Switzerland

Switzerland is far more varied than its immaculate alpine image suggests.

Beyond its celebrated peaks and lakes lies a country of remarkable contrasts. Scenic rail journeys lead into remote mountain villages, vineyard-covered hillsides sit within easy reach of cosmopolitan cities, and some of Switzerland’s most memorable experiences are found beneath the mountains, above the valleys or far from the usual routes.

Cruise privately across Lake Lucerne, walk inside the mountain at the thunderous Trümmelbach Falls, or climb above Appenzell to the Wildkirchli caves before lunch in a traditional alpine setting. Elsewhere, natural thermal waters flow through the mountainside at Saillon, centuries-old monastic estates continue their winemaking traditions, and the clear blue waters of Blausee create an unexpectedly peaceful retreat.

WEKA designs Switzerland around these contrasts. Panoramic rail journeys and exceptional mountain hotels may form part of the experience, but so too can private boats, remote trails, local producers and places that require careful timing and knowledge to reach well. Every itinerary is shaped around the season, the region and the way each guest wants to experience the country.
