Day 2 - Lausanne & Wine Tasting
We take a morning tour of Lausanne, which lies in the middle of one of Switzerland’s most popular wine growing regions, with Lake Geneva at its feet.

The upper town features small alleyways with cafes and boutiques, which shape the streetscape in the medieval town centre.

The lower town’s scenic setting alongside Lake Geneva, known as Ouchy, is a great place to stroll along the waterfront promenade, enjoy its outdoor cafes and parks or just relax and watch the world go by.

Some more fun is planned as we enjoy a wine-tasting of the region’s finest wines. This is followed by a 45 minute hike up to another vintner’s wine cellar for a tasting of some additional wines (those not wishing to hike will take a mini-tour of the lakeside town of Vevey and then be driven to the wine cellar to join the group for the 2nd tasting).

We're treated to a traditional Swiss dinner tonight. After dinner there will be plenty of time to enjoy the many clubs, lounges and bars in the famous Flon District of Lausanne.

Day 3 - Chocolate Train
Fairytale-like scenery abounds as we take a ride on the famous “Chocolate Train.” We'll pass through a region of meadows, brilliant mountain peaks and countryside dotted with quaint farmhouses replete with grazing sheep and cows.

We visit the charming town of Gruyeres to learn how its famous cheese is made.

Lunch on your own in one of Gruyeres’ great restaurants – fondue anyone?

We then continue on to the Cailler-Nestle factory, pioneers of Milk Chocolate, where we see how their delicious chocolates are created and get to taste some of the freshly made goodies.

Free time in Montreux, a piece of paradise that has attracted artists and writers in search of beauty, tranquility and inspiration. Enjoy the promenade alongside Lake Geneva (immortalized by Freddie Mercury with the peaks of Le Grammont on the cover of the album “Made in Heaven”).

Day 7 - Lucerne / Zurich
A memorable day begins with a drive to Lucerne where we board our boat for a relaxing cruise on Lake Lucerne.

Disembarking in Alpnachstad, we take the world’s steepest cog railway for a ride to the top of Mt. Pilatus, from where you’ll feel as if you can see all of Switzerland.

Following our visit, we descend on the other side of the mountain in a cable car.

At the midway point down we get off at Fräkmuntegg, where we have time to enjoy a toboggan run, rope park or just gaze at the magnificent panoramic views afforded us.

We then board a gondola for the rest of the trip down.

A visit to Lucerne follows so that we can see the famous wooden Chapel Bridge and the weeping Lion Rock Monument.

We take a tour of Zurich, the cosmopolitan city by the water that combines creative urban life with nature in all its glory.

A tour of Old Town lets visitors experience Zurich’s multi-faceted past; its medieval houses, narrow lanes, Europe’s largest clockface and its guild and town halls from the Renaissance period.

We’ll stroll along Bahnhofstrasse, Zurich’s “shopping mile,” which is regarded as Switzerland’s Champs Élysées. It features a multitude of exclusive fashion boutiques, stores, banks, restaurants and street cafes that invite passersby to linger.

A walk farther down the street brings us to lovely Lake Zurich, a gathering place for people, ferries and boats.

Gay Switzerland Travel

Switzerland has recognized registered gay partnerships since 2007, and traditionally rights of individuals have been high on the agenda, however the country regards privacy highly and expects citizens and visitors to respect this. The Swiss tourist board fully embraces the gay and lesbian traveller and has many promotional campaigns for the LGBT visitor.

Both Zurich and Geneva have a thriving gay scene and Lausanne’s large student population makes Switzerland a very welcoming and comfortable country for gay visitors.

Gay Switzerland summer

Zurich has a varied gay nightlife with its vibrant and varied gay district along the streets of Niederdorf. In June the city hosts Zurich Gay Pride (formerly known as Christopher Street Day), which is a popular event.

Geneva held its pride event in 2011 after a 7-year absence, yet its gay scene is busy, Le Tube is the oldest gay bar in Geneva with much of the scene in the old streets of the city.

The summer can be warm and mild yet the winter brings bitter cold with the snow cementing the glory of alpine skiing. The best time to visit for good snow conditions is January – March, especially for SWING – the Swiss Gay Skiing and Snowboarding Week in March.

There’s plenty to see in Switzerland including The Chillon Castle on the edge of Lake Geneva, Geneva Jet D’eau one of the tallest fountains in the world standing at 140 meters and of course the National Park with impressive lakes flanked by stunning mountains.
