Everyone knows Switzerland is a great ski destination – but did you know it also makes a fantastic year round holiday location for all the family?
Climbers have been coming to Switzerland for centuries, attracted by the challenges offered by the Eiger and Matterhorn, and there are plenty of guided climbs for the less experienced covering all age ranges and abilities.
Alpine markets, as well as wine and cheese festivals, abound in many regions throughout Autumn showcasing the very best of local produce. The traditional processions to bring the cattle herds down from the higher mountain slopes to the flat lowlands make a colourful, noisy and entertaining sight.
Mountain bike trails dip and curve through dramatic pine forests, with plenty of jumps and banked turns to test the skills of the most experienced riders. The crystal clear blue waters are perfect for sailing, swimming, fishing and other watersports.
Or simply relax and take the time to enjoy the great Swiss outdoors where a gentle walk on the lower slopes, or along the banks of Lake Geneva, offers the most stunning picture postcard views around every corner.
Whatever you’re preferences, with loads of flights a day from the UK to Geneva and prices from just £21.99 one way (including taxes), you’ll have even more left over to enjoy the famous Swiss hospitality after a fun packed day.
