Switzerland

If mountains, cheese, and chocolate excite you then you should visit Switzerland. Never has chocolate tasted so good as when you have sat atop a mountain in Switzerland.

Language – Swiss / Swiss French / Swiss Italian / Swiss German | Capital – Bern | Currency – Swiss Francs

Switzerland, (our home as of 2021!), is a place you truly have to visit to believe. With unique festivals, heartwarming food, cow parades, and all the incredible landscapes and cities in between, it is a country that we are very proud to call our home.

Our Top Picks in Switzerland

See the Alps, the lakes and all the beautiful cities, towns and villages in between.

Eat cheese fondue and chocolate may be the most well-known dishes of Switzerland, (and you should try them!), but also be sure to have a taste of Raclette, potato rösti, and Älplermagronen. Each canton, (of which there are 26 in Switzerland) also specialises in its own dish, so here in Basel, we have the Basel Leckerli.

Stay at campsites or typical Swiss chalet-style hotels across the country, perfect for a road trip or a more luxurious stay.
