5 Magical Places to Propose in Switzerland for Valentine’s Day Blog written by Alessandra Corbi on December 16th, 2025
Introducción
Switzerland is the ultimate destination for couples dreaming of a luxurious and unforgettable marriage proposal. With its majestic alpine peaks, serene lakesides, and charming historic towns, Switzerland offers an unparalleled combination of romance and breathtaking scenery, perfect for creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Here are five magical Swiss locations that provide the perfect setting for your luxury proposal, along with the experiences we can create for you:
1. Zermatt – A Proposal at the Foot of the Matterhorn
Zermatt has a presence that is impossible to imitate. The Matterhorn rises so sharply and so confidently from the landscape that a proposal immediately feels meaningful, as if the mountain itself becomes part of the moment. It is one of the rare places where a proposal in Switzerland needs very little to feel extraordinary; the setting already carries the emotion.
What also makes Zermatt so special is the atmosphere of the village itself. The absence of cars, the wooden chalets, the soft sound of snow underfoot, and the way the Matterhorn appears between rooftops all contribute to a feeling that time moves differently here. There is a quiet elegance to Zermatt, a blend of Swiss tradition and alpine luxury, that naturally enhances the emotion of the moment, long before the proposal even begins.
Here, it is not only a proposal: it is a true experience. It begins with a private helicopter flight, rising above the mountain ridges before landing at 3,000 metres. The moment the helicopter shuts down, the silence becomes almost unreal — a stillness interrupted only by the view of the Matterhorn standing directly in front of you. On the untouched snow awaits a romantic bespoke setup facing the mountain, created entirely for your proposal. Elegant, refined, and intentionally understated, it heightens the emotion of the moment without ever competing with the landscape.
For couples who imagine something more serene yet equally breathtaking, Zermatt also offers luxury alpine picnics— intimate, beautifully styled settings arranged in the snow, surrounded by hundreds of roses and framed by the Matterhorn. It is a slower, more intimate way to experience the mountains, where time feels suspended and the landscape becomes the entire moment. Different in rhythm, but just as spectacular.
For couples dreaming of a winter proposal shaped by nature, luxury, and authenticity, Zermatt offers an experience that leaves a lasting imprint — a moment suspended between emotion and mountain air.
2. Thun – A Proposal Framed by Lake Thun and the Bernese Alps
Thun has a way of surprising people. Set along the edge of Lake Thun and framed by the Bernese Alps, the town blends calm natural beauty with an effortless charm. It’s the kind of place where everything feels slower, softer, and somehow more meaningful, making it an ideal setting for a proposal that feels both intimate and unforgettable.
A short distance from the historic town of Thun lies a private terrace with an uninterrupted view of the lake. From here, the Jungfrau and the Niesen rise quietly in the distance, shaping a landscape that feels grand without ever overpowering the moment. This terrace becomes your own secluded space, where the world narrows down to just two people and one question.
The beauty of this place lies in its simplicity: the reflection of the mountains on the lake, the soft movement of the water, the sense of complete privacy. With custom decor delicate touches, and thoughtful details, the terrace transforms into a setting that feels uniquely yours—elegant, understated, and deeply romantic.
Whether in the warm light of spring, the golden tones of summer, or the calm atmosphere of winter, a proposal in Thun offers a moment suspended in time. It’s the kind of place where a proposal becomes more than a gesture—it becomes a memory you’ll return to for the rest of your life.
3. St. Moritz – A Luxury Snow Proposal Above the Engadin Valley
St. Moritz is synonymous with Swiss luxury, a place where winter glamour, alpine elegance, and international sophistication come together. Known for its champagne climate, iconic hotels, and stylish atmosphere, St. Moritz has long been one of the most sought-after destinations for a St. Moritz proposal and exclusive winter experiences.
High above the Engadin Valley, at an altitude of 2'800 meters, lies a completely private alpine location offering one of the most breathtaking settings in Switzerland for a luxury winter proposal. Surrounded by sweeping mountain peaks and crystal-clear light, this secluded spot feels like a world suspended above the clouds.
Here, we design grand bespoke setups directly in the snow, transforming the landscape into a moment of pure magic. Imagine stepping onto a pristine snow plateau to find a dramatic aisle of hundreds of roses, creating a striking contrast against the untouched white landscape, a scene ideal for unforgettable St. Moritz engagement photography.
A proposal in St. Moritz is not just a gesture, it is an exclusive alpine experience, where nature, elegance, and emotion come together effortlessly.
4. Lavaux – A Luxury Proposal Between Vineyards and Lake Geneva
The Lavaux is one of Switzerland’s most breathtaking destinations — a UNESCO World Heritage landscape where terraced vineyards cascade toward the shimmering Lake Geneva. Known for its golden light, panoramic views, and peaceful atmosphere, Lavaux offers one of the most romantic and iconic settings for a luxury proposal in Switzerland.
One of our signature experiences takes place on a private terrace set directly within the vineyards, overlooking the lake. Surrounded by rows of vines and uninterrupted views of Lake Geneva and the French Alps, this terrace offers complete privacy and a naturally elegant backdrop for your proposal. With refined décor designed to complement the landscape, it is perfect for couples seeking a sophisticated, exclusive, and breathtaking engagement setting.
The second experience is a romantic lakeside picnic, reached by a short walk that begins in the vineyards. As you approach the water, a beautifully styled setup awaits — soft florals, delicate tableware, warm tones, and the calming presence of the lake. Intimate, charming, and visually stunning, it creates a moment that feels effortlessly romantic and deeply personal. Ideal for couples who want a proposal that is both authentic and unforgettable, framed by the natural beauty of Lavaux.
Whether you choose the vineyard terrace or the lakeside picnic, a proposal in Lavaux captures everything couples dream of when imagining a romantic engagement in Switzerland: spectacular views, serene surroundings, and a timeless atmosphere where the moment feels entirely your own.
5. Glacier 3000 – The Most Exclusive Proposal Experience in Switzerland
A proposal on Glacier 3000 is the definition of ultimate Swiss luxury, a setting unlike any other for a truly once-in-a-lifetime Swiss Alps engagement. At an altitude of 3'000 meters, surrounded by dramatic peaks and untouched snowfields, this destination offers a level of exclusivity that simply does not exist anywhere else.
Your journey begins with a private helicopter flight, the signature of a helicopter proposal in Switzerland. Soaring over glaciers, ridgelines, and crystalline landscapes before landing on a secluded plateau, the experience feels cinematic, intimate, and undeniably grand.
Awaiting your arrival is our signature love lounge, sculpted directly into the snow: a heart-shaped installation lined with soft furs, alpine cushions, and delicate floral touches. Warm, elegant, and completely private, it embodies the essence of a luxury proposal in Switzerland, transforming the vast glacier into a romantic sanctuary framed by one of the most breathtaking panoramas in the Alps.
Proposing at Glacier 3000 is more than just a moment — it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that feels like being on top of the world. Here, exclusive winter proposal experiences blend seamlessly with luxury, adventure and pure emotion.
