Swiss Summer Holidays

Wellness, watches and cheese are three things Switzerland does with class - and let’s not forget the chocolate - but there’s a lot more that makes this country worth visiting (even the flag’s a big plus...).

This is a nation of iconic peaks; the Matterhorn, Jungfrau and Eiger soar over the landscape, making hikes, climbs and bike rides as scenic as they get. The mountain villages have that classic ‘chocolate-box’ appeal - wake up to scenes straight from Heidi and hop on one of the high mountain trains to get from A to B.

Cycling and mountain biking holidays

With gentle paths, road climbs, singletrack and pro-standard parks, everyone from families to full-sus head-cam heroes will have a smashing time in Switzerland. Regardless of the destination or surface, the mountains are an ever present theme here: whether you’re riding alongside or up them, the peaks dominate the trails in Zermatt and the Lauterbrunnen valley.

The cycling here is very well organised: designated national and regional routes, split between cycling and MTB, traverse the country. Smaller rides (like the ones around Lake Lucerne) pack plenty of features in a short distance, while the Lugano trail and other big tours will see you zooming through meadows, roads and narrow paths while the scenery unfolds around you.

There are lots of gentler paths through parks and by lakes for a family bike ride. The added battery power of E-Bikes has proven a popular way to get around; with 400 rental stations around the country and some 5600 miles of well-marked bike paths, there’s plenty to pedal.

Walking holidays

It looks like Mother Nature built the Swiss countryside just for hikers – paths are strewn across the landscape, where walls of saw-toothed mountain ranges preside over flower-strewn valleys and deep Alpine lakes. Take advantage of the trains and lifts that make so much of the area accessible – even if you just want an easy wander with some sightseeing before going the easy way down.

Try out some stages on massive national routes, like the Alpine Panorama Trail which finishes up in Lake Geneva or have a go at a meticulously planned regional route like the one from Zermatt to Saas-Fee.

The valleys and lakeshores make a lovely setting for a simple stroll – far away from those gruelling hikes but still within view of their epic settings. Traipse along promenades from Montreux or Lugano or work up an appetite in the Lauterbrunnen valley – or countless others like it – before easing any hunger pangs with local delicacies like Gruyere cheese...
