Travelling to Switzerland

Travel to Switzerland! You cannot skiing, do not want to visit the world economic summit in Davos or the Engadin ski-marathon, do not acquire a taste for ski jumping in Engelberg and St. Moritz has always been too expensive for you?

 

It doesn’t matter. There are many other reasons for travelling to Switzerland. From the sports point of view you could, according to season and weather, spend the time with tobogganing, Nordic Walking, mountain-biking or paragliding, canyoning, rafting, hiking, mountaineering, swimming, paddling, running …

 

There are sufficient sports destinations in Switzerland. Who would like to come to rest can find a variety of Swiss spa hotels together with corresponding relaxing programmes, or the cultural collection of more than 400 museums summarizing what actually had begun rather combative. The Swiss confederation of the cantons have not always been such peace-loving and neutral like it is nowadays the Swiss trademark in all over the world.

 

Swiss Museum Pass

A word of advice for all Swiss visitors intending to possibly visit one of the numerous museums. By acquiring the Swiss Network Card (Swiss Pass or Swiss Flexi and Swiss Youth Pass) admission to all museums is free.

 

The world as a guest in Switzerland and Austria

 

There is still a lack of reasons for travelling to Switzerland? In 2008, you will find an additional reason. The European football championships, EM 2008, will take place in Switzerland and Austria. In any case you should allow for a short trip to the participating Swiss cities – it is not such expensive as you think. With Swiss Pass you drive from stadium to stadium, we have already tried to find out for you which hotels you can find near the EM 2008 stadiums and what they cost.

 

Travelling by train across Switzerland

 

Who considers train journeys to be boring and somehow impractical, is set right by the Swiss trains. Modern trains manage each mountain. On the way, you can admire unbelievable landscapes from large panorama windows of the partly stately equipped trains. Just by the way and between you and me: You should try it.

 

Sport, experience, spa, travelling by train, EM 2008, museums – that all is nothing for you?

 

Then get enthusiastic by the Swiss Alps and Swiss lakes. Heidi is not just a figure – the landscape really exists and we would be really surprised if you are not enthusiastic of this small but fine country as you next holiday destination.
