PYT truly helped us from A to Z in planning and executing our recent Europe trip covering Switzerland, Finland, and Paris. Everything was taken care of seamlessly from the very beginning until the end of our journey. A special thanks to Akhil from the sales team, Srivatsan from the customer team, and the entire customer support team, including Chandramouli, Naveen, and Dinesh. Each one of them was extremely helpful, responsive, and ensured that every detail was handled neatly and efficiently. Whenever we needed any support, they were always there to assist us without delay. Overall, the entire team made our travel experience incredibly smooth, stress-free, and truly wonderful. We are really, really satisfied with the services provided and couldnt have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much to the PickYourTrails team and everyone who helped make this trip memorable!Bharani Tharan, Trip to Switzerland

Experience the Magic of Switzerland in 7 Nights

Switzerland in winter is like stepping into a snow globe, where every corner is draped in enchanting white, and the air is filled with the sweet scent of roasted chestnuts. During my 7-night journey, I discovered the diverse charm of this alpine paradise. From the thrill of Interlaken's winter sports to the serene beauty of Lucerne's lakeside, every day was a new adventure wrapped in a cozy layer of snow. I connected with locals, savored Swiss delicacies, and explored the stunning landscapes that seem to be straight out of a fairy tale.

Highlights of the Destination

  • Interlaken: Nestled between two shimmering lakes, the heart of adventure awaits. Try skiing, snowboarding, or even a winter jetboat ride for a twist of adrenaline.
  • Lucerne: With its iconic Chapel Bridge and the majestic surrounding mountains, Lucerne is the perfect base to explore the Swiss Alps. Don’t miss the enchanting steamer cruise on Lake Lucerne.
  • Montreux: Famous for its Jazz Festival, this town is a winter wonderland with breathtaking views of the Alps and the glistening Lake Geneva.
  • Schilthorn: Offering panoramic views of the Swiss skyline and a unique dining experience in its revolving restaurant, this peak is a must-visit for breathtaking vistas.

Travel Tips for Switzerland

  • Swiss Pass: Invest in a Swiss Pass for unlimited travel on trains, buses, and boats, plus free admission to many attractions.
  • Dress in Layers: Swiss winters can be chilly. Layer your clothing to stay warm while enjoying outdoor activities.
  • Local Cuisine: Don't miss trying fondue and raclette while in Switzerland. The rich flavors will warm your soul!
  • Morning Excursions: Start your days early to fully enjoy the scenic beauty without the crowds, especially at popular tourist spots.

Conclusion

My week in Switzerland was a delightful blend of adventure, relaxation, and breathtaking scenery. Each city offered its own unique charm, from the thrill-seeking experiences in Interlaken to the tranquil beauty of Lucerne and the vibrant culture of Montreux. Whether you're a budget traveler or seeking luxury, this winter escape offers endless opportunities for making unforgettable memories amidst the stunning Swiss landscape.

We had a trip planned by them to Paris,France and Lucerne, Switzerland for 6 days. The pre-trip support with itinerary, visa assistance and bookings were good, there was no issues or errors during this period. Then during the trip we were accurately communicated the steps to follow and ways to reach the destinations beforehand and their customer support service was available online via their app and had quick response. As this was the first time we had an agency plan our trip so can't compare to other platforms but pick your trails was good and there was no complaints from us.
