Switzerland Tourism

Switzerland’s appeal as a holiday destination is largely due to the fact that it makes more holiday dreams come true in a small area than many larger countries you could mention! Thanks to its scenic and climatic diversity, you’ll find glaciers and palm trees and snow and lakes very close together. Our train system is know worldwide and a ride on board of one of our scenic trains such as the Glacier Express or Bernina Express is highly rated among travellers. Switzerland brings it all to be one of the world’s leading tourism destinations.

Traditionally, Canadians have always enjoyed very much to travelling to and in Switzerland and appreciated the direct flight connections to Zürich and Geneva . Therefore, Switzerland Tourism has had a presence of over 100 years in North America and almost 40 years in Canada. We are delighted to see more Canadians to visit Switzerland over the past years, appreciating our safe and multifaceted country, authentic cities and breathtaking mountain scenery while indulging in local traditions and gastronomy.

For this event of worldwide importance, which Vancouver hosts in 2010 – the Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games – Switzerland Tourism joins into the coordinated national promotion of Switzerland under the lead of Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, Presence Switzerland. Vancouver 2010 with the Swiss Pavilion offers a fantastic chance to show Switzerland as a unique and extraordinary travel destination with very high esteem among opinion leaders as well as common people from Canada, North America and the whole world.
