Swiss Trip Travel Advice

We've learnt a few things over the years. Here's some straight up advice to consider when planning your trip to Switzerland.

Getting the most from your holiday

This is simple but priceless advice. If taking a long flight to get to Switzerland, allow yourself some time to recover before heading out to your resort. Organise a hotel for the day you arrive and take it easy and get a good nights sleep. The next day when you head out to your resort you’ll be fresh and ready to go.

Resort Transfers

Train transfers or vehicle transfers?

Train Transfer: If you’ve travelled a bit before you’ll most likely question the reliability of trains anywhere in the world. Switzerland is the exception to the rule. Swiss trains are convenient, clean, quiet, on time and very efficient for getting to and from your destination. Tickets also include cable cars and mountain trains so you are easily able to get right into your resort where either us or your hotel will pick you up and take you to the door of your hotel.

Vehicle transfers: If you’ve got a lot of luggage, lots of kids or don’t mind paying the price, Vehicle transfers maybe a good option.

Compare the two options;

  Travel time Leaves from Indicative Price
Train Transfer 2 to 2.5 hours depending on stops City & Airport *CHF124.00 per adult, return
Vehicle Transfer 2.5 to 3.5 hours depending on traffic City & Airport **CHF650.00 per vehicle one way (4 People)
* Children from 6 to 15 years inclusive travel free with a Family Card if accompanied by at least one parent. If not, 50% reduction on price.
** Price may vary depending on resort location, pick up time and number of people travelling.

Travelling with kids in cold climates

We’ve learnt that kids are tough when it comes to the cold. And if they get cold they’ll let you know about it and your day of skiing will be over. Apart from the obvious clothing issues – no skin showing – access to additional layers – fuel is important. Their young metabolisms will deal well with the cold although will let them down quickly if they don’t have enough energy. Ensure your kids have access to healthy snacks and drink plenty of fluid during your skiing day.
