The journey, day by day

Day 1

Geneva and Lausanne · Elegance beside Lake Geneva

Arrival in Geneva and private meet & greet at the airport. The first glimpse of Switzerland comes between stately façades, flags waving beside the lake and the silhouette of the Jet d'Eau rising over the water. Accompanied by your private guide, you will discover the historic centre of Geneva: St. Peter's Cathedral, Bourg-de-Four square, the alleys of the old town and the Parc des Bastions.

Arriving at Lake Geneva, when the landscape starts blending water, vineyards and mountains into a profoundly Swiss image

Day 2

Lavaux and Chillon · Vineyards suspended over the water

The day begins with a first-class cruise across Lake Geneva, bound for the Montreux area. The water accompanies the crossing with an almost theatrical calm, while the mountains begin to appear against the horizon. Private visit to the Château de Chillon, a medieval fortress literally set between the lake and the Alps, filled with history and legends.

Day 3

Glacier 3000 and Gstaad · Eternal snow, suspension bridge and high mountains

Private departure to the region of Les Diablerets and Glacier 3000. The road climbs little by little toward a more alpine landscape, where the forests give way to rock walls, clean air and open summits. At Glacier 3000 you will experience one of the most scenic moments of the trip: the Peak Walk by Tissot, the suspension bridge that connects two summits at about 3,000 metres of altitude.

Day 4

Zermatt and Gornergrat · Facing the Matterhorn

Private transfer to Täsch and continuation by shuttle train to Zermatt, the car-free alpine village at the foot of the Matterhorn. Arriving has a ritual quality: the sound of the train, the pedestrian streets, the dark chalets and the mountain appearing between rooftops like a perfect image.

The Omnia Zermatt

Seeing the Matterhorn from Gornergrat, surrounded by glaciers and alpine silence — one of Europe's great natural icons

Day 5

Zermatt · Matterhorn flyover and panoramic train to Andermatt

The morning is reserved for a truly special experience: a private panoramic helicopter flight over the Matterhorn area, always subject to weather. From the air, Zermatt becomes a perfect model between glaciers, snow ridges and deep valleys.

The Chedi Andermatt

The contrast between the Matterhorn seen from the air and the arrival in Andermatt, one of the country's most exclusive alpine retreats

Day 6

Lucerne and Bürgenstock · The classic Switzerland beside the lake

Private departure to Lucerne, one of Switzerland's most beautiful cities. Its old town, the Chapel Bridge, the Dying Lion and the painted façades compose a living postcard beside Lake Lucerne. After the private tour, continuation to the Bürgenstock area, elevated above the lake, where the mountains seem to fall directly into the water.

Day 7

Interlaken and Jungfraujoch · The top of Europe

Private transfer to Interlaken, crossing lakes and valleys that herald the entrance to the Bernese Oberland. From here begins the experience towards Jungfraujoch, known as the Top of Europe, sitting at 3,454 metres of altitude. The ascent combines mountain train, Swiss technology and landscapes of ice, snow and rock.

Day 8

Lauterbrunnen and Mürren · Waterfalls, meadows and alpine tradition

Today you discover one of Switzerland's most photogenic valleys. Lauterbrunnen unfolds between vertical walls, green meadows and waterfalls dropping from impossible heights. The Staubbachfall descends like a veil of water over the village, while the Trümmelbach falls reveal the force of the snowmelt hidden inside the mountain.

Day 9

Oeschinensee and Bern · Turquoise lake and medieval capital

Departure to Kandersteg to reach Lake Oeschinensee, one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the country. The cable car climbs through forests and mountains to a setting of turquoise water surrounded by rocky walls, where silence seems to amplify the beauty of the landscape. Afterwards, continuation to Bern for a UNESCO-listed private tour of its historic centre along the Aare river.

Day 10

Zurich and return · Design, chocolate and a Swiss farewell

Final morning in Zurich, a refined, orderly and vibrant city where the Limmat river runs through an old town of guildhouses, historic churches and elegant boutiques. Private tour of the historic centre, with Lindenhof, Grossmünster, Bahnhofstrasse and the most beautiful corners by the river.
