SWITZERLAND
A heart-soaring medley of charming villages, artsy urban cities and adrenaline-fuelled fun – experience the adventure of a lifetime on a luxury holiday in sensational Switzerland.
Against the stunning backdrop of the Swiss Alps, medieval towns and delightful hamlets weave their way between sleek urban cities and sweeping farmlands.
Still very much in tune with the agricultural calendar, little villages remain steeped in Alpine tradition and brim with folklore tales and festivals of alphorn music and flag throwing. Here you can browse the traditional woodcarving and ceramics stalls while sampling locally produced cheeses and chocolates. Urban cities, meanwhile, offer up a fascinating mixture of castles and cutting-edge architecture and the streets are thriving with live gigs and cosmopolitan bars. A fine reflection of how this multilingual country has been influenced by its neighbours over the years.
It is for its great outdoor adventures, however, that Switzerland is best known. Vast rolling green hills and majestic blue lakes are perfect for mountain biking and whitewater-rafting - while the high-altitude alps are host to world-famous ski resorts and perfect pistes against breathtaking scenery.
A delectable chocolate box of alpine treats await!
