The strength lies in tranquillity a guiding principle in turbulent times

DEAR GUESTS In a world characterised by unrest, natural disasters and energy crises, the longing for peace and relaxation is becoming increasingly important. It is a basic human need to treat ourselves to time out – moments in which we can find ourselves and recharge our batteries. With this in mind, the Private Selection Hotels open their doors wide to offer you these oases of peace, where love and respect for each individual – whether guest or employee – and responsibility for our environment take centre stage.

Our values are deeply rooted in our hospitality, our close connection with the region and our desire to make our guests’ holidays unforgettable experiences. This promise is reflected in an impressive satisfaction and recommendation rate of 94 %, a testament to the trust and satisfaction that you, our valued guests, place in us.

Over the past year, we have focussed on offering you not only relaxation, but also meaningfulness and authenticity. Our teams in every Private Selection Hotel have worked with dedication and a mindful conscience to ensure that you feel comfortable and cared for. With over 25,000 reviews in 2023, we have learnt that our efforts bear fruit and that your expectations have not only been met, but often exceeded.

Our commitment to a sustainable and conscious travel culture is an integral part of our philosophy. We invite you to be part of this journey, be it in planning your individual holiday experience, discovering cultural treasures along the UNESCO World Heritage sites or enjoying the regional cuisine in our hotels.

Echoing the timeless words of Confucius: “Wherever you go, go with all your heart“, we would like to assure you that you will receive a warm welcome at each of our hotels. Enjoy your journey with mindfulness and full of the joy of experience.

We thank you for your loyalty and invite you to collect bonus points with every booking with Private Selection Hotels & Tours. You can look forward to attractive rewards and exclusive offers that we have put together especially for you, our valued regular guests.

Discover our popular “pleasure package“ pages 94/95, which can be booked in more than 20 selected hotels – an offer that we have exclusively for you all year round (except over the festive season).

We wish you happy, eventful and enjoyable holidays.

We are proud that our sustainability efforts are not going unnoticed.

With her mindfulness blog for travellers and her activities for and with the hotel teams, our sustainability officer Julia has shown how each and every one of us can help to reduce our carbon footprint and have a positive impact on our environment. Particularly impressive is the commitment of the apprentices from all Private Selection Hotels, who are currently outdoing each other in a large-scale “climate challenge“ with top ideas for their own sustainability projects!

Yours sincerely Rolf E. Brönnimann, President and the entire team of Private Selection Hotels & Tours: Monika, Anima, Julia, Andrea, Irina, Damiano, Alexia, Naomi, Denoshan and Esther

Royal break fully relaxed

Hotel Schloss Leitheim on the Romantic Road

HOTEL SCHLOSS LEITHEIM

Hotel Schloss Leitheim lies right next to the rococo castle of Schloss Leitheim and offers high-end decor in a cultivated ambiance. The hotel’s tranquil wellness area provides for well-being, health and relaxation.

You can choose between classic sauna, sanarium or steam bath, Kneipp treatments or rubbings with snow from the ice fountain. Or maybe you prefer to just sit and relax. The view from sanarium and rest area into the Danube valley is breathtakingly beautiful. Delicate sounds create a feeling of weightlessness and make you forget all daily worries.

Your taste buds will be spoiled in the Restaurant Weingärtnerhaus – a historic building located right above the vineyards. Here, high quality produce is magically transformed into princely meals, which are served in elegantly comfortable premises featuring a tiled stove and open cheminée. What about baked shrimp tartare and avocado or a pink-roasted duck breast with cherry sauce, sugar snap peas and crisp potato patties? Accompanied by an excellent local wine of a fine drop from Italy, France or South Africa? Here is a paradise for gourmets and wine lovers.

bora HotSPaResort, Lake Constance

Women's business bora HotSpaResort, Radolfzell Mountains. Boats. Lake Constance.

Germany. Austria. Switzerland.

Coming in. Arrive.

In a small world of your own, full of warmth, water, life. Which welcomes and accommodates you. For a weekend, a seminar, a lake vacation. That connects what belongs together: living and working, going ahead and going out, taking in and letting go. Immerse yourself into rooms full of color, light and openness. In an elegant mixture of oak, fire, clay and linen. Let your gaze wander. Stray across colorful islands to linger, an inviting bar for Refresh. Before you move in – to a temporary home. A home with view. A view into the distance. View of the water. Framed by old willows. The rustle of leaves. Crashing waves. Firelight. Morning.

