Switzerland is a destination that feels both grounding and indulgent — where snow-dusted mountains meet shimmering lakes, and every train ride feels like a scene from a movie. From the iconic resorts of St. Moritz and Gstaad to the tranquil shores of Lake Lucerne, Switzerland is luxury wrapped in nature.

Where to Stay:

  • Baur au Lac in Zurich — lakeside grandeur.
  • Badrutt’s Palace in St. Moritz — timeless alpine glamour.
  • The Chedi Andermatt — contemporary design meets mountain calm.


What to Do:

  • Glacier Express train from Zermatt to St. Moritz.
  • Lake Lucerne cruises and spa days in Vevey or Montreux.
  • Chocolate and watchmaking experiences in Geneva.

Beth’s Insider Tip:

  • Travel by train — Switzerland’s rail system is as luxurious as it is scenic. Sit in panoramic class on the Glacier Express for views that redefine “first class.”
