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.”