Noon. Evening. Alone. As a couple. As a team. Completely private or in parts business.

TRAVEL TIP:

Cross-country skiing tour in the Engadine Find your own personal dream trails on the 220 kilometres of beautifully groomed cross-country trails in the Engadine.

Scenic variety, top-quality trails and snow are guaranteed. Discover in 5 days – 4 nights – the largest network of cross-country ski trails in Switzerland and glide weightlessly from hotel to hotel, as we take care of the luggage transport for you.

ITINERARY: Day 1: Arrival and making your first tracks Your cross-country skiing adventure begins in Celerina near St. Moritz. If you do not have own cross-country skiing equipment, you can hire professional equipment at the cross-country skiing school Celerina. Make your first tracks on the cross-country trails on the day of arrival and afterwards enjoy the spacious wellness and spa area of the Cresta Palace Hotel and look forward to an enjoyable dinner in the stylish hotel restaurant.

Day 2: Glide like the cross-country skiing pros on the famous marathon trail across the Engadine lake district After a hearty breakfast, you set off on the first stage of your cross-country skiing tour in the cross-country paradise. What do your muscles say? Are you in the mood for an extensive, sporty tour, or would you prefer a leisurely one? For the longer option (16 kilometres), take the bus to Sils-Maria and glide like a cross-country skiing pro on the famous Engadin marathon route over the Silvaplana and Champfer lakes to St. Moritz, past Lake St. Moritz to the magical Lake Staz. Here, the lakeside restaurant invites you to take a breather with a cup of tea before tackling the last section through the enchanting Staz forest to Pontresina. For the shorter option (7km) you start your cross-country skiing adventure in St. Moritz. Once you arrive at the hotel in Pontresina relax your muscles in the wellness & spa area, before enjoying a gourmet dinner in the evening. www.privateselection.ch

Glide gently for 16 kilometres alongside the snow-covered Inn on the paradisiacal silver tracks of the marathon route until you reach Zuoz. There you will be picked up by your hosts at the Hotel Castell and driven to the “castle“. An impressive hotel world awaits you between art, nature, culinary delights and wellbeing.

Day 4: Enjoy the soothing tranquillity of Val Bever Rested and refreshed, you set off on the last stage of your cross-country skiing adventure.

Let the fascinating fairytale backdrop of the surrounding peaks and the beautiful Val Bever have an effect on you and listen attentively to your own breathing and the sound of the cross-country skis. Arriving in the village of Bever, you will find another connection to the marathon trail, which takes you back to Celerina via the aerodrome.

THE HIGHLIGHTS: Cave paintings from pre-historic times These stunning cave paintings were created by prehistoric men and women a staggering 36,000 years ago. Painted on the cave walls of the Chauvet Grotto near the Pont d’Arc in the south of the Ardèche region, they remain preserved for eternity in limestone and clay. These untouched treasures were discovered in 1994 by three amateur cave explorers – amazingly well preserved, of enormous historical value and rich in latePalaeolithic drawings of animals and wildlife – 3 factors which led to the cave being classed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2014. Sadly, yet for obvious conservation reasons, the cave will never be accessible to the general public. However, you can visit a larger-than-life replica of the cave which is also the largest of its kind in the world.

The most beautiful wall of Louis XIV’s entire kingdom A 45-minute drive from the Hotel Le Clair de la Plume takes you to the magnificent Roman edifice, the Amphitheatre at Orange. This well-preserved, most ancient and most impressive of structures is also a World Heritage site and allows you to imagine the pomp and splendour of former times. The amphitheatre was constructed in the 1st century AD. The imposing stage wall was designed to enhance the acoustics and to put the actors “centre-stage“ for the audience. Louis XIV was so impressed, he described it as “the most beautiful wall in his entire kingdom“. During the French Revolution, the amphitheatre served as a refuge, fortification, and even a prison. Today it welcomes visitors and hosts opera festivals, summer concerts and theatre productions.

