Why Switzerland
Why travel to Switzerland
Compact and spectacular, Switzerland packs glacier peaks, mirror-like lakes, scenic railways and storybook towns into a country you can cross in a day. Here is what to expect on the ground.
What's the weather like?
Switzerland has an alpine, temperate climate. Summers in the valleys are pleasant, often 18–28°C, and ideal for hiking, while the high mountains stay cool. Winters are cold and snowy — prime ski season.

- Hike beneath the Matterhorn or in the Jungfrau region
- Cruise an alpine lake and taste wine in the Lavaux terraces
Dishes to try
- Fondue — melted cheese with bread
- Raclette — melted cheese over potatoes

Top places to visit in Switzerland
From the Matterhorn to lakeside towns and glacier railways, these are the landscapes our Switzerland expedition is built around.
Lucerne
A lakeside town of a wooden covered bridge and old-town squares, beneath Mount Pilatus and Rigi.
Jungfrau Region
The Bernese Oberland's giants — the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau — above Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen.
Lake Geneva
A crescent lake edged by the terraced Lavaux vineyards and the lakeside Château de Chillon.
Bern
The medieval capital, its arcaded old town looping inside a bend of the Aare river — a UNESCO site.
Glacier Express
One of the world's most scenic rail journeys, winding past glaciers and viaducts through the high Alps.
