Summer regions

Living the dolce vita: Under palm trees on glittering lake shores. On picturesque paths through cool forests of chestnut trees. In the street cafes of Mediterranean-style towns or in the hidden grottos of the countryside. In deep valleys carved by rivers and high up on mountains with magnificent views. Pure Switzerland, southern style.

The people of the Valais are proud to be different. Proud, too, of the natural beauty around them, not least the UNESCO-protected Aletsch glacier; and proud of their ancient customs and traditions, which are still very much part of life in this stunningly beautiful region.

The Jura and its three lakes: No one is ever in a hurry in the watchmaking region between Geneva and Basel. Discover lakes, mountains, valleys and unspoilt nature one step at a time. No more and no less.
