7 reasons why women should travel to Switzerland.
Intro
What do women want? Everything! And that is exactly what you will get from your stay in Switzerland. Studies and trends show what is particularly important to women when travelling. Now, let us show you how to find exactly what you are looking for in Switzerland. Regardless of whether you are travelling solo, with friends, your partner, mother or sister.
Feel safe and free.
When a woman feels safe, she can enjoy her holiday to the full. Switzerland has one of the lowest crime rates of any industrialised nation. Even women travelling alone can get around safely and freely – provided that the usual safety precautions are observed. Women are just as open to adventure as men!
Enjoy great diversity in a small area.
Small but impressive: Enjoy a latte macchiato in Zurich’s trendy old town in the morning, breathe in the fresh mountain air on Mount Pilatus in the afternoon and savour la dolce vita in Lugano in the evening. Visitors to Switzerland will find so much to see and do within easy reach.
An Alpine mountain world, within easy reach.
Switzerland’s public transport system is one of the best in the world! There are postal buses to take you even to the most remote mountain valleys. Public transport makes it easy for women who love outdoor sports to access mountain peaks and hiking routes by train, bus, boat or mountain railway. The regular interval timetable means that transport is punctual as well as environmentally friendly. For those who prefer to enjoy the mountain views from the comfort of their armchair, a panoramic train tour is the perfect choice. One thing is for certain: public transport in Switzerland is anything but boring.
Clean and Swisstainable, if you please.
Switzerland is incredibly clean! Outsiders may poke fun at Switzerland’s reputation for cleanliness, but: what woman doesn’t appreciate clean (public) toilets and rubbish bins on almost every corner? Let’s go! Swiss health resorts with their hotels and sanatoriums were already renowned for their clean rooms in the 19th century. The mountains were also lauded as pristine and unspoilt. The Swiss have recognised the beauty of their natural environment and are doing all they can to protect it, for example as part of the Swisstainable programme.
There are great conversations to be had with the locals.
Grüezi, Grüessech, Tag wohl, Bonjour or Buongiorno? Switzerland is the perfect destination for women who want to use their foreign language skills. In addition to the national languages of French, Italian, German and Romansh, there are also a large number of regional dialects. And each linguistic region has its own unique culture. But don’t worry, you can also get by perfectly well with English.
Four different sides to Switzerland, changing with the seasons.
Switzerland lies in the heart of Europe and offers a wide range of activities at any time of the year: Cold winters, with frequent snow in the mountains, are ideal for various winter sports options. Spring is the best time to explore the cities – sit outside cosy sidewalk cafés and enjoy parks in full bloom. Visit the mountains in summer: Female hiking enthusiasts can challenge themselves on over 60,000km of hiking trails. Golden autumn likes to pull out all the stops: Speed through colourful forests on a bike or enjoy the culinary delights of the harvest season. Switzerland is enchanting at any time of the year.
