Sandy beaches
Sandy beaches like those you find at the seaside. But this isn't the Caribbean; this is Switzerland. Most Swiss beaches are the result of natural weather conditions. From isolated bays to relaxed beach living and the hurly-burly of the lido, there is something here for every taste!
Bathing facilities
The wide variety of bathing facilities in Switzerland provide safety and comfort for all ages; for families and for those seeking peace and quiet.
Mountain lakes for bathing
Did you know that water temperatures in some mountain lakes can reach 25 degrees making them perfect for bathing? And with panoramic mountain views included, this is a sensational experience not to be missed!
Colourful lakes
The name gives the colour away! Red, white, black… whether it's caused by algae or glacier water doesn't really matter. The colour is the main thing.
Islands in the lake
Beautiful islands are not confined to the Caribbean. You'll find plenty in Switzerland, too! Are you ready for them?
