Ten days in Switzerland give you enough time to compare different regions and travel styles, from classic lake towns to high alpine bases. You might focus on city hubs such as Zurich, Lausanne and Lucerne, using the country’s efficient rail links for day walks and short excursions. Another option is to spend more time in car-free mountain villages like Zermatt or in bases around the Bernese Oberland, where longer stays allow for more sustained hiking.

Some itineraries link scenic rail journeys, including routes similar to the Glacier Express, with flexible walking days in places such as St Moritz. Others keep distances short, balancing gentle lakeside paths, old-town walks and targeted high-altitude viewpoints. Curated options make it easier to adjust the pace and walking level while combining alpine trails, village stays and local food experiences.

These Switzerland trips are designed by local Switzerland travel experts, not taken from fixed package tours.

Each itinerary is just an example that you can customize to your walking level, timing, and preferred mix of cities, alpine villages, and scenic routes.
