Fly to Switzerland with Transavia Holidays and kick off your journey of discovery in Geneva. This global city is perfect for a city trip. It is located on the banks of the world-famous Lake Geneva and a quarter of the city is devoted to parks teeming with plants and flowers. It’s a wonderful place for walking, resting and enjoying the city. In the historic city centre, you’ll find plenty of sights, such as St. Peter’s Cathedral. Climb up the old tower and learn more about Protestantism in the nearby International Museum of the Reformation. The English Garden is also definitely worth a visit. Here you’ll find the well-known flower clock which is easily the most photographed spot in Geneva. If you’d like to see a different side of the city, book an evening cruise over Lake Geneva. You’ll enjoy spectacular views of the city as you savour a wonderful meal on the boat and cruise past the illuminated Jet d’Eau fountain.
The high elevation of the winter sports locations means you can be sure there will always be snow. If you’re going on holiday with children, then smaller ski resorts such as Savognin or Meiringen-Hasliberg are ideal. The slopes here are slightly wider and not so high, so they are perfect for practicing calmly. If you’d rather opt for more adrenaline or you are an experienced skier, then hit the slopes at Les 4 Vallées and Portes du Soleil. The highest lift in Les 4 Vallées goes up to a breathtaking 3,330 metres. This is where you’ll enjoy amazing views of the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. Even if you don’t like skiing, there are plenty of other sports activities to try in Switzerland during winter. For instance, there are endless kilometres of walking trails, snowshoe routes, ice rinks and super fast toboggan runs that make a winter sports holiday an unforgettable experience for everyone.
Did you know that you can find a true Italian paradise in the southernmost part of Switzerland? Italian is the official language in the Ticino region. The impressive buildings, picturesque cities and a wonderfully mild climate give it a veritable Mediterranean atmosphere. When you alternate between here and the high mountains, rugged cliffs and spectacular mountain lakes, you have a unique destination. Take a cycling tour through the Valle Maggia and enjoy its pristine nature and the numerous waterfalls where you can cool down. The 3 castles in Bellinzona, the capital of Ticino, are also worth a visit. These medieval fortresses are still in their original condition and will take you back in time. And don’t miss Ascona, Switzerland’s lowest lying town with a Mediterranean fishing vibe, colourful houses and inviting street cafés that wait for you in this exceptional city.
