Off to the Alps – Switzerland

Mountain passes, scenic routes and hidden gems of the Swiss Alps

Stepping inside scenes that look like they’re straight out of a Wes Anderson film, we set off across the Swiss Alps: grand hotels with bellboys in smart jackets, funiculars that rattle like movie props and picture-perfect mountain roads. But this is not tradition for tradition’s sake. Belle Époque salons are opening up to a new crowd, afternoon tea is making a comeback.

In alpine spas and design hotels, where fresh mountain air meets urban spirit, we soak up unforgettable vistas. Between rustic Alpine villages and St. Moritz glitz, we discover the places that are shaping the Swiss Alps today. Looking up, we take a deep breath and unleash our inner Heidi.
