Celebration Holidays In Switzerland 2025

No matter at what time of year your special day falls, we can arrange a memorable holiday in Switzerland to help you celebrate. Here are just a few ideas to tempt you, but our team are on hand to recommend suitable destinations whenever you would like to go.

Winter - imagine staying in a cosy mountain hotel, enjoying drinks by the open fire and having miles upon miles of breathtaking snowscapes to explore. The alpine winter isn't just for skiers! Read more about our winter holidays here.

Spring - flowers burst into colour at the water's edge, particularly the southern lakes of Maggiore and Lugano, and spring walks are a delight in the narcissi fields near Lake Geneva. Easter is a great time to visit and sample the Swiss chocolate!

Summer - the classic lakes and mountains season, when the blue sparkling water contrasts against the green wooded slopes. The warm sun tempts you to take day cruises and embark on scenic walking trails.

Autumn - how about a scenic rail holiday taking in the autumnal spectacle of nature's annual fiery display. We recommend a stay in Pontresina with a trip on the Bernina Express.

If you are travelling to celebrate a special occasion, there is no doubt that you want a good hotel. We will arrange the best to suit your budget, from family-run hotels who personally see to it that our customers are looked after as honoured guests, to elegant five star establishments with plenty of facilities and excellent dining. These are just a few personal recommendations from our travels around Switzerland.

The spectacular lakes and mountains scenery of Switzerland lends itself to creating lifelong memories. There are any number of special excursions you may want to embark upon during your stay in Switzerland. These are some of the very best. 

In the Lake Lucerne region, a lake cruise on an elegant paddle steamer is a must for any visitor. For those celebrating, we recommend upgrading to 1st class and booking a Sunday brunch cruise during which you can indulge in Swiss delicacies and enjoy the passing scenery.

Over in the Bernese Oberland, there are mountain delights - a meal in the revolving restaurant atop the Schilthorn mountain or a sunset drinks on the Harder Kulm with beautiful views over Interlaken and the Jungfrau mountains.

If you are in the Valais region, why not visit the Rothorn mountain - it offers one of the most glorious views of the Matterhorn, which you can admire while you walk or relax and enjoy a Champagne picnic.

Another great place to sip Champagne is at the Schatzalp resort in the Graubünden region, which also offers a delightful Alpine Garden. If natural beauty captivates you, head for the Brissago Islands on Ticino's Lake Maggiore - heavenly subtropical flowers bloom here and make for a special day out. 

Of the many scenic rail day trips, two of the most charming are the Chocolate Train with its Belle Epoque carriages and the historic Furka Line steam train. Both of these are extremely popular with visitors wanting a very special experience, so we do recommend that you book in advance.

Many people choose to mark a special occasion with a longer, multi centre holiday, so that they can experience more of this spectacular country. The best way to travel around Switzerland is on one of the famous scenic rail journeys and we will be delighted to put together an itinerary for you, incorporating your choice of resorts and journeys. Many of the famous trains such as the Glacier Express and Bernina Express have panoramic viewing carriages, with huge windows for you to enjoy the passing scenery. We can highly recommend the exclusive Excellence Class carriage on the Glacier Express, with a suggested itinerary staying in 4 star hotels in Zermatt and St. Moritz. For the ultimate scenic holiday, you can combine several scenic journeys on our Grand Scenic Train Tour. There is perhaps no finer way to spend a special day than to indulge yourself with a bottle of bubbly and a magnificent panoramic view of beautiful Switzerland gliding past you.
