Carbon Neutral Trip
Welcome to the birthplace of winter tourism—where the Alps show off and the Engadine delivers snow-dusted perfection. Hike on pristine trails, ski across powdery expanses, fat-tire bike over frozen lakes, or glide through silent forests in a horse-drawn carriage like it’s 1864 (but with better après). Between charming alpine villages and sky-high peaks, and the centuries-old celebration of Chalandamarz— this snowy playground serves up quintessential Swiss adventure—wrapped in warmth, wonder, and serious style.
Experience the magic of Switzerland in the winter exactly as the locals do—with festivals, incredible après, spas, and the right amount of activity to embrace the special side of winter.
Settle in for a luxurious stay at the iconic Grand Hotel Kronenhof, where you’ll unpack just once and be immersed in Switzerland’s famed world-class hospitality.
Snowshoe in magical Graubünden, master cross-country skiing in the Engadine, and fat-tire bike into chic St. Moritz—this is winter in Switzerland as you’ve never seen it before.
