Switzerland is a spectacle scripted by Mother Nature. Nearly half of Switzerland is glaciers, forests, peaks and lakes. In this country of many resonances, the wild and the free co-exist with an unrelenting sense of order. Sunlit meadows and pastures dotted with plump cows echo with the tinkle of cow bells while deep, dark-green forests and alpine heights are threaded with mountain streams.
It is a country that exudes glowing good health and is virtually crime-free. The tiny multi-cultural nation in the heart of Europe, shares common frontiers with five countries—Germany, France, Italy, Austria and the tiny Principality of Liechtenstein. At the crossroads of the continent, it is a focal point of international air, road and rail traffic and easily accessible within hours from major European cities and centers.
There are picturesque tourist cities like Geneva (the birthplace of the Red Cross) and Zurich, as well as pretty Lausanne and Montreux; the rugged Alps, adventure sports, a rich cuisine and superb infrastructure by way of hotels, roads and trains. Ultimately, Switzerland is for the agenda less—for those who like to swim in the bluest of lakes; trek up virgin mountain trails and chug up and down the mountains in sturdy little trains... Or, just relax amidst the shameless abundance of nature.
Driven by the desire to give the tourist value for money as well as freedom to do what he or she wants, Swiss tours has created the Swiss Travel Invention Program. A gamut of hotels from one star to five star hotels (and anything in between) to suit every taste and budget is available. The tariff veers from SFr ……per night to SFr …….Swiss-tours also has on tap a slew of apartments, chalets, and villas throughout Europe. These range from modest country homes to manors, castles and hotels. Bookings are made in advance on their on-line system and confirmation is given within seconds. All holiday homes are regularly inspected to ensure that standards are maintained . The rates range between SFr 650 and SFr 1,500 for two people on a weekly basis, from Saturday to Saturday.
For a tantalizing glimpse of Switzerland, Swiss tours has special rail packages which take in a few highlights such as the lakeside resort of Interlaken, the car-free town of Wengen, a trip to the Jungfraujoch, the highest railway station in Europe, the beguiling city of Lucerne, pulsating Lugano or Locarno. The packages include a lake cruise and a mountain train trip in a happy mix. The price ranges from SFr ….. to SFr …..
