'Tis the Season to be in Switzerland
Enjoy spectacular Switzerland at its holiday best. With the glistening peaks of Swiss Alps as your backdrop, you'll experience the holiday traditions of Europe on an active itinerary as you explore Switzerland during the Christmas season.

Visit the Best of Switzerland's Christmas Markets
You'll visit historic Basel—voted Switzerland's best Christmas Market—along with Christmas markets and festivities in Bern, Luzern, Lugano, Montreux, and Zurich as they are lit up and decked out for the holidays. In local Christmas markets you’ll typically find foods and local crafts showcased in winter settings as charming as any Christmas card. Enjoy the special Christmas atmosphere as in the old days - meeting up with friends, eating Christmas foods, drinking Gluhwein, and sampling special baked goods.You'll be on hand for the music, lights, and authentic traditions that make Christmas in Switzerland so memorable.

Discover Cherished Traditions
You’ll discover the origins of many of our most memorable Christmas traditions—Christmas trees, nutcrackers, twinkling lights, gingerbread and anis cookies. Christmas magic in the Swiss Alps is the perfect start to your holiday season. Alway surprising is a dinner cruise on Lake Lucerne as we visit the lakeside village of Küssnacht for their unforgettable Klausjagen procession to ring in St Nicholas Day.

Alps Sightseeing and Charming Swiss Villages
We visit the German, French, and Italian speaking regions so you'll see more of Switzerland than you ever thought possible. You'll discover the traditions, holiday foods, music, and other festivities in culturally vibrant and charming Alpine towns.

Zermatt and the Matterhorn at Christmas Time
Visiting Zermatt and the Matterhorn is always a special event, and especially during the Christmas season. We take the Gornergrat cogwheel railway to an elevation of over 10,000 feet where we have panoramic views of the Matterhorn and many of the highest peaks of the Swiss Alps surrounding us.
