Overview
Take a trip to Swiss Alps on your Switzerland Vacation
At the crossroads of French, German, and Italian Europe, Switzerland has one feature setting it apart from its neighbours: the Swiss Alps. OK, also cheese and chocolate, but no trip to Switzerland is complete without time spent in the Alps.
Venturing into the Swiss Alps unveils a world of superlatives. The iconic Matterhorn is a standing symbol of Alpine grandeur dominating the skyline. Its pyramid-shaped peak will capture your imagination, and the nearby Gornergrat Railway will take you on an unforgettable journey to one of the world's highest cogwheel train stations, where dramatic views of snow-capped peaks, including the mesmerizing Dufourspitze of Monte Rosa, will leave you in awe.
The Jungfrau Region's ethereal beauty invites you to experience its abundance of thrilling outdoor experiences. The Jungfraujoch, often hailed as the Top of Europe, is a high-altitude wonderland accessible on an exhilarating cogwheel train journey. Stand in awe upon arrival at the Aletsch Glacier, Europe's largest glacier, sprawling majestically with Eiger's imposing north face looming in the background. Witness the Alpine charm of the village of Zermatt framed by the silhouette of the Matterhorn. Be ready to savour Swiss hospitality in cozy chalets, complemented by local cuisine featuring hearty raclette and fondue.
