Very happy to have availed the service of PYT for our Europe trip. We were well supported in our VISA processing. The logistics was planned well and we had all the necessary bookings and tickets with us. The instructions were very clear. At every point there was chat communication from the team, in india, netherlands, germany and switzerland. It helped us calm down in some of the tricky situations. A member called us to check on us and it made feel safe at all times. All the Hotels were very clean, cozy and very close to train and bus stations. Strongly recommend Pick your trail, for a stress free travel experience.Sivapriya Iyer, Trip to Switzerland

Switzerland summer-getaway: A 12-Night 13-Day Itinerary

Switzerland, a land where time seems to stand still among the majestic Alps, invites travelers to embark on a 12-night journey like no other. Picture yourself strolling through the cobblestone streets of Bern, soaking in the medieval charm, or cruising on the serene Lake Lucerne, surrounded by towering peaks. Each corner of this breathtaking destination is a treasure waiting to be uncovered, blending nature’s artistry with rich cultural heritage.

Highlights of the Destination

  • Explore Bern's UNESCO-listed Old Town, home to stunning Gothic architecture and the iconic Zytglogge clock tower.
  • Experience the breathtaking views from the Schilthorn and savor a delightful meal at the revolving restaurant Piz Gloria.
  • Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Lucerne, where lake, mountains, and history converge seamlessly.
  • Indulge in chocolate at the Lindt Home of Chocolate Museum in Zurich, a sweet delight for every visitor.

Travel Tips for Switzerland

  • Swiss public transport is efficient; consider getting a Swiss Travel Pass for unlimited travel on trains, buses, and boats.
  • Be prepared for varying weather; layers are essential, even in summer, as mountain temperatures can drop.
  • Try local cuisines such as fondue and raclette; they offer a true taste of Swiss culture.
  • Book your excursions, especially popular attractions like the Titlis and Pilatus, in advance to avoid long queues.

Conclusion

A 12-night summer getaway in Switzerland is not just a vacation; it’s an experience that lingers in your heart long after you’ve returned home. Whether you’re marveling at the stunning landscapes or immersing yourself in the local culture, every moment is a celebration of life's beauty. This enchanting journey will leave you with cherished memories, beckoning you to return to the land of chocolate, cheese, and breathtaking vistas.

Well planned and customised the iternary as per our Requirement. Enjoyed our first Europe trip of 11 days (Paris & Switzerland). Through out involvement of staff to create a hasle free journey. Madhur for booking, Subash for in between planning, live support during travel by Selina, Taniya, Janani and many more. Only thing i would like to suggest that inclusion and exclusion should be notified through call at the time of booking. Not like 3 days before travel. So customer should have choice of selection either to go for it or not. Overall it was a Perfect Experience. Thank u everyone.
