Mountains, lakes and trains that run to the minute
Switzerland made the Alpine holiday into an art. St Moritz claims to have invented the winter holiday, Zermatt sits beneath the Matterhorn, Verbier has the most famous off-piste in the Alps, and Gstaad has been the quiet choice of the discreetly wealthy for a century. The Swiss railways tie it all together with characteristic precision.
Our Switzerland collection runs to 590+ chalets and villas, from ski-in ski-out chalets with spas and staff to lakeside villas for the summer on Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne and the Italian-speaking lakes.
Here is a guide to the main resorts, with links to each.

Zermatt, Verbier and Crans-Montana
The Valais holds many of Switzerland's highest peaks.

Zermatt chalets
St Moritz and Davos
St Moritz, in the Engadin, hosted the Winter Olympics in 1928 and 1948 and remains the glamorous heart of Swiss winter life, with the Cresta Run and horse racing on the frozen lake. Davos, one of the highest towns in Europe, is known for its large ski area, its links with Klosters and the World Economic Forum each January.
St Moritz chalets
Gstaad, Grindelwald, Wengen and Villars
Gstaad is a village of strictly traditional chalets and quiet elegance. Grindelwald and Wengen sit beneath the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, with some of the most dramatic scenery in the Alps, and Villars, above the Rhône valley, is a sunny, family-friendly resort linked to the Glacier 3000.
Gstaad chalets
Lakes, mountains and trains
In summer, Switzerland's lakes and mountains come into their own, with villas on Lake Geneva, Lake Lucerne and the Ticino lakes and hiking from the chalet door. Geneva and Zurich are the main airports, and the rail network reaches every major resort. Our concierge can arrange transfers, ski hire, lessons and guides.
