Holidays to Switzerland

Although the majority of tourists come to Switzerland for a winter holiday, you shouldn't rule it out as a summer holiday destination. Famous for its delicious cheese, chocolate and premium watches, not forgetting the impressive Swiss Alps, perfect for taking advantage of for activities like skiing and snowboarding, Switzerland has so much to offer holidaymakers all year round.

Neighboured by France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Lichtenstein, landlocked Switzerland has thrived despite its lack of access to the world's oceans. The country doesn't need beaches as it has almost 7,000 idyllic lates edged by dense forest, including Lake Geneva, Western Europe’s largest lake, which boasts views rippling across clear water to the snow-capped Alps beyond, and Lake Lucerne, a picturesque and tranquil lake offering steamboat rides to give visitors a different perspective of the surrounding towns and mountains.