Sur le Pont d’Avignon Avignon has a rich historic and cultural heritage. The Palace of the Popes and its grand square, the famous Pont d’Avignon, the city walls and the cathedral have all earned the city a UNESCO World Heritage title. Be sure to visit the “Palais des Papes“, the largest gothic palace ever built and the medieval art museum “Le Petit Palais“ at the end of the main square. Stroll through the narrow Avignon streets and don’t forget the worldfamous bridge and the song it inspired… (“Sur le pont d’Avignon, on y danse, on y danse…“)

Arles – The UNESCO Town As a UNESCO World Heritage site, Arles has several monuments worth visiting: the amphitheatre, the Roman theatre, the Saint Trophime cloister, the Mari des Forums, the baths of Constantine, the Alyscamps necropolis, and the Roman battlements. For contemporary art enthusiasts, we recommend a detour to the “Maison d’Arles“ where Maja Hoffmann, Swiss art collector and heiress of the Hoffmann-La Roche pharmaceutical company, has established an interdisciplinary centre for culture. The centre piece is a striking aluminium tower designed by star architect Frank O’Gehry. Arles has much to offer in addition to its UNESCO status, including one of the prettiest markets in Provence which takes place every Saturday morning, award-winning restaurants such as “La Chassagnette“ as well a number of exquisite boutiques that will make you want to browse!

A stop-over in Genoa – the home of Columbus The capital city of Liguria has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2006 and is famous for the “Palazzi dei Rolli“, and the historic renaissance and baroque palaces of the aristocracy located in the Strade Nuove.

Built in the 16th and 17th centuries they will immerse you in the aristocracy of days gone by. In the Middle Ages, Genoa was considered one of the most important ports and trade posts of the Mediterranean Sea. Lest we forget, once upon a time, Christopher Columbus, explorer and discoverer of the Americas was born here. Today, this former hub for trade and commerce is rather more a centre for culture and a pleasure harbour.

TRAVEL TIP:

A journey through time in Switzerland

Journey through time in Switzerland 4 nights from CHF 1’440.– per person in DBL

By train and e-car on the most beautiful routes through historical and culinary highlights.

ITINERARY: Day 1: Arrival (individual) The journey through time begins with check-in at Hotel La Couronne in Solothurn, Switzerland’s most beautiful baroque city. Find out what Napoleon’s visit and the number 11 are all about – and indulge in a welcome aperitif at the “Bar à Vin“ and an exquisite 4-course menu at Hotel La Couronne.

Day 2 Swiss watchmaking art and natural wonders: Start the day with our rich breakfast buffet before picking up your e-car rental at 10.00 am for a spectacular day tour. Your journey takes you along the picturesque Lake Biel and the Chasseral Nature Park to St. Imier, where you will visit the renowned watch manufacturer Longines. Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Swiss watch industry and discover the masterpieces of precise craftsmanship. Your journey through time continues with a trip to La Chaux-de-Fonds, the heart of Swiss watchmaking.

Here you will visit the watch museum and learn more about the evolution of this fine mechanics that has made Switzerland famous worldwide. Le Locle, just 10 km further on, is also a contemporary witness to watchmaking. These two towns, closely linked to the watchmaking industry, have been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list for their exemplary representation of the industrial age of urbanisation. Your next destination is the Creux du Van, also known as the “Grand Canyon of Switzerland“. This majestic natural formation is an impressive witness to time and provides insights into geological history – the structure of the Jurassic folds. The limestone layers were formed about 140 million years ago from sedimentary deposits in the sea of the Jurassic period. The last stage of the day takes you down to Lake Neuchâtel and always along the lakeshore – past Grandson Castle to Yverdon-les-Bains. Welcome to the Hotel La Prairie in Yverdon-les-Bains. While your rental car is being collected, celebrate the evening with an exquisite 4-course Gala Dîner Vaudois, prepared by our renowned Gault Millau kitchen team. Savour the refined flavours as you revisit the exciting day. www.privateselection.ch

Day 3: The treasures of Berne After breakfast, take the train to Berne – we’ll take care of your luggage so you can travel weightlessly. What would a journey through time in Switzerland be without a visit to the “Zytgloggeturm“ (clock tower) and Berne’s old town, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site for 4 decades.

