Regions

Worth a visit for its local specialities alone.

With its lakes and mountains, forests and vineyards, the Lake Geneva Region is a feast for the senses – even before you try the region’s delicate regional foods and unrivalled wines.

The gastronomic capital of Switzerland.

Geneva is a delight at any time of year. The city has great charm as well as a remarkable number of good restaurants. Food lovers are in good hands here, whether at a luxury restaurant, a countrystyle inn, in the Old Town, or on board a paddle steamer from the Belle Époque.

The taste of authenticity.

The flavours and sights of the Valais surpass mere eating and drinking to include the residents’ joie de vivre that informs their exceptional gastronomic inventiveness and the time-honoured traditions of Switzerland’s largest winemaking canton.

The homeland of natural delights.

Welcome to this beautiful part of Switzerland, where precision watches are made. And welcome to its hospitable hotels and restaurants, whose kitchens and cellars serve the gifts of nature, exquisitely prepared.

Where the cuisine and the culture of the south come to life.

Ticino offers pleasurable contrasts: choose between plentiful local Merlot poured from a traditional earthenware boccalino accompanied by a dish of polenta with braised rabbit served in a mountain grotto or a vintage wine served from a crystal carafe with a top chef’s special risotto at a gourmet restaurant.

Riches of a proud region.

Food lovers looking for authentic specialities will be in their element here. From rustic, down-toearth country inns to the most sophisticated gourmet restaurants, the menus reveal a tremendous pride in regional cuisine.

Completely natural.

Bündnerfleisch (air-dried beef), Nusstorte (walnut cake), and tasty Capuns (chard dumplings) are all specialities from Switzerland’s largest holiday region. Less well known, but no less exquisite, are the wines produced in the small but superb Bündner Herrschaft area. Cheers – or as we say here, Viva!

Welcome to the land of plenty!

Eastern Switzerland, where the realm of Pinor noir borders the birthplace of Müller-Thurgau, where the princely wines of Liechtenstein inspire many a gastronomic fantasy, where the cheese of the high meadows matures to perfection, and a traditional dish can be a feast.

Zürich. A unique mix.

The Zürich region is rather like a fine menu: the secret of its perfection lies in the outstanding quality of its individual ingredients. It is no surprise, then, that Zürich is consistently named the city with the highest quality of life in the world.

Gastronomic delights of the city on the Rhine and its countryside.

Discover the food and wine of the Basel Region. Here, at the meeting point of different European cultures, cuisines from all over the world encounter a long-standing gastronomic tradition of the very highest calibre.

Taste and tradition in the Bern and Emmental regions. They say that the residents of Bern live life at a slower pace than people elsewhere – what better for the visitor looking for fine food and wine? Pair a break in culture-filled Bern with a visit to its magical and richly traditional countryside – an unforgettable combination not to be missed.

The good things in life.

Lush meadows, fresh air, sunny skies: the alpine landscape and mild climate in Saanenland provide the key ingredients. The rest is up to the chefs. Gstaad is, quite simply, gastronomic heaven.

From down-to-earth cuisine up to GaultMillau heaven.

In Lucerne and Schwyz and all around Lake Lucerne, a passion for producing quality ingredients and transforming them into flavourful dishes has made the region a gourmet’s paradise.
