(9 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis) Lausanne & Lake Geneva, Bern, Zurich, St. Moritz
This ultimate private luxury tour of Switzerland features the top resort hotels, private touring of the most interesting cultural sights, incredible scenery, and outstanding food and wine destinations.
Begin in Lausanne and the beautiful Lake Geneva region with three nights at one of Switzerland’s most luxurious lakeside resort hotels. One day, take a private excursion to the Lavaux wine region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of 800-year-old terraced vineyards that skirt the edge of Lake Geneva and offer dramatic views of the Alps. Taste Chasselas and other delicious local varietals in Lavaux cellars, and perhaps enjoy a gourmet meal at one of the finest restaurants in Switzerland. Also, tour Chateau de Chillon—Switzerland’s most interesting castle—which sits on a small island in Lake Geneva and offers evocative insights into the daily life of medieval aristocracy. Another day, opt to tour Lausanne's Old Town or visit the atmospheric hill town of Gruyeres to tour a local cheese maker and and perhaps visit the nearby factory of one of Switzerland’s premier chocolate makers.
Next, transfer to Zurich, one of Europe’s most sophisticated cities. En route, visit Bern, the beautiful capital of Switzerland, for a private tour of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town. During flexible private touring in Zurich, see the highlights of the Old Town, sample culinary specialties from throughout Switzerland, and tour museums and other cultural attractions according to your interests, such as the Kunsthaus, Landesmuseum (Swiss National Museum), gallery districts, and churches with stained glass windows designed by Marc Chagall and Sigmar Polke. Upon request, a private excursion to Basel can be arranged.
Continue to St. Moritz, a glamorous resort town deep in the Swiss Alps. Stay at legendary Badrutt’s Palace, one of the finest hotels in Switzerland, and enjoy time to relax in the mountains and at the hotel.
This tour can easily be extended to include time at Lake Como, Venice or other destinations in Italy.
