On vacation in Switzerland
A vacation in Switzerland is a great experience for those who love nature, good food, peace, and adventure. Visit the glaciers in the Alps of Valais and the Bernese Oberland or hike with a view of the world-famous Matterhorn. In Geneva, you can enjoy cheese fondue by the lake of the same name and explore the deep blue water with a SUP board or canoe. In the capital, Bern, you can stroll through the romantic, medieval old town and visit the former home of Albert Einstein. And while you can hike endlessly through Switzerland’s beautiful mountain landscape in summer, in winter you can really let loose on the ski slopes! In short, a vacation in Switzerland is incredibly versatile.
Responsible vacationing
A vacation in Switzerland is not only fun but also safe and responsible. Switzerland has implemented several measures to protect tourists in Switzerland, including social distancing and requesting phone data from groups of more than four people.
