Switzerland is beautifully organised and spectacularly scenic. Scenic trains like the Glacier Express link the Alps, and the lakes of Lucerne, Geneva and Lugano are ringed with grand hotels.
In winter, St Moritz, Zermatt, Verbier and Gstaad offer some of the world’s best skiing. In summer, the same mountains are perfect for walking, cycling and lakeside lunches.
It’s a short flight from the UK and wonderful for families, couples and multi-generational trips.
