What travelers are saying

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

What travelers are saying

"The trip was well laid out. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. The only complaint is some of our travel documents that were sent out were not in English. If your sending documents out correspondence should be in both the native language and the language of the people the correspondence to. Other than that a great first time experience."

Switzerland Tour Selection Trips

  • If you want to experience the best of Switzerland, look for tours that include several different types of transportation, including trains, scenic boat rides, and mountain funiculars, all spectacular.
  • Be sure to bring a cell phone or accurate watch: everything leaves on time in Switzerland.
  • If you’re planning on doing some hiking - which you absolutely should, as Switzerland is second to none when it comes to hiking trails and views -  Pack some hiking sticks.
  • Switzerland is not a member of the EU, and still uses Swiss francs as its currency, not the euro.
  • Switzerland is expensive, but a guided tour should ease the cost somewhat – and it’s worth the price in any event.
  • Some tours include side trips to tiny Liechtenstein – a nice, quick stop.
  • Many longer Switzerland tours also visit France, Italy, Austria, and Germany.
  • Lodge stays are a common accommodation type on Switzerland tours. Because it is a mountainous country, prepare accordingly for temperature fluctuations!
  • One often overlooked – but gorgeous -- area of Switzerland is the Interlaken-Wengen region, in the shadow of the Jungfrau; if you see a tour there, grab it.
  • Keep in mind that Switzerland is culturally and linguistically divided into three regions: German, French and Italian, so you may choose tours that visit all three or focus on one or two.

Additional details

Currency in Switzerland

Switzerland uses the Swiss franc. 1 Swiss franc is equal to 1.02 US dollars.

Is Switzerland expensive?

Switzerland has been rated the most expensive country in the world to visit. That said, a budget trip to Switzerland is far from impossible-- there are many nice, clean hostels and smaller hotels for inexpensive accommodation, and train travel is relatively cheap.

If you’re planning on skiing, there are many discounts for ski pass and hotel combinations. Keep on the lookout for train and hotel deals and avoid expensive activities like paragliding and helicopter tours to save money in Switzerland. 

Who will enjoy traveling in Switzerland?

Switzerland is a great travel destination for all ages, but the perfect itinerary will depend on age, travel style, and physical abilities. Outdoor enthusiasts will never run out of opportunities for hiking, skiing, kayaking, and other activities in Switzerland, but there are also many nice museums, restaurants, spas, and resorts for those who prefer to take it easy.

Families will benefit from the never-ending list of things to do and the ease of transportation. Despite Switzerland’s reputation for being expensive, it is also a very popular destination for young students and backpackers who want a safe, beautiful, and accessible destination. Because of its safety and ease of travel, it is very popular among solo female travelers.

Winter Vacations in Switzerland

Best Cross Country Ski Trips in Switzerland

If you are interested in cross country skiing, consider a guided tour that will take you off a basic trail, and lead you from country to country. For example, ski the Jura mountains from Switzerland to France in 8 days. If you’re a competitive cross country skier and don’t want to worry about logistics on top of your physical preparation, Stride can connect you with trips that include the Engadin Ski Marathon.

If you’re not into skiing, get your Winter thrill at the Bergün toboggan run - one of the unique opportunities to experience this classic Olympic sport. There are also dozens of other activities -- for example, have a meal in the Parsenn igloo village, go ice skating, or head to Schönbühl Spa, the largest brine spa in the world, to warm up.

Switzerland’s Winter Weather

Despite all of the snow, Switzerland’s winters are known for being very palatable, just hovering around freezing in the lowlands. Although colder in the mountains, it is actually sunnier in the winter in Switzerland. For this reason, many skiers and hikers know the delight of stripping off a jacket and hitting the slopes in nothing but a few layers and a wool sweater. The experience is like no other.

Summer Activities in Switzerland

Summer Skiing

If you missed the winter ski season, don’t worry too! Switzerland is one of the only countries where you can continue to ski the Alps in the summer. Several resorts in Switzerland, including Zermaat, Saas Fee, and Verbier, all offer summer skiing packages. Although it’s still warm out, glaciers keep the ground cool and prevent the winter snow from melting away the way. And if you thought it was warm skiing in the winter, imagine being able to ski while wearing a T shirt!

Just remember to pack a good pair of goggles and some sunscreen, the light reflecting off the snow can be very strong.

Electric Biking

If you think Switzerland’s hilly outcrops may not seem like the best place for a bike tour, think again. With the invention of electric bikes, which help give you a significant boost when pedalling, biking Switzerland’s beautiful hills and valleys is a lot more doable and accessible for everyone. Maximize your time in the Alps by going on an E-Bike Tour

Discounted Switzerland Vacations

Yes, Switzerland is one of the expensive countries in the world. With that being said, there is also more than one way to travel Switzerland on a budget. One of the best ways to save money is to cut back on your lodging. Rather staying in the fanciest Swiss chalet, give up your sauna and check out the tours that offer Basic accommodation.

There are also many free attractions in Switzerland’s cities. Take the free time on your tours to see Bern’s old town, Bellinzona’s three castles, and the permanent collection in Künsthaus Zurich.

Choosing your Switzerland Tour

Switzerland is a destination that appeals to outdoor types, however it’s also famous for resorts and Premium or Luxury travel. Sometimes these are even combined! So there is a fantastic variety of tours to choose from for traveling in Switzerland, in a wide range of budgets.

If you enjoy walking and hiking, especially in the Easy to Moderate realm, you’re sure to find a Switzerland tour to your liking. Most Switzerland tours are active yet easy. And you’ll enjoy beautiful invigorating mountain air, and delightful hospitality throughout your tour.
