Switzerland
Overview
With breathtaking alpine landscapes, idyllic lakes and a wealth of picturesque towns to explore, a holiday in Switzerland is far more than just snow capped mountains. If you are a keen hiker, why not visit Grindelwald, complete with dramatic surroundings and dominated by the Eiger, or Wengen, which is only accessible by a scenic mountain railway ride. If this sounds too much like hard work, and you are simply looking for a cultural family holiday, why not take a trip to Interlaken, complete with charming street-side shops and cafes, or Lake Lucerne where you can learn about William Tell and the establishment of Swiss culture as we know it today, or perhaps Geneva, home to the United Nations. If it's a skiing holiday you're looking for, Switzerland provides some of the most beautiful backdrops to this rigorous outdoor pursuit. St Moritz and Zermatt are probably the two most popular of the first class skiing resorts in Switzerland, but with a wealth of accommodation opportunities in all the winter villages and numerous après ski activities to occupy all ages, a skiing holiday in Switzerland is just as satisfyingly exclusive as a summer holiday to this fabulous location. Please Note:Rail travel is not included in the price of your holiday.
