6 Rhine Falls Switzerland for all seasons Find stunning scenery all year round The Swiss landscape changes dramatically from season to season. If you are familiar with green mountains and sparkling lakes, try visiting when a gentle blanket of the whitest snow covers the land as far as the eye can see. Spring and autumn are just as entrancing and have the added benefit of the resorts being relatively quiet. Throughout this brochure you will find resorts and hotels which offer a delightfully different experience with the changing seasons. While the Swiss alpine villages are famous for their winter sports, even non-skiers can enjoy a fabulous holiday in this stunning landscape, with prepared walking trails and plenty of mountain restaurants. There are some elements to bear in mind when planning your holiday such as the fact that some hotels have a minimum stay requirement during the winter. In the weeks between the summer and ski periods, many cable cars do not operate - this is usually April-May and October-November, but will vary by location. Equally, some excursions do not operate year round, as indicated throughout the brochure and on our website. Some of the scenic rail journeys have seasonal operating dates (see pages 12-15) and lake cruises may have fewer departures in the winter. We recommend checking details before booking; our knowledgeable team will be glad to assist. Lucerne 6 Much more online at

7 Spring Spring in the mountains The actual timing of spring varies according to where you stay. In the warmest climes of the Ticino region, you will find vibrant camellias blooming in March, while in the mountain resorts it can be late May to early June before the delicate alpine flowers open up and the snows retreat to the uppermost peaks. The Lake Geneva region offers memorable spring walks through narcissus fields and newly lush vineyards. Easter is a great time to visit throughout the country, with some warmth in the sun even in the mountain resorts - and the perfect opportunity to sample the famous Swiss chocolate. Top tip Spring is the ideal time for a short break in a resort such as Lucerne. You can enjoy the lake, take excursions to the nearby mountains of Rigi and Pilatus, explore the history of the Old Town, do a little shopping and sample a good variety of restaurants. Locarno Summer The Swiss weather can be surprisingly hot at the height of summer warm enough for a dip in the lake, for palm trees to line the promenades and for glorious subtropical flowers to bloom. That said, you may still need a jacket when you travel up to higher altitudes to enjoy alpine walks and views. There are plenty of festivals large and small at this time of year, making Switzerland a vibrant and cultural place to visit. Swiss National Day is on 1st August when you ll see an abundance of flags, fireworks and celebrations. Top tip When you stay in resorts such as St. Moritz, Davos and Saas-Fee in the summer you will be given a free travel pass which allows you unlimited travel on the local cable cars and funiculars. Elsewhere there are a range of great value travel passes to pre-book which allow you to bypass the ticket office queues. Autumn Landwasser Viaduct As well as being relatively quieter, this is a time of year with some wonderful seasonal produce for the visitor to enjoy. Chestnuts are a Swiss autumnal favourite, along with mushrooms, apples, pears and many varieties of game. You will find some resorts which hold charming festivals in the autumn, celebrating the locally produced cheeses and wine. In the alpine villages, you may spot cattle processing along the road. They come down from the high alpine pastures before the winter starts and are resplendent in their headdresses of flowers and ribbons. Top tip Autumn is perfect for a scenic rail holiday, with beautiful golden hues to enjoy through the panoramic windows as you travel across the changing landscape. You can still find warm sun in early autumn and enjoy memorable scenes as the mists burn off to reveal stunning views of the lakes and mountains. Glacier Express Winter Even if you are not a skier you can still enjoy a wonderful holiday at this time of year. Choose an alpine resort for mountaintop fondues under a blue sky and the fabulous après-ski atmosphere. There are idyllic, car-free villages such as Wengen and Zermatt, or lively resorts such as St. Moritz with plenty of restaurants and shopping. If you stay in a lakeside town such as Interlaken, Lucerne or Montreux you can enjoy lake cruises all year round - or use the transport network for a range of excursions up to mountain beauty spots and winter walking trails. Please see for more details. Top tip December of course brings Christmas celebrations - or you may like to visit earlier that month for the atmospheric Christmas markets which are becoming ever more popular. Most scenic rail routes operate through the winter so you also have the opportunity to travel across the Alps in all their winter glory. For a truly personal service call

Deduct 150 per person from the prices shown in the brochure. Swiss airport to resort by rail Travel to your resort in Switzerland is by rail as this offers the best comfort and flexibility. Zurich and Geneva airports have their own railway stations, making the transfer from the arrivals hall very easy. Your personalised travel documentation will provide details of the most convenient train departures and relevant connections. The Swiss railway system runs with the punctuality of a Swiss watch, so we will even be able to tell you the platform number! Your holiday price includes second class rail transfers. First class is available at a supplement of 40 per person offering quieter carriages with more room for yourself and your luggage. Luggage delivery Swiss Railways has a unique Flight Luggage system for transporting your luggage from your UK airport to your resort and back again. Significant changes have been made to the system over the last year, the key one being that on the return journey to the UK, check in and issuing of boarding passes at Swiss resorts is only possible on their door to door service. This is only available for clients travelling on SWISS flights from selected resorts. Otherwise luggage has to be collected at Zurich airport station baggage office and then checked in. We have teamed up with The aggageman.com to offer an alternative luggage delivery service from your home to your Swiss hotel and return. This will be beneficial to people flying with airlines other than SWISS and for anyone flying via Geneva airport. It will also be of interest for car free resorts such as Wengen, Mürren and Zermatt where Flight Luggage is no longer available to Zurich airport on the return journey. In these circumstances we could combine Express Flight Luggage on the outward journey with the aggageman service on your return journey. See page 86 for further details. Travel by rail This is an increasingly popular option as it offers a comfortable and relaxed ride across the continent. You ll start your journey by Eurostar from London (or Ebbsfleet in Kent) and you have a choice for the onward journey via Paris, Strasbourg or russels.
