Swiss Alps

Swiss Alp trips

It comes as no surprise that Switzerland is renowned for its astounding Alpine scenery, crisp snow-capped peaks and formidable panoramas. Home to some of the most dramatic scenery in the world, it’s said that hiking enthusiasts have come to explore the Swiss Alps since the Middle Ages. Stretching over both the Western Alps and Eastern Alps, the Swiss Alps southern ranges also encompass the Mont Blanc Massif and the Bernina Massif that cross into the French, Italian, Austrian and Liechtenstein borders. And when it comes to our Swiss Alps holidays, we give travellers plenty of opportunities to explore off the beaten tracks.
