From lakeside castles and storybook villages to alpine peaks and glacier trails, our 12-day Switzerland adventure was a journey through every corner of Swiss beauty. We began along the shores of Lake Geneva, exploring medieval fortresses like Chillon, Nyon, and Aigle, sampling wine in Chexbres, and visiting the legendary Gruyères hilltown for a taste of traditional cheesemaking. A quick stop in Geneva took us to the world-renowned CERN, while Bern impressed with its Old Town and bears along the riverside. From there, we ventured into the Bernese Oberland, where Mürren became our mountain base for paragliding over the Lauterbrunnen Valley, tackling the thrilling via ferrata to Gimmelwald, revolving at the Schiltorn Piz Gloria, and biking past iconic waterfalls and alpine trails. Continuing through Lauterbrunnen, we hiked scenic routes like the Männlichen Panorama Trail, Eiger Trail, and Schynige Platte to First, then admired Oeschinensee’s turquoise waters. In Zermatt, we chased the Matterhorn from every angle – along the 5-Lakes and Glacier Trails, and on the unforgettable descent from Gornergrat to Riffelsee. We closed our Swiss journey in Lucerne, strolling the Chapel Bridge and Altstadt as the sun set over Lake Lucerne – before ending with bikes and canals in Amsterdam. Join us as we journey through Switzerland region by region – featuring detailed itineraries, practical tips, breathtaking photos, and our favorite moments from one of the most spectacular destinations on earth.
