Switzerland Tours and Trips

With some of the best hiking in all of Europe, this 9-day Swiss adventure is a hiker's paradise. With its lyrical landscapes, soaring peaks and lush, green valleys, the Swiss Alps are a mountain playground for climbers and hikers from around the world. We tread in the footsteps of legends like Messner and Mallory on a vigorous trip that takes us from tumbling waterfalls to meandering streams and quaint alpine villages. Traverse classic routes from the Bernese Oberland, home to the legendary mountain trio of Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, to the jagged Matterhorn. Follow the famous Alpine Pass Route via tranquil Spielbodenalp and onto the Rotstockhütte, where we stop to take in the view and enjoy refreshments. Each day offers a chance to experience a classic Swiss scene: stunning glaciers and crests, charming village homes dotted with colorful flower boxes, and the faint tinkling of cowbells in the clear mountain air. We travel in comfort between two stylish resort villages, Grindelwald and Zermatt, where we enjoy superb cuisine, famous Swiss chocolates, and newfound adventure comrades.

Three Alpine countries, countless mountain scenes and spectacular adventure make this an incredible 13-day journey around the highest peak in Western Europe. After settling in delightful Chamonix, we begin our journey on a trail beneath the Aiguilles Rouges, a crystalline mountain massif opposite the Mont Blanc range. The course of our adventure will take us nearly 100 miles equipped with only a light pack. We navigate around the sparkling glaciers, crossing borders by foot and traversing upon village after village to take in each picture-perfect landscape. Along the way, explore the charm and cuisine of French, Swiss and Italian cultures. About halfway through our journey, we hike right from our hotel to La Montagne de la Saxe, where magnificent views of the Grandes Jorasses and the Italian side of Mont Blanc can be seen soaring high into the horizon. Enjoy the dramatic landscape with a warm drink as the sun dips low in the sky. Cap each night off with a hearty meal, good conversation and a restful hotel stay nestled among the legendary mountain scenery. Tight on time? Consider our new Tour du Mont Blanc Express trip. Experience many of the same great hikes and locations on our 8-day version of this European classic!

Extensive enough to see plenty, but not so long that your plants are doomed, these often-skipped villages and cities are ones you'll miss as soon as you leave.

Circling the highest peak in Western Europe, this eight-day hike serves up spectacular scenery and spans three alpine countries. We’ve distilled the Tour Du Mont Blanc Classic trip for people with limited time who don’t want to compromise on experience. Setting off from the legendary mountain village of Chamonix, we hike beneath the Bionnassay Glacier to the Col du Tricot, pausing along the way to take in storybook scenery straight out of The Sound of Music. We hike with light packs and spend each night feasting, laughing and resting in hotel comfort. Savor meadows and villages, glaciers and spires, and the charm and cuisine of French, Swiss and Italian cultures. About halfway through our journey, as we make our way to Courmayeur, we behold the dramatic southern face of the Mont Blanc massif from the Italian side. Our journey continues to the Grand Col Ferret, the dramatic mountain pass between Italy and Switzerland. Finally, the La Flégère cable car carries us gently down into the valley to Chamonix, where we celebrate our journey with a hearty meal and a warm drink as the sun dips low in the sky.

From glacial lakes to snow-capped peaks, from gooey cheese to handmade chocolate, Switzerland abounds in treasures and treats. This may be one of the few neutral countries in the world, but you won't leave Switzerland feeling anything but positive about your experience. This small nation packs a big punch with friendly, non-punching locals, incredible mountain scenery and a luxurious gastro scene that priorities cheese. Start in Zurich then head to historic St Gallen, lakeside Lucerne, adrenaline-filled Interlaken and cheese-obsessed Gruyeres before finishing in the nation's capital, Bern. From picture-perfect towns to awe-inspiring peaks, you'll get the best of the indoors and the outdoors during this ten-day trip.
