Discover Switzerland

From alpine adventures to days spent exploring the shores of Lake Constance, Switzerland is the perfect destination for an active vacation. Bike Switzerland with VBT to experience the mountain bliss and urban splendor of this European gem.

The cobbled medieval lanes of Basel’s Old Town—where Swiss, German and French culture converge—are home to a thriving arts scene, bold architecture, and numerous museums. Set amidst snow-covered peaks, Zurich provides endless cultural opportunities, with museums, operas and ballets taking center stage. Geneva’s spotless city center straddles a stunning Alpine lake and serves as headquarters for hundreds of international organizations. Bern boasts a beautiful medieval old town juxtaposed with cutting edge modern art and architecture. Swiss cities have it all, and are never far removed from the country’s great outdoor playground.

Outside of Switzerland’s perfectly kept cities is a stunning canvas of alpine beauty and pristine countryside. Clanging cowbells greet you as you roll by vivid green pastures and take in riveting mountain vistas. The landscapes around Lake Constance are a patchwork of postcard scenes: meadows blooming with alpine flowers, rolling vineyards and orchards, and beautiful beaches. Bike Switzerland with VBT to experience it all on two wheels.

Chocolate

Eat your way through some of the best chocolate in the world. Whether you’re touring the Lindt & Sprüngli factory and stocking up on factory seconds, or sampling handmade truffles in a local confectioner’s shop, you’ll find endless opportunities to satisfy your sweet tooth in the land that brought you Toblerone and Nestlé.

Cheese

Think beyond the ubiquitous deli slices found in the US—Switzerland makes an incredible array of cheeses. Sample Gruyère and Emmentaler at farms that have been producing them for centuries. Try gooey Raclette melted over a pile of roasted potatoes, or dine on a traditional fondue to warm up on a chilly evening.

Watchmaking History

Switzerland has long been known around the world for its watches. Explore the Patek Philippe Museum, which tells the story of Swiss watchmaking from the 16th century to present day. Attend a watchmaking workshop to learn the intricacies of the trade, or simply shop for a souvenir to bring home that will last a lifetime.
