This is an eight-day trip that will send you through mountainside villages, lakefront towns, and picturesque landscapes that inspired many Disney favorites. One of the trip highlights includes an alpine hike near Zermatt. Why? Well, the iconic Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland Resort were inspired by the Matterhorn, which you can see as you hike near Zermatt. Just look at that view!

Can we talk about this CASTLE?! Part of the trip includes a tour of a lakeside medieval castle, Château de Chillon. This historic monument is nestled on the shores of Lac Léman, and yes, it looks like it came straight out of a fairytale. Other notable excursions include the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, home of the largest archive of Olympic Games memorabilia in the world. And, of course, there will be plenty of FOOD to enjoy, with a focus on Swiss delicacies. We’re talking cheese, chocolate, and wine. SOLD!
