Day
01
Arrival to Vevey

From the town center, take the funicular (cog railway) up to Mont-Pèlerin. Quiet roads then lead you to the birthplace of Switzerland’s most beloved cheese: Gruyère, which shares its name with the surrounding landscape. A rich symphony of green hills, the soft chime of cowbells, and timeless traditions awaits you.

Switzerland: a postcard-perfect land of cheese dairies, chalets, snow-capped mountains, cable cars, the scent of hotels, and Scherenschnitt – the art of intricate paper-cut designs. Even beyond the idyllic scenery, the Pays-d'Enhaut and Saanenland offer a stunning landscape, alive with the buzz of celebrity and the charm of clever mountain folk.

The beautifully adorned wooden houses in the Simmental are among the most stunning in Europe. The Simme remains a wild river, providing a true challenge for rafters. Continuing on to Spiez, a watersports paradise on the cheerful shores of Lake Thun.

Start your day with a boat ride from Spiez to Interlaken. Along the shores of Lake Brienz, you’ll face some steep ascents as you make your way to Meiringen, where you’ll take the train over the Brünig Pass. You'll arrive in Obwalden—a small canton featuring a vast valley, a picturesque pre-Alpine landscape with scattered settlements, serene lakes, and a wealth of traditions.

Just as you catch a glimpse of Lake Lucerne, the majestic Pilatus rises to greet you. Cove after cove, you travel directly to Lucerne, a must-see destination for every traveler.
