Cuisine is culture come alive.

A country that has 350 different varieties of sausages is one that cares a lot about food and doesn’t think much of fast food. Switzerland has four distinct regions, each with its own language and culture, and each of those regions merges time-honoured local food traditions and the best of modern culinary art.

Switzerland has cheeses for every palate.

Did you know that Switzerland produces 450 varieties of cheese? Up on alps, in valleys, cows graze in the lush green meadows giving a rich milk perfect for cheese making… Every cheese is different, but each one embodies skill, tradition, nature – and the finest quality.

Happiness that you can eat.

Switzerland is chocolate heaven. Swiss chocolatiers invented milk chocolate – and made it into the most popular sweet treat in the world. It’s no surprise that Switzerland tops the world in chocolate consumption.

The best wines for those in the know.

All Swiss love drinking Swiss wines – which is why hardly any are exported. So much the better, then, that you are coming to visit Switzerland. More than 50 different varieties of grapes grow on sunny Swiss slopes – including some that do not grow anywhere else in the world.

Dine on the move – with first-class views.

Lean back, and reach for your glass. Order a local speciality: Älplermakkaroni (alpine-style macaroni and cheese), perhaps, fondue, or a Salsiz (cured dry sausage). Outside the window, mountains, meadows and lakes glide past. Dine as you travel through Switzerland: stress-free, and in grand style.
