The Swiss Alps include peaks, valleys, lakes, and passes that have impressed travelers for a long time. This collection brings together places where nature shows its best side: the Matterhorn with its recognizable shape, the green waters of the Verzasca Valley, the Gornergrat view facing 29 peaks, and the St. Moritz lake that becomes a natural ice rink in winter. Alongside these natural sights, you will also see signs of local craftsmanship, like dams hanging on the rocky walls, funiculars and cogwheel trains that have climbed higher for more than a century, or cultural sites such as the Pierre Gianadda Foundation in Martigny. Each place tells in its own way how the Swiss tamed their mountains while respecting them. A journey between high altitude and a gentle way of life.
Switzerland holds a range of five-star hotels spread between alpine peaks and lakeshores. In Zermatt, several large properties offer direct views of the Matterhorn, including the Riffelalp Resort at 7300 feet (2222 meters). In cities like Zurich, Geneva and Basel, you find 19th-century buildings often set by the water. The Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois in Basel has stood on the Rhine since the 12th century. In Lausanne and along Lake Geneva, several palaces face the lake. Hotels in the Bernese Oberland sit in Interlaken, Gstaad and Engelberg, surrounded by mountains and valleys. On Lake Lucerne, the Hotel Schweizerhof in Lucerne and the Park Hotel Vitznau stand right by the shore. The Bürgenstock Hotel perches on a rock ledge above the lake. In Ticino, around Lugano and Locarno, buildings show Mediterranean facades and gardens with palms. Villa Honegg near Ennetbürgen offers a sweep of lake and mountain from its terrace. Most of these houses have restaurants with multiple stars, wine cellars and wellness areas. Some feature indoor and outdoor pools, others historic salons or modern spa facilites. The Suvretta House in St. Moritz and the Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina sit above 5600 feet (1700 meters) and are ringed by ski terrain. In Crans-Montana and Gstaad, you find smaller resorts with alpine character.
