Valais · Year-round
The Matterhorn & Zermatt
A car-free village beneath the most photographed mountain in Europe. Take the Gornergrat railway at first light.
Switzerland
Alpine Switzerland, arranged to the last detail.
Snow peaks, glass-still lakes and the most civilised railway in the world — planned by consultants who know which train, which room and which season.
Why Switzerland
Switzerland rewards precision. The difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one is usually a matter of sequence: which valley you sleep in, which side of the carriage you sit on, and which mountain you climb on the one clear morning of the week.
We build every Swiss journey around the weather, the rail timetable and the character of each town — then hold the rooms, the seat reservations and the transfers before they sell out.

Good to know
Visas
Switzerland is in the Schengen area. We prepare and lodge the application, including hotel and rail confirmations, for Saudi, GCC and Indian passport holders.
Best time
June to September for lakes, hiking and open passes. December to March for snow and skiing. May and October are quiet and beautiful.

Rail is faster and more comfortable than driving. A Swiss Travel Pass usually pays for itself from four days onward.
Trip length
Five nights is the practical minimum. Seven is the sweet spot. Ten allows all three language regions.
Currency
Swiss francs (CHF). Cards are accepted almost everywhere, including on mountain railways.
Dining
Halal and vegetarian options are available in every city we use; we book them in advance where the choice is thin.
Questions
Switzerland, answered.
How many days do we need in Switzerland?
Five nights covers two bases comfortably. Seven nights is our most requested length and allows Lucerne, the Bernese Oberland and Zermatt without rushing. Ten nights adds the French and Italian-speaking regions.
Do you arrange the Schengen visa?
Yes. We prepare the full file — confirmed hotels, rail bookings, insurance and the covering itinerary — and guide you through the appointment.
Is Switzerland suitable for families with young children?
Very much so. Trains, cable cars and lake steamers are an attraction in themselves, and we choose hotels with connecting rooms and early dining.
Can you arrange halal food?
Yes. We identify halal and vegetarian restaurants in each town on your route and reserve them in advance where availability is limited.
Is the Glacier Express worth a full day?
If you enjoy scenery, yes — it is one of the great rail journeys. If a full day feels long, we book the most spectacular half, from Zermatt to Andermatt or Chur to St. Moritz.
When should we book?
Three to five months ahead for summer and the Christmas period. The best rooms in Zermatt and St. Moritz, and Excellence Class rail seats, go first.