Visit Berne’s historical museum before checking into the boutique Hotel Belle Epoque and enjoy a “Bernese platter“ with a good glass of white wine. As Berne has so much to offer, we have not reserved dinner for you.

On request, however, the hotel team will be happy to reserve a table for you, for example at the traditional restaurant “Della Casa“.

Day 4 Through the idyllic Emmental valley to the historic Pilatus summit: After breakfast, your journey through time continues with a picturesque train journey on the BLS Regio Express through the rustic Emmental Valley to Lucerne. On the way the charming village of Trubschachen and the “Kambly World of experience“ invite you to stop off. Continue your train journey through the Entlebuch, the first UNESCO biosphere reserve. After arriving in Lucerne, we recommend a short walk through the city and across the

At the top of the mountain, the historic Hotel Pilatus Kulm awaits you with a breathtaking panoramic view, an aperitif and an exclusive 4-course fare-well dinner.

TRAVEL TIP:

Hiking in the Grisons Over hill, dale and Graubünden passes from one Alpine valley to the high plateau of the Engadine.

Hiking in the Grisons 4 nights from CHF 1’085.− per person in DBL

ITINERARY: Arrival in Arosa: Arrive and enjoy Start your journey with a stay at Blatter’s Hotel in Arosa. Arrive and enjoy warm hospitality is the motto here! In the hotel’s own Bella Vista wellness centre, body and mind come to rest and in the evening let yourself be spoilt by the fresh and regional gourmet cuisine.

Day 1: Arosa – Davos for those with a head for heights Well rested and energised, you start your hiking adventure the next morning.

From Arosa, the trail glides down to the Isel reservoir, winds its way up through the mountain forest and reveals breathtaking views of the Arosa peaks. Past Medergen, a rustic Walser village from the 14th century with dark, densely packed wooden houses and the inviting Alpenrose mountain restaurant. The path continues to lure you to hidden gems such as the Seeboden lake and reaches the dizzying ”Tritt“ at the Latschüelfurgga pass crossing. The ”Tritt“ stands for a steep step that has been ”defused“ with a ladder", which is over 220 steps long. On the side there is a thick wire rope to hold on to, which means that the steep step is for those with a head for heights. After the breathtaking pass the view of Davos’ mountains opens up. From here, the path descends steeply towards Schatzalp, where the last 250 metres downhill to Davos Platz can be made by Schatzalp railway, which is easier on the knees. In Davos Platz you will be welcomed at the Hotel Grischa – DAS Hotel Davos with a hearty welcome and where your luggage is already waiting for you.

Day 1: Option for those who have no head for heights Arosa – Davos Frauenkirch Your hike begins in idyllic Arosa, where you walk along the picturesque Untersee lake and gently descend towards the Plessur river. On the historic path of the Walser Trail, you then take the steady ascent to Maienfelder Furgga. With every step on this traditional path, you www.privateselection.ch

immerse yourself deeper into history. Staying true to the Walser Trail, you finally reach Davos Frauenkirch. Here it is only a stone’s throw – a four-minute train journey – and you find yourself in the heart of Davos Platz.

Day 2: Davos – Scalettapass – S-chanf After a hearty breakfast, the second stage of your Graubünden hiking adventure awaits you. The bus will take you from Davos Platz to Davos Dischma, Dürrboden. From here you continue on foot while you immerse yourself in the marvellous natural beauty of the surrounding mountains. On the way up to the Scalettapass you cross the wild and romantic valley of Dischma. After about 2 hours you finally reach the Scaletta Pass, which at 2,606 metres is the highest point of the former mule track. Continue along the rippling mountain stream through

Hiking in the Grisons

the Susauna valley for the descent into the Engadine. After about 3.5 hours you will reach La Resgia. From here you can take the bus to Zuoz at the Chapella bus stop or walk the distance to S-chanf (approx.

1 hour) or Zuoz (1.5 hours). Please contact your hosts at the Hotel Castell in advance, where you will spend your next night, and they will pick you up in S-chanf or Zuoz.

DÜRRBODEN

Day 3: Zuoz – Celerina After a hearty breakfast, you hike from Zuoz to the quiet village of Madulain, the smallest municipality in the Upper Engadine. Further on the panoramic high-level hiking trail takes you past La Punt, Bever and Samedan to Celerina. This variant takes approx. 4.5 hours.

