| Description |
Escape with us to greener pastures, where waterfalls tumble and soft-eyed cows graze. Where alpine lakes dazzle you with outrageous shades of blue and gondolas carry you within yodeling distance of glaciated peaks. And where a fine day's ride or hike brings the reward of hearty cuisine and gracious hospitality in truly spectacular surroundings. You'll even sleep in the shadow of Eiger's north face. And somehow, you won't quite believe what you see. An altitude-induced mirage? Just another moment of alpine bliss in Switzerland. |
Crisscrossing three countries, this whirlwind tour between two of Europe’s most celebrated capitals squeezes unique culture, delectable food and drink, stunning scenery, wild nightlife, and centuries of thrilling history into seven days without ever feeling rushed. Browse the galleries and museums of Paris and gape at the Swiss Alps' natural beauty, all for less than you’d ever dreamed possible. |
