Famous for its ravishing outdoors, you'll find here history, culture, shops - and chocolate - below the snow-capped peaks or beside tranquil lakes. Get there in no time at all with direct SWISS flights to Geneva and Zurich.



Travel into Switzerland from Geneva and you won't be able to avoid the namesake lake. Nor would you want to. Lake Geneva is host to the vineyard clad slopes around Vevey, alpine forests behind, the lake in the foreground and the snowy Alps in the background. Whether you choose car or public transport, you'll find travelling around Switzerland a breeze. Continue on and you soon arrive in the picturesque town of Montreaux, home of the famous jazz festival. Head south and stand at the foot of the famous Matterhorn and gaze off to Mont Blanc in the distance.

Make a beeline for the medieval city of Lucerne. You won't want to miss the photographer-pleasing Chapel Bridge. This is the gateway to central Switzerland, an area so achingly beautiful you'll find yourself stopping and staring at the scenery over and over again. The Jungfrau region is the highlight here: disembark the train at Europe's highest station and wander around a glacier, take a cable car to the revolving restaurant atop Schilthorn mountain and silently thank Swiss engineering for delivering you to some of the most incredible scenery on Earth.