However, you have the option of changing to buses and trains en route, to shorten the hike. As an easier option, we recommend the attractive hiking route from Zuoz to Bever. At the bus stop Bever, village centre, take bus no. 6 in the direction of Celerina/St. Moritz. This takes you every hour at XX.56 and also at midday at XX.26 in 15 minutes to the Cresta Palace bus stop, which is directly opposite your next accommodation – the Cresta Palace Hotel. Here you can enjoy relaxing moments in the Vita Pura Spa, where you can loosen your muscles.

OUR TIP: stay 2 nights at the Hotel Castell in Zuoz and enjoy another day of hiking, for example with a detour to the wildlife-rich Val Trupchun in the centre of the Swiss National Park.

TRAVEL TIP:

Hiking from the Lake Geneva to the Lake Lauenen Hike through the most beautiful mountain landscapes from Lake Geneva to Lake Lauenen in the Saanenland. This medium-difficulty multi-day hike leads through various landscapes and linguistic regions and promises plenty of enjoyment, for example thanks to some Fribourg AOP products. At the end of each stage, pure relaxation and culinary delights await you – a hiking experience in a class of its own.

Hiking from the Lake Geneva to the Lake Lauenen 3 nights from CHF 865.− per person in DBL

ITINERARY: Day 1: On the Alpine Panorama Trail from Lac Léman to the Gruyère region After your arrival at Lac Léman, hand over your luggage to our courier for transport to the hotel (for an extra charge of CHF 35 per person) and follow the Pléiades trail through a wild and romantic pre-Alpine landscape. Enjoy the breathtaking view over Lake Geneva, the Dents du Midi and Mont Blanc. In the idyllic Les Paccots, the newly opened Boutique Hotel Corbetta awaits you with cosy rooms, local wooden décor, regional specialities and a small but excellent spa where you can relax.

Day 2: In Gruyère, the home of Switzerland’s favourite cheese The breakfast buffet the next morning provides a culinary insight into the canton of Fribourg: Cuchaule (a saffron bread), Jambon de la Borne (camembert-smoked ham) and Gruyère cheese are AOP products that

www.privateselection.ch

can only be found in this quality in the canton itself. The hike from Les Paccots to Gruyères reveals striking aspects of the region’s landscape. Up through the rustic forest, along the foot of the Teysachaux and Moléson towards Gruyère. Alpine huts in typical Fribourg style are scattered here and there. Around 30 of them produce Gruyère AOP, the hard cheese that was probably the first cheese to be exported on a large scale in the Middle Ages. With a view first of Lake Gruyère and later of the small town of Gruyères, the route descends swiftly across alpine meadows to the stage destination of Gruyères. Visit the Maison du Gruyère before immersing yourself in the enchanting medieval town of Gruyère perched on the hill. After a short bus ride, you will reach Charmey and the Chalet-Hotel Cailler. Relax in the Bains de la Gruyère with a water landscape of more than 650 m2 (free admission included) and enjoy regional specialities with a French twist in the hotel bistro in the evening.

Hiking from the Lake Geneva to the Lake Lauenen

Day 3: Along the unique Gastlosen mountain chain On the third stage, you can hear just how diverse Switzerland is in terms of languages. While French is spoken in Charmey, Jaun, just ten minutes away by bus, is characterised by a distinctive German dialect. On the Jaun Pass, in Bernese territory, Simmental dialect is spoken. From Jaun, the chairlift takes you comfortably to the mountain lodge Gastlosen – the starting point for a panoramic hike in a class of its own. Captivated by the sight of the impressive Gastlosen mountain chain – also known as the "Swiss Dolomites" due to their striking shape – you set off in the direction of Gstaad-Schönried, with an optional detour to the Gruben mountain lodge. On arrival at the ERMITAGE Wellness & Spa Hotel, enjoy a delicious snack with homemade cakes and tarts. Relax your strained muscles in the spacious wellness area with outdoor saltwater pool and round off the day with a delicious multi-course dinner. Pure pleasure!

