About Switzerland Tours

Switzerland is a landlocked mountainous country bordered by Germany, France, Italy and Austria. Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about touring Switzerland is the Swiss Alps. Ski enthusiasts from around the world gather at some of the world’s most famous ski resorts to experience the rush of dominating the massive peaks.

A tour of Switzerland, however, is also lovely in the summer, especially from June to August when the weather is warmest. May and October on the other hand can be quite damp, so tours are less popular during these months. It’s the perfect time for hikers and mountain climbers to tour Switzerland.

You’ll find lots of great food in Switzerland, a lot of which are made with potatoes and cheese (Rösti, Fondue, and Raclette). And let’s not forget the famous Swiss cheese and Swiss chocolate!

Visitors find train travel to be a highly efficient and easy way to tour Switzerland. Travel from the capital, Zurich, which is the largest city in Switzerland, and on to Lucerne, a picturesque city nestled in the mountains. Then take a cogwheel train up Mount Pilatus for spectacular scenery. Then back down to Zermatt, a lively “car-free” village resting at the base of the famous Matterhorn Mountain. Here you’ll find first-class hotels, restaurants and shopping.

A typical Swiss tour is about 7 to 14 days long, although shorter and longer tours are available. During your tour of Switzerland be sure to visit the quaint Italian region of Lugano, where the Alps meet the Mediterranean. It is considered to be one of the prettiest cities in the country.
