Switzerland

Where high mountain peaks and lakes define alpine luxury

A carriage drawn by two horses travels through the snow-covered landscape. Behind it lie ice-formed facades that are close enough to touch, making you think that the land has been magically transformed into ice. Discover many more ice sculptures that the Matterhorn glacier has in store for you and write your own personal fairy tale. Enjoy the unique panorama at Europe's highest mountain station at an altitude of almost 4,000 meters, while a total of 38 giants stretch up into the sky around the world-famous Matterhorn.

Round trips in Switzerland

The steam locomotive, breathing heavily and hissing, makes its way along the rock face and finally reaches the gigantic viaduct that spans a wide valley. As you look out of the window, you will discover numerous mountains stretching majestically into the sky and framed by coniferous forests. Let this train journey transport you back to a time when the country was crisscrossed by puffing steam engines, far removed from luxury and industry. In addition to the magnificent Alpine landscape, which is guaranteed to enchant you, the many other Swiss cities also have their own unique charm that will capture your heart.

Perhaps your journey in Switzerland will also take you to Lugano. Here you can discover the deep blue lake and the gigantic Ticino mountains stretching along the opposite shore. Take the opportunity to stroll along the lake promenade. In the city of Zurich, however, the country presents itself from a completely different angle. Marvel at the colorful stained glass windows in the Fraumünster church or enjoy a shopping spree in the wide range of boutiques that line the streets alongside numerous jewelry stores. From here, you can also visit the picturesque old town, which is known for its elegant flair. Choose a place to stay with a breathtaking view of the Alps or nestled in one of Switzerland's many cities and make your luxury vacation in Switzerland unforgettable.

Pause, take a breath: stop gently at the edge of the ski slope to let your gaze wander in peace. The mighty mountain peaks around you are covered in a heavenly white blanket of snow, while the blue sky shines above you. Here, high up in the Swiss Alps, pure winter sports pleasure meets an incomparable panorama that offers great recreational value in itself. The après-ski is also something special, as your luxury hotel in Switzerland has many amenities in store for you: Would you like to pamper yourself with an intensive massage, warm your body to the core in the steam bath, or relax and feast in the restaurant? You are sure to find a way to round off an already wonderful day in style. But it's not even lunchtime yet, so you can continue your descent at your leisure, full of joy at your successful vacation. Perhaps you'll take part in a winter sleigh ride later, or simply sink into the private spa, close your eyes, and enjoy a time of complete relaxation: the choice is yours!

It's not just during the cold season that this small country in the heart of Europe pulls out all the stops; spring, summer, and fall are also wonderful times to visit. A trip to the mighty Matterhorn, for example, takes you to one of the world's most impressive mountains, and the Rhine Falls in Schaffhausen are another major attraction that visitors will never forget. Lake Lucerne is considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, and from Mount Pilatus you can enjoy a wonderful view of the blue waters. Around 10,000 years ago, the Flims landslide created a completely different Swiss landscape: the picturesque Rhine Gorge with its numerous nature trails and wonderful viewing platforms. This extraordinary area can be explored in various ways: on foot, by bike, by water, or comfortably by train. Perhaps you will add these attractions to your list when you book your vacation at one of our luxury hotels in Switzerland – or you can enjoy the many other highlights that will enrich your vacation.
