Please join us on this
epic Swiss skiing and sightseeing adventure!
Our journey begins an arrival into
Geneva, Switzerland. A scenic drive along Lac Leman will bring us
to Montreux, the city known as the Pearl of the Swiss Riviera,
where we will spend our first night. The breathtaking scenery of
vineyards, the lake and the Swiss and French Alps will surround
us. The next morning, on our drive to Zermatt, we will stop at Chateau
de Chillon, a 13th century medieval castle that was the residence
of the Counts of Savoy throughout the Middle Ages.
Many skiers argue that Zermatt
is the finest ski resort in the world. The towering Matterhorn,
the absence of cars, and the resorts great sense of tradition give
Zermatt a special, alluring atmosphere. Zermatt sits at an elevation
of 5,315 feet at the end of a long valley surrounded by three major
ski areas with lifts reaching almost 13,000 feet. The entire area
is favored by a southern exposure, sheltered from the wind and generously
endowed with snow. More than 70 lifts provide access to over 140
miles of superbly groomed runs, with a good blend of beginner, intermediate
and advanced terrain as well as over 30 on-mountain restaurants
and bars. It is even possible to ski to Cervinia in Italy!
Non-skiers will enjoy an abundance of possible activities such as
horse-drawn sleigh rides, 18 miles of prepared winter walking paths,
abundant shopping, helicopter sightseeing tours, ice skating, curling,
indoor tennis or just relaxing at one of the many coffee and pastry
shops or restaurants. We will be staying at the Hotel Schweizerhof,
an elegant four-star hotel situated right in the center of town.
This First Class hotel features several restaurants, a bar, indoor
pool, fitness room, sauna and steam bath. All guest rooms have balcony,
TV, safe, radio, telephone, minibar and hair dryer. After Zermatt,
we will return to Geneva for a final day of sightseeing and
reminiscing about our wonderful holiday. Please join us!
