or take advantage of powder white snow and clear skies in the winter months.

Day 3-4: Zermatt (2 Nights)

Overlooked by the iconic Matterhorn, Zermatt is the quintessential Swiss town – flanked on both sides by some of the regions highest peaks. Spend your days hiking the region, or take a cable car up to the glorious Glacier Paradise viewing point.

It’s wooden lod...

Day 5-6: Interlaken (2 Nights)

Interlaken is truly a hidden Swiss gem, a pretty little town nestled in between two gorgeous lakes and a valley of three snow-capped peaks, it has earned a reputation for adventure sports like paragliding and an exciting apres-ski scene to rival that of any other Alpine resort.

Day 7: Zurich (0 Nights)

Being a city in a historically neutral country means that the medieval centre of Zurich is untouched by war damage, unlike many of its European neighbours. The city has a lot more going for it than the banks it is associated with and a walk along the picturesque lake Zurich is a must.