Day 4: From a luxurious holiday resort to a small hideaway in the heart of unspoilt nature And then continue on foot through the fascinating mountain world of the Saanenland. We have selected two hikes for you that will take you to the cosy mountain village of Lauenen: either the hard core tour on the Via Alpina through the wildly romantic Turbach Valley and over the "Türli" or the leisurely hike from Gsteig near Gstaad past the castle falls to Lauenen. On both hikes you can enjoy marvellous views of the icy mountain backdrop of the Wildstrubel and Wildhorn. At the end in sight: the Chalet-Hotel Alpenland in Lauenen. A hotel that combines genuine Swiss tradition with culinary delights under one cosy roof.

The next day you hike to Lake Constance, where you will be enchanted by the light sea breeze.

Alpine Panorama Trai l 3 nights from CHF 915.– per person in DBL

ITINERARY: Day 1 (and 2): (Pre)relax at the Hotel Hof Weissbad Your journey starts with a 1- or 2-night stay at the Hotel Hof Weissbad where you can leave your everyday life behind and simply feel good.

Enjoy genuine hospitality and Appenzell tradition in the midst of nature. Let yourself be tempted by the spa offers and a culinary 4-course menu in the evening.

www.privateselection.ch

Day 2 (or 3): From Bühler through the picturesque Appenzell landscape to Heiden Your hiking experience begins in the Appenzell village of Bühler, where you hike through gently rolling hills and lush green pastures.

After a first ascent, you can quench your thirst in the “Hohe Buche“ restaurant with a great view of nature in the Alpstein. The path leads you on to Trogen. There, in the streets and alleyways around the village square, you can admire the precisely arranged wooden farmhouses and factory buildings. Trogen is also known for the Pestalozzi Children’s Village, which was built after the Second World War for orphans affected by the war and continues to support children in Switzerland and all over the world.

On the Alpine Panorama Trail through Eastern Switzerland

For leisurely hikers, the experience only starts in Trogen. The Alpine Panorama Trail leads via Chastenloch over a steep ascent to Reheto3 bel. From there, your stamina is once again called for, to reach the highest point of this stage, the Kaienspitz at 1,122 m above sea level.

You will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Alpstein and the Säntis. The route then descends to Heiden, a village in Biedermeier style, which lies on a sunny terrace high above Lake Constance.

Here it is worth taking a detour to the museum of Henry Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross, who spent the last 23 years of his life in Heiden. Or discover the Biedermeier village from a bird’s eye view from the church tower – the 157 steps up to the tower room are well worth it!

You can also look forward to an extensive wellness visit at the Hotel Heiden to relax. In the evening you can indulge in a 4-course menu.

Travelling to Lipperswil: Travel comfortably by train to Weinfelden and from there by post bus to the Wellnesshotel Golf Panorama. If you are travelling by your own car, there is a free outdoor car park available.

Day 1: Through vineyards and beautiful forests Your bike tour starts after a restful night at the Wellnesshotel Golf Panorama in the canton of Thurgau. The cycle path via Steckborn leads through vineyards and beautiful woodlands and along the lake to the little medieval town of Stein am Rhein. It is definitely worth making a stop here. Continue to Radolfzell to the bora HotSpaResort.

Your luggage awaits you as well as a cosy time-out in the wellness area. www.privateselection.ch

Day 2: Always beautiful along the lake The second stage of your Lake Constance bike tour is the longest with a total of 70 kilometres. We recommend that you plan enough time for this, to marvel at the many sights along the way. From Radolfzell you cycle to Constance and from there on to the beautiful flower island of Mainau. In Mainau you can shorten the route and enjoy a lovely ferry ride to Meersburg. A visit to the small town of Meersburg is definitely worthwhile. From here then cycle on to Lindau or Bregenz

From here on keep following the signs in the direction of Romanshorn.

Mountainbike Tour Grisons © Destination Davos Klosters / Martin Bissig

ITINERARY: Day 1: Over the Duranna Pass to Klosters and on to Davos After a restful night’s sleep and a sumptuous breakfast buffet at Blatter’s Hotel Arosa, you set off on the first stage of your mountain bike tour. From Arosa, you first ride down to the Isel reservoir and follow the Plessur to Langwies. Now you can pedal harder, as the ascent to the Durannapass follows. On the way you can recharge your batteries at the Strassberg mountain inn for the the remaining metres up to the top of the pass. Once you arrive there, the route leads downhill again on varied single trails that offer a wonderful mix of landscape and culture. At the Schifer turn right towards Klosters. Via Davos Wolfgang and Davos Dorf you finally reach Davos Platz, where you are welcomed at the Grischa – DAS Hotel Davos.

