St. Moritz is one of the world’s most famous holiday resorts. Chic, elegant and exclusive with a cosmopolitan ambience, it is located at 1,856 metres (6,089.2 ft) above sea level in the middle of the Upper Engadin lake landscape.

In summer months, be attracted by the incredibly bright colours, fresh air and range of activities including mountain biking; climbing, equestrian sports and hiking. Watersports lovers can also head to the lake for surfing, sailing and kiting in superb conditions on idyllic Lake Silvaplana, whilst golfers will be in their element at the fairway at 1,860 metres.

This destination also offers a truly unique setting when its cold too. Enjoy a full blanket of snow in the winter months and get to take part in a range of snowsports - including skiing, which is extremely popular here.

Lake Lugano is nestled between Lake Maggiore and Lake Como and lies partly in Switzerland and partly in Italy.  Although the smallest of the three lakes, Lake Lugano lacks for nothing in beauty, character or charm and its Mediterranean type climate ensures it remains popular all year round with visitors from around the world. Lake Lugano is unique in the sense that when viewed from above, its shape takes on the form of a river that twists and turns its way through the landscape.  With its Venetian-style villages and its rugged shoreline, it mirrors the charms of the more famous Lake Como.

Lake Lugano's waters and mountainous backdrop make the region a haven for water sports, hiking, trekking, mountain-biking, horse-riding, sailing, golfing and various other outdoor pursuits. While the towns and villages around the lake like Gandria, Morcote, Carona, Porlezza, Melide, San Mamete and Campione d'Italia offer visitors a world of history and culture with their medieval churches, art galleries, museums and sub-tropical parks and gardens.

Lucerne is known for its preserved medieval architecture, which sits amid its picturesque snow capped mountains and stunning Lake Lucerne. The town is compact yet lively with lots of indoor and outdoor attractions.

Walk within its preserved city walls and admire the lake from the enchanting Chapel Bridge or the historic buildings which showcase different types of architecture. You will be delighted to see houses varying with Baroque style architecture to early Renaissance Florentine style. 

There are also many museums and places to shop. On Hertensteinstrasse street, you will find the best chocolate shops, so be sure to stop by for a treat. And, if you want to dive deeper into the chocolate, visit the Swiss Chocolate Adventure. Learn how chocolate was discovered, its provenance and how it is manufactured.
