Switzerland coming out of hibernation

START THE NEW YEAR IN STYLE WITH A TRIP TO SWITZERLAND

Discover the beauty of Switzerland as the snows of winter begin to thaw, the days become longer and spring returns in all its glory.

There are fantastic things to see and do all over Switzerland throughout the spring months. At the end of February and beginning of March, for example, you could take part in the traditional carnival celebrations in Lucerne and Basel and feel like a local. For a touch of the Mediterranean, spend your Easter holiday in Lugano or Locarno in the picturesque canton of Ticino and soak up the first rays of sunshine of the year. And a trip to Geneva, Lausanne, Bern or Zurich is worth it at any time – go shopping, sample Swiss chocolate and experience the unique culture and traditions of each city. Just remember to bring a coat for those chilly days.