Day 2: Continue over the Albula Pass or Scaletta Pass into the Engadine The next morning you get back on your bike saddle and set off towards Davos Monstein. Due to storm damage the Zügen canyon between Davos Monstein and Davos Wiesen remains closed until at least the beginning of summer 2024. We therefore recommend to cover this section with the Rhaetian Railway. Please make sure to buy a valid ticket for yourself as well as a ½ price ticket for your bike and press the button “Stop on request“. From Davos Wiesen then whizz down the Landwasser valley to Filisur. Admire the impressive land water viaduct of the Rhaetian Railway.

For very experienced mountain bikers, it is recommended to use the Scaletta Pass to Zuoz. The alpine route leads from Davos Platz first via the former hem path along the Dischma stream to Dürrboden. From there you tackle the Scaletta Pass. At the top of the pass at 2,606 metres above sea level you can enjoy your lunch with breathtaking view of the Val Susauna. The descent on the single trail to Alp Funtauna demands your full concentration (difficulty S4) but is worthwhile. Afterwards, the route runs more comfortably and leads through the Val Susauna to S-Chanf and Zuoz.

INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE

2nd leg: Davos Platz – Scalettapass – Zuoz (technically difficult) 36 km

In Filisur you tackle the Albula Pass. On route a short stop at Lai da Palpuogna with its crystal clear water and the larch forest is definately worth it. After having arrived on the Albula pass, you deserve a refreshment in the mountain inn Albula Hospiz. There is also the possibility to charge ebikes. Strengthened follow the Albula Trail (difficulty S1) down to La Punt in the Upper Engadine. From there it’s just a stone’s throw to your next private Selection Hotel Castell in Zuoz.

Lake route ITINERARY: Day 1: From Lake Geneva to the mountains of the Gruyère region You start your bike tour in Montreux and follow Lake Geneva along the cycle route 9 “Lake Route“ to Vevey. In Corsier-sur-Vevey you will retrace Charlie Chaplin’s footsteps in the “Chaplin’s World“ museum.

Enjoy the Mediterranean feeling of Lake Geneva one last time before immersing yourself in the mountains of Gruyère. In Châtel-St-Denis, instead of following the route to the left, turn right at the roundabout and continue to Les Paccots and the Boutique Hotel Corbetta.

Day 2: In Switzerland’s cheese and chocolate paradise The next morning, you cycle back to Bulle via Châtel-Saint-Denis on the lake route no. 9. Continue with a short diversion to the picturesque town of Gruyères, which is world-famous thanks to its castle and medieval walls. In Pringy, at the bottom of the valley experience the production of Gruyère cheese up close at the Maison du Gruyère. Here you change to the Alpine Panorama Route No. 4 to Broc, home of the Cailler chocolate. An optional detour takes you to the Lac de la Gruyère.

Continue cycling along Route 59 via Lac de Montasalvens to Charmey.

At the Hotel Cailler, which is directly connected to the “Les Bains de la Gruyère“, you have earned a break after all these impressions.

Day 3: Through the Gruyère Nature Park Your cycle tour starts the next day with a crossing through the Gruyère Nature Park, where man, nature and culture form a special connection.

The cycle path takes you past alpine meadows, and wooded areas. The wild and romantic Grischbach valley before Gstaad offers wonderful views of the park landscape and winding roads for a lively biking adventure! At the Hotel ERMITAGE you will be eagerly awaited. Enjoy the large wellness and spa facilities and treat yourself to a gourmet dinner. www.privateselection.ch

Day 4: Tradition in the Simmental You whizz down the Simmental valley on the saddle of your bike to the unequal Lake Thun and Lake Brienz. But don’t cycle too fast, otherwise you will miss the artistically decorated wooden houses, the numerous old bridges, the steep mountain faces and the impressive waterfalls. The people of the valley celebrate their pride in their homeland with alpine culture. So treat yourself to a short break and enjoy the local specialities of the Simmental. After about three hours you reach the charming town of Spiez, nestled in the bay of Lake Thun. Spiez, with the Hotel Eden, where you can recover from the cycling stage.

