Why Switzerland?
Yodel-ay-hee-hoo! Your Swiss holiday is calling, and you won’t believe what it’s got in store. If you’re looking for an adventure that takes you river deep and mountain high, a holiday to Switzerland is just the ticket. From soaring snow-capped peaks to glistening turquoise lakes, this tiny country oozes spectacular scenery that puts the postcards to shame. Not convinced? Come and see for yourself!
Dominated by the Alps, Switzerland’s rocky terrain makes it the perfect playing field for nature lovers and winter sports enthusiasts alike. You’ll find first-rate ski resorts dotted all over, but St. Moritz’s Olympic credentials give it a truly unbeatable edge. Strap on your boots, pick your piste, and slide out onto the slopes, drinking in the snowy sights as you feel the icy breeze whip through your hair. Visiting in summer? Zermatt’s rolling hills and wildflower-carpeted meadows make it the ideal backdrop for a gentle hike, sneaky selfie, or even a scenic train journey.
If you’re not too busy admiring the stunning landscape, head to Switzerland’s upscale cities for a sprinkling of art, architecture, and mouth-watering cuisine. Famed for its cheese and chocolate, Switzerland is a foodie’s paradise. But sweet treats and fondue aren’t all the country has to offer, this landlocked nation is an absolute melting pot (pun 100% intended) of culture, people, and history. Count ancient fountains in Bern’s Old Town – there are over 100 to spot – or hit up Zurich’s world-famous nightclubs for a vibrant night on the tiles.
Wherever you go for your holiday in Switzerland, you’re sure to find amazing scenery and a bounty of activities at every turn. So grab your camera and get ready to make some memories.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to visit Switzerland?
If you’re looking to snowboard or ski, January and February are perfect. This is when temperatures are ice-cold and the snow is fresh. For hiking and sightseeing, it’s best to visit during the summer and shoulder months (May to September) when the days are longer and sunnier.
What languages are spoken in Switzerland?
Switzerland has four national languages – German, French, Italian, and Romansh – and each of these are spoken in different regions. Head north if you’re looking to practise your German, west if you’re more comfortable with French, or take a trip down south to give Italian a go.
Is Switzerland expensive to visit?
Switzerland is more expensive than some of its European neighbours, but it’s still possible to explore the country on a budget. Booking accommodation and tickets for attractions in advance will really help cut costs.
How easy is it to travel across Switzerland?
Travelling around Switzerland is insanely easy. Cities and towns are well connected by boats, buses, trams, and trains, and the country (as a whole) is extremely road-trippable if you’d rather rent a car.
