Not Just Travelling

Switzerland enjoys great weather throughout the year. With four distinct seasons – summer, spring, autumn and winter, the best time will depend on what you'll like to do in the country. If you are looking at an exclusive ski trip, the best season to book Switzerland tour packages is December to March.

It's also important to note that some areas such as Basel don't experience snow at all and the best time to visit low-lying areas would be spring.

Summer in the country is quite mild with daylight until almost 9.30 pm. This is the time when Switzerland tour packages are reasonably priced for travellers to enjoy hiking and outdoor activities including camping. The best time to visit Switzerland in summer is from April to July.

Swiss vistas, picturesque sunsets and gorgeous views have always been a favourite with newly-weds and couples. It’s no surprise then that a Switzerland package for couples is one of the best ways to enjoy your Switzerland holiday. Owing to the surreal natural beauty, spending time outdoors is highly recommended when in Switzerland. While your resort definitely might be a refuge of comfort and luxury, do step out to get a little sun.

If you are looking to rekindle your romance or are starting a new relationship, you can strengthen your bond by participating in couple-focussed tours and activities. For exclusively couple experiences, the country is popular for charming wine tasting tours, hiking trips and spa treatments – all of which can be included in Switzerland tour packages.

If you are planning a trip to Switzerland with your family, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the number of child-friendly experiences available. Ensure that you book a Switzerland tour package that is customised according to the needs and preferences of your little one. Our top recommendations include a trip to Swiss National Park, Basel Zoo and of course, an elementary class to learn the basics of skiing!

Local cuisine in Switzerland can be best defined as simple and flavoursome. Influenced by the Italian and German cuisines, the Swiss have largely remained true to their roots with minimum tampering.

Of course, the country does offer a variety of cuisines and is home to some popular restaurants but if you'd like to experience the original Swiss cuisine, you better prepare yourself for a cheesy treat. Cheese fondue, rösti which is potato pancake and carac definitely need to be on the list. We also recommend including a trip to some homegrown bakeries in your Switzerland tour package.

Älplermagronen is another popular dish served in Switzerland which is especially popular in local restaurants. Prepared using potatoes, cheese, macaroni and onions, it is served with stewed apples. Vegetarians are usually apprehensive about travelling to Europe due to limited food options, but Switzerland offers a fulfilling gastronomical journey with umpteen vegetarian dishes.
