Switzerland Travel

Our writers explore Switzerland from the family-farmed vineyards on the shores of Lake Geneva to culture in Zurich. We visit the Montreux Jazz Festival, Geneva Auto Salon, and wine festivals. We look at bears in Bern and play with St Bernard puppies in Martigny. Endless hiking and skiing opportunities abound in the Alps, where accommodation ranges from opulent spas and five-star resorts to modest internet-free mountain huts. We enjoy spectacular cable car rides, train journeys, rack railways, and steamboat cruises – all at half price. Switzerland is more than just mountains and tired clichés.
