DO AS THE LOCALS DO

Explore Switzerland’s secret spots with the help of local guides

myswitzerland.com/guided-tours Of course, no one knows Switzerland better than its residents – so tap their expertise on an immersive guided tour. Here are some of the numerous itineraries available:

FOR THRILL-SEEKERS

Soar above the Bernese Oberland’s lakes and mountains on a tandem paragliding flight with an experienced pilot. Alternatively, go hiking in the company of a local farmer and his llamas in the lush valley of Safienplatz.

FOR FOODIES

Forage for wild herbs and plants with an expert chef in the Blenio Valley, before learning how to turn them into sumptuous dishes. Or embark on a food tour with a dessert aficionado in Zurich, where you’ll get to sample some of the finest chocolates in the city.

FOR CULTURE VULTURES

Switzerland is famed for its timepieces, so try your hand at watchmaking under the guidance of a master watchmaker in Geneva. Otherwise, practise the art of yodelling with a music teacher’s help at the foot of the Aletsch Glacier.
