4 Day | Magical Winter Lake And Mountains

Experience the enchantment of the Alps in winter, staying by Lake Geneva

Les Rochers-de-Naye view in winter
Montreux and Lake Geneva
Chillon Castle in winter

This is one of our 'Recommended winter holidays', which are well suited for a stay during the snowy months, when you'll experience Switzerland in a different way even if you are familiar with the scenic rail journeys in the summertime. The landscapes are simply beautiful and we include one or more day trips so that you can really get to know the lakes and mountains landscape in winter. Also included is your Swiss Travel Pass - for further travel at your leisure amidst the magical scenery. The holiday can be adapted in various ways to suit you, including upgrading your hotel room or adding more resorts and rail journeys.
