start planning

Twelve days in Switzerland give you time to combine big-name alpine hubs with quieter lakeside bases while still keeping a realistic pace. Some trips concentrate on the Bernese Oberland, using Grindelwald or Wengen as a base for Jungfraujoch, Männlichen and the Lauterbrunnen Valley. Other itineraries link lake regions, pairing Montreux on Lake Geneva with Lucerne or Lake Thun for promenades, castle visits and short mountain excursions.

Rail-focused routes make use of panoramic trains such as the Glacier Express or Bernina Express to connect Zermatt, St Moritz, and Zurich, turning travel days into major highlights. You can also find more refined options that bring together scenic trains, gentle hikes and curated food experiences without rushing the schedule.

These Switzerland trips are created by local Switzerland travel experts, not fixed packages.

Each itinerary is just a starting point. You can customise the dates, budget, route and activities to match the way you actually like to travel.
