SWITZERLAND WITH THE SPECIALISTS We are the destination experts, passionate about bringing Switzerland closer to you. We know the best places to visit and the best ways to get there. And we are proud to share this expertise with you. Our personal service and extra special touches make all the difference.

NOBODY KNOWS SWITZERLAND LIKE WE DO... VARIABLE PRICES - Guidelines Prices for flights and international trains constantly fluctuate and change. Airlines change prices almost hourly but also hotels now apply flexible pricing models. This makes fixed price grids increasingly complex and not always accurate. This is the reason we show “from” prices in our brochure, which will provide you with a good guideline for the selected package. Our specialists will work out the best available travel options for you. Prices will be confirmed and guaranteed at the time of booking.

FLIGHTS – Average Flight Prices We offer flights from major and regional airports in the UK to Switzerland with a wide range of airlines. Prices for air travel fluctuate depending on airline, availability and departure airport. Flight prices are lower the earlier you book. All our package prices are based on an average flight price and are return from the UK in economy class with 1 piece of luggage included. We also book hand-luggage only fares on request. Your package price may be lower than the ‘from prices’ advised in the brochure. Our consultants will help you with the most attractive flight options from your nearest departure airport.

INTERNATIONAL RAIL All of our packages can also be combined with train travel to Switzerland. We are experts in international rail, dedicated to finding you the best possible fares, routes and ticket combinations. We offer Eurostar services via Paris or Brussels together with DB, TGV and Lyria connections throughout Europe or combinations of one way by air and one way by rail. Our experts will advise you on the best rail options for your journey.

RAIL TRANSFERS PRIVATE TRANSFERS All our packages include return transfers by rail from any Swiss airport or border railway station. Trains are a very comfortable way to travel in winter. Some resorts can only be reached by train. We also offer private transfers by car or minibus. When travelling with a group of people or with a lot of luggage private transfers are a convenient alternative. If booking private transfers, rail tickets and half fare card are not included.
