Switzerland & the Alps
The Swiss
Alps reverberate with cowbells, accordions, and laughter. We make our home
base in the year-round playground of Interlaken, the town between two
lakes. We sail across glacial Lake Brienz, famous for its beautiful wood
carving. We head to the spectacular Lauterbrunnen Valley for a heart-stopping
gondola ride to alpine heights, and hike past flower-filled
meadows and
mountain chalets. Then its off to vibrant Zurich for shopping, chocolate and
tasty Swiss cuisine.

Christmas in Switzerland
Hot spiced cider
and strains of O Tannenbaum warm our hearts as we head to Europe for
Christmas. Switzerland has a special glow this time of year and we find
plenty of good cheer in the bright Christmas markets and toasty ski
lodges. We begin in German-speaking Zurich with its glittering trees and
festive music. We veer off the beaten path to the medieval towns
Bremgarten and Einsiedeln. Then we discover French-speaking Switzerland on
the shores of Lake Geneva. Dog sledding on a glacier and a visit with
Father Christmas round out the trip.
