About Switzerland

Switzerland is a federal republic of 26 cantons and roughly 8.9 million people at the center of the Alps, with four official languages — German, French, Italian, and Romansh — reflecting its position between the major cultures of Western Europe. It isn't an EU member but is part of the Schengen area, and it keeps its own currency, the Swiss franc, rather than the euro; its official capital is Bern, though Zürich is the largest city and main economic hub. It's globally known for political neutrality, precision banking and watchmaking, and some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe.

Switzerland packs an outsized range of that scenery into a small area — Zürich's lakeside old town, Lucerne's medieval Chapel Bridge beneath the Alps, the high-mountain rail journey to Jungfraujoch, the Matterhorn towering over car-free Zermatt, and the vineyard-lined shores of Lake Geneva running past Montreux to Geneva itself. Switzerland's own rail network is famously easy to use independently, and several Voyzo itineraries lean into that, pairing private guided time in each city with train journeys between them.

Because Switzerland's highlights are spread across the country rather than clustered in one city, Voyzo's Switzerland tours are built as multi-day private circuits, with a private driver and vehicle for transfers and excursions at every stop and hotels arranged throughout. Some routes stay closer to the German-speaking cities and lakes, while others continue into the Alps and neighboring Austria and Italy.

Know Before You Go — Switzerland

Best Time to Visit

June through September is best for train journeys and mountain excursions like Jungfraujoch, with clearer skies and open hiking trails; December through March suits winter sports, though high-altitude sites can have reduced access in shoulder seasons.

Getting Around

Switzerland's rail network is among the most reliable in the world, and point-to-point train tickets make city-to-city travel genuinely easy, which is why several Voyzo itineraries are built around it.

Weather & What to Pack

Even in summer, temperatures at altitude (Jungfraujoch, Glacier 3000) can be near freezing, so layers and a warm jacket are worth packing regardless of how mild it is at lower elevations.

Money & Tipping

Switzerland uses the Swiss franc (CHF), not the euro, and is one of Europe's most expensive countries; a service charge is usually included in restaurant bills, so tipping is rounding up rather than a fixed percentage.

Language

German, French, Italian, and Romansh are all official languages, spoken in different regions of the country (Zürich and Lucerne are German-speaking, Geneva is French-speaking); English is widely understood in tourist areas regardless of region.

Local Tips

Zermatt is entirely car-free, so visitors arrive by train and get around town by electric taxi or on foot; the same applies to a handful of other Swiss mountain resorts.