Day 5: Deep clear mountain lakes and a winding pass This cycle route will amaze you as it takes you along Lake Thun to the world-famous resort of Interlaken, at the foot of the impressive triumvi-

Lake route

rate: the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. The absolute highlight is the path along the shore of the deep turquoise-blue Lake Brienz. Once you reach the end of the lake, follow the Aare as far as Unterbach. Now it’s time to pedal hard and off you go over the winding Brünig Pass. Once at the top, you will be rewarded for your efforts by the glistening waters of the idyllic natural reservoir. Then, at the end of the toughest stage of the Lake Route, a rapid descent down to Lake Sarnen, where the Seehotel Wilerbad invites you to relax and enjoy.

Day 6: On the trail of glassblowing Get in the saddle one last time and cycle past Lake Sarnen to Lake Lucerne with its beautiful mountain backdrop. Soon you will pass the municipality of Hergiswil which is famous for the Siegwart brothers’ glassworks, who have been making glass here for over 200 years. Visit the museum and marvel at how the glassblowers skilfully transform the the glowing mass into glass or blow your own glass. The tour then continues to Lucerne, where you can visit the landmark, the Chapel bridge and the charming old town. The Hotel Schweizerhof is located directly on the beautiful riverside promenade with a view of the world-famous KKL convention centre.

Sustainability

Our commitment to conscious and sustainable travelling "We cannot change the wind, but set the sails differently!"

– Aristotle

Sustainable travel combines awareness and profundity with local enjoyment, indigenous culture and authentic experiences. We are committed to the preservation of our beautiful nature, cultural heritage and enchantingly personalised hospitality, so that you, dear guests, can continue to enjoy the pleasures of travelling in the future.

Authenticity, regional roots, utilisation of regional products and genuine hospitality have always been very important to us. Together, we are going one step further. We have firmly anchored sustainability in our business strategy and have developed a concept that will enable the Private Selection Hotels and the head office to develop together towards a sustainable future. When implementing our sustainability measures, we are focussing on 4 areas:

REDUCTION OF CO2 EMISSIONS With measures such as the Food Save Management programme, which we are tackling in collaboration with United Against Waste, as well as joint workshops and trainings on resource savings, we are endeavouring to reduce C02 emissions.

SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY When developing our tours and hotel offers we pay particular attention to offering our guests nature, culture and customs experiences in an authentic and sustainable way. We support travelling by public transport and, with OK:GO initiative, we actively communicate accessibility for people with limited mobility.

REGIONAL & SEASONAL PRODUCTS Feel where you eat with all your senses. That’s why Private Selection Hotels put regional specialities on the menu and strengthen cooperation with local producers by purchasing regional and seasonal products.

COMMITMENT TO EMPLOYEES & APPRENTICES Our employees are our most important resource. That’s why we are committed to providing attractive working conditions, development opportunities and the promotion of young talents. One example therefore is our Climate Company Challenge, in which 45 apprentices from 15 hotels work together with coaches from myclimate on climate protection projects and have the chance to win attractive prizes for them.

We are Swisstainable. We are part of the sustainability programme and are classified as Level II - engaged. The sustainability programme Swisstainable unites businesses and organisations across the entire Swiss tourism sector. With our programme, we are committed to continuous sustainable corporate development, pursue measures in the area of sustainability and thus make a concrete contribution to sustainable Swiss tourism.

Sustainability Authenticity, regional anchoring, use of regional products and lived hospitality have always had a high priority in the Private Selection Hotels. Together we are going one step further: In April 2022, all our member hotels committed themselves to actively working towards a sustainable future with various joint and individual measures. A detailed sustainability concept has been drawn up with which the sustainable development of the Private Selection Hotels is being driven forward. The project is supported by Innotour, the funding instrument of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO of Switzerland.

Experience Guarantee Have high expectations of your hotel – as you should for your entire holiday. Alongside relaxation and pleasure, in your Private Selection Hotel, you also look for new and exciting experiences, to keep yourself active, and combine nature and culture, history and present day, wine and gastronomy. Our holiday experience designers conjure up your personal holiday experience out of your desires with a service chain that runs from start to finish.
