Why choose a tour package to Switzerland?

Switzerland is a smorgasbord of unparalleled luxury experiences, postcard-perfect villages, and a storied past heavily influenced by its four biggest neighbouring countries. But the real stars of the show are the imposing snow-covered peaks of the Swiss Alps, which cover over 50 percent of the country.

Our escorted tours to Switzerland immerse you in its well-renowned culture, cuisine and history. Under the expert guidance of our local guides, you'll get more than acquainted with the country's hidden gems and rich heritage.

Thomas, Product Manager at Jules Verne, advises:
"Switzerland’s beauty goes beyond its scenery – it’s in the details of its culture, cuisine and history. Local guides are the key to unlocking these subtleties, whether it’s tasting the best fondue in Gruyères or understanding the legacy of Swiss neutrality. With a carefully curated itinerary, you can focus on savouring the experience while every logistical detail is taken care of."

How do our tour packages to Switzerland work?

Our guided Switzerland tours are only for a small group, so you'll enjoy a getaway in the company of kindred spirits. This group size allows you to make the most of your local guide and benefit from their knowledge in greater detail.

What destinations can you visit on our tour packages to Switzerland?

Our selection of tour destinations in Switzerland focuses on where you can truly tap into the local traditions and lesser-known attractions. Whether you prefer the rugged terrain of the Swiss Alps or the uninterrupted serenity of gorgeous lakes, there is something for every traveller to explore.

Lucerne

Nestled in the heart of Switzerland is the charming city of Lucerne. Located on the tranquil shores of Lake Lucerne in the foothills of the majestic Alps, the city is famous for the Lion Monument, a poignant sculpture carved into natural rock honouring Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution. Take the time to enjoy a boat cruise on the lake, cable car rides and refreshing hiking routes into the mountains.

Mount Rigi

Nicknamed the Queen of Mountains, Mount. Rigi is a must-visit location when traversing Central Switzerland. It boasts breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps, Zug and Lauerz, and offers visitors a variety of activities to enjoy, including hiking, indulgent wellness experiences and mountaintop restaurants. Though its peak stands at an intimidating 1,797m, the mountain is easily accessible by cogwheel train or cable car.

Engelberg

The quaint village of Engelberg provides travellers with the quintessential image of Swiss rural life. It's home to Mount Titlis, where visitors can experience the world-famous Titlis Rotair – the first revolving cable car. The village is a skier's paradise in winter but in the summer you can bask in the verdant valleys and the beauty of Trübsee Lake.

When should you book a guided tour of Switzerland?

With so much to experience throughout the year, Switzerland is an excellent destination for guided tours beyond skiing. The spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) offer mild temperatures, perfect for exploring the Swiss landscapes and cities, as well as hiking its higher elevations comfortably. These seasons allow you to skip the ski rush in the winter and the summer crowds.

The average temperature on our Switzerland tours during the spring and autumn is 8-15°C, ideal for lakeside exploring and mountain walking.
