Embark on Switzerland tours for towering Alpine peaks reflected in sparkling lakes, breathtaking vistas, and medieval-era Old Towns brimming with character. Summer promises rolling grassy meadows with wildflowers and the gentle tinkling of bells from grazing cows. Winter is the realm of white landscapes of snow and ice, winter sports, and lively ski resorts.
Switzerland borders Italy, France, and Germany and depending on where you are, the language, food, and culture vary. One thing that doesn’t change is the Swiss focus on efficiency in areas well beyond their acclaimed watchmaking. Similarly, Enchanting Travels also curates and executes itineraries with great proficiency and attention to detail.
Switzerland is small and easy to travel around. In one day, you can be dipping into a pot of warm fondue with a view of the Matterhorn in the car-free resort town of Zermatt, and later admire thundering Rhine Falls on the German border. One of the highlights of Switzerland tours is a panoramic train journey through the Swiss Alps over mountain passes and viaducts, past snowy landscapes and villages dotted with timber chalets. Another is the glorious array of chocolates, cheeses, and wines this country produces.
Switzerland’s most famous city is Zurich, a happy blend of historic buildings like Grossmünster Church, with spires stretching skyward, a hilltop lookout tower at Uetliberg, and boutique chocolatiers. A walking tour is a good way to explore the capital of Bern. Its UNESCO-listed medieval center is filled with cobblestone streets, Renaissance fountains, and ornate arcades. Another pretty and entirely walkable city is Lucerne, with its magical Chapel Bridge and baroque Jesuit Church. When in Geneva, roam the old city, but also go trout fishing, or hike/cycle trails through the vineyards of Lavaux, on Lake Geneva’s northern shores.
Swiss cities may be known for their museums, architecture, and art galleries but you’re never far from the main draw—the countryside and mountains. Take a gondola to peaks like Jungfraujoch, Titlis, Schilthorn, or Pilatus for phenomenal views of the Alps, glaciers, lakes, and forests. Wherever your interests lie, in the outdoor adventures of Interlaken, a jazz festival in Montreux, or touring a cheesemaking facility in Gruyeres, Enchanting Travels experts are standing by to take you there.

Enchanting Travels planned our most memorable vacation yet, a 10 day trip to France and Switzerland. My husband and I got to have our baby-moon in France and it was a trip that incorporated our love for the macabre, good food, and allowed us the flexibility to plan around family time. Thanks so much to the team who made this possible!
