The only thing more finely tuned than a Swiss timepiece is a Swiss escape with B&R. (But whatever you do, do not tell our watchmaking friends we said that—it's utter blasphemy.) Hike, bike or ski your way through postcard-perfect valleys, revel in cross-cultural charm and soak it all in at world-class spas and hotels.
From vibrant cities brimming with art and boutiques to charming villages and cultural diversity spanning Italian Ticino to French elegance and Swiss-German precision, Switzerland feels like several countries in one.
Whether you prefer easy hikes aided by scenic lifts, thrilling snowy mountain challenges or cycling routes from gentle to epic, Switzerland offers outdoor adventures for everyone in every season.
The Swiss take pride in exceptional hospitality, offering world-class hotels, indulgent spas, gourmet cuisine and impeccable service.
