Holiday destinations in Switzerland

The small holiday resort of Weggis lies at an altitude of 435 metres on the shore of Lake Lucerne and at the foot of the renowned Rigi. The region on the southern flank of the «Queen of the mountains» is often termed the ‘Riviera’ of central Switzerland. A panoramic cableway leads up from Weggis to Rigi-Kaltbad.

Wengen lies on a wind-protected sun terrace at the foot of the Jungfrau, 400 metres above the Lauterbrunnen valley at an altitude of 1274 m. The tradition-imbued, car-free holiday resort offers a family-friendly ski and rambling area around the Männlichen and the Kleine Scheidegg. With its nostalgic timber houses, the Bernese Oberland holiday resort has retained all the character of a picture-postcard mountain village.

The small holiday village of Wilderswil is situated in the immediate vicinity of Interlaken. Gsteigwiler sits on a sunny terrace at the foot of the Schynige Platte. Together with the romantic mountain village of Saxeten, these locations form a small, tranquil holiday region far removed from the hustle and bustle of the tourism metropolis of Interlaken, but don’t forsake any of the advantages of their central location for excursions, hiking tours, shopping and winter sports.
