9 Days of Mountains, Chocolate, Cheese & Unforgettable Adventures
Switzerland, here we come!
We are so excited for our Switzerland Babes ladies’ trip! This adventure is going to be filled with everything we love about traveling together—beautiful places, incredible experiences, delicious food, lots of laughter, and plenty of moments we’ll be talking about long after we come home.
We’ll wander through charming Swiss towns, cruise across sparkling lakes, ride scenic trains into the Alps, soar up mountains in gondolas, make fondue and cheese, explore by e-bike, indulge in Swiss chocolate, see plenty of cows, and experience some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
Get ready—this is going to be AMAZING!
DAY 1
WELCOME TO SWITZERLAND — ZURICH & LUCERNE
Our Switzerland adventure officially begins!
We’ll meet at Zurich Airport in the morning and head out together to explore Zurich’s beautiful Old Town.
We’ll have some free time to walk, browse the shops, explore the charming streets, and find a cute spot for lunch on our own. It’s a great way to kick-off our Switzerland trip.
Later, our private coach will take us to beautiful Lucerne, where we’ll check into our hotel and get settled.
That evening, we’ll gather for our first dinner together—a delicious three-course meal and the perfect beginning to our Switzerland adventure.
Dinner is included.
DAY 2
LUCERNE, LAKE LUCERNE & MT. RIGI
After breakfast, we’ll begin our day with a private guided walking tour of Lucerne.
Lucerne looks like it belongs on a postcard, with its beautiful lake, historic buildings, mountain backdrop, and charming Old Town. We’ll explore with our guide and learn more about this gorgeous Swiss city.
After our tour, we’ll have time for lunch on our own before heading out onto Lake Lucerne for a scenic boat ride.
And then we’re going up into the mountains!
We’ll experience the famous Mt. Rigi cogwheel train and take in the spectacular lake and mountain views along the way. Once we’re up in the mountains, we’ll enjoy an easy scenic walk and a Swiss cheese tasting.
Then comes one of those experiences you don’t have every day.
We’ll enjoy a three-course dinner while riding in an actual gondola!
Dinner in a gondola surrounded by the Swiss Alps? Yes, please!
DAY 3
LUCERNE, SCENIC TRAIN TO INTERLAKEN & GRINDELWALD
We’ll enjoy breakfast at our hotel followed by a leisurely morning in Lucerne.
You’ll have free time to explore, shop, take photos, wander through the Old Town, or find a lovely café for lunch and simply enjoy being in Switzerland.
We’ll board a scenic train toward Interlaken, and this is one transfer where the journey is every bit as exciting as the destination. Think sparkling lakes, green hillsides, picturesque villages, and those magnificent mountains getting closer and closer.
From Interlaken, we’ll continue to Grindelwald, a beautiful alpine village surrounded by some of Switzerland’s most dramatic mountain scenery.
We’ll finish the day with a fun and delicious Swiss experience—a hands-on fondue-making class, and then enjoy our delicious creation for dinner!
DAY 4
GRINDELWALD FIRST, SCHILTHORN & MÜRREN
Today is a BIG Swiss Alps day!
We’ll start at Grindelwald First, traveling high into the mountains by gondola. At the top, we’ll experience the First Cliff Walk, an easy and secure walkway built along the mountainside with incredible views of the Swiss Alps. No hiking skills are needed!
We’ll also have some fun riding mountain carts. Think of them as oversized, low-to-the-ground Big Wheels with three wheels and hand brakes. We’ll ride downhill along a paved mountain path at our own pace, making this a fun and unique way to experience the beautiful alpine scenery.
Next, we’ll journey even higher into the Swiss Alps to experience the incredible Schilthorn.
Rising 2,970 meters above sea level, the Schilthorn offers extraordinary panoramic views across the Swiss Alps, including the famous Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks. On a clear day, the panorama stretches across more than 200 mountain peaks.
The journey to the summit is an experience in itself as we travel higher and higher above the valleys and villages below.
At the top is Piz Gloria, the revolving mountaintop restaurant made famous as a filming location for the James Bond movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. We’ll have time to enjoy the incredible views, and you can stop at the restaurant for a snack or treat on your own.
After our mountaintop adventure, we’ll visit Mürren, a darling car-free alpine village perched high above the Lauterbrunnen Valley.
Traditional Swiss chalets, flower-filled balconies, quiet village lanes, and enormous mountains in every direction—Mürren is everything you hope a little Swiss mountain village will be.
We’ll have some free time to wander, shop and enjoy this beautiful village before dinner on our own.
DAY 5
SWISS CHEESE-MAKING & AN ALPINE E-BIKE ADVENTURE
We’ll head out for a special alpine village cheese-making experience. We’ll travel by private coach as far as possible before entering the car-free alpine area, then enjoy an easy 15-minute walk to a charming mountain hut at the cheese farm. Surrounded by beautiful Swiss scenery, we’ll get hands-on and make cheese while learning about traditional Swiss cheese-making. It’s sure to be a fun and memorable taste of life in the Alps!
And naturally, there will be plenty of tasting involved!
We’ll enjoy brunch as part of our cheese-making experience.
Then we’re trading cheese for e-bikes!
We’ll explore the Lauterbrunnen and Gimmelwald area by e-bike, riding through one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Switzerland.
Imagine green meadows, waterfalls, traditional Swiss chalets, mountain villages, and snowcapped peaks towering above us.
This is exactly the kind of experience we love—getting out into the countryside and actually experiencing the destination rather than simply seeing it through a window.
Picnic lunch is included during our e-bike adventure.
Cheese, bikes, waterfalls, mountains, and girlfriends. Sounds like a pretty great day to us!
DAY 6
SCENIC SWITZERLAND & BERN
After breakfast, we’ll say goodbye to Grindelwald and make our way toward Bern.
Our private coach journey will include scenic lake and mountain stops along the way, giving us time to enjoy even more of Switzerland’s incredible countryside. We’ll also have time to stroll through beautiful gardens, browse charming shops, and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings.
DAY 7
BEAUTIFUL BERN & A SPA AFTERNOON
After breakfast, we’ll spend the morning discovering Bern on a private guided walking tour.
Bern has such a wonderful Old World feel, with cobblestone streets, historic architecture, fountains, charming shops, and gorgeous views.
We’ll explore the city with our guide and learn more about Switzerland’s beautiful capital.
After several adventure-filled days exploring Switzerland, we’ll slow things down with a relaxing spa afternoon!
Spa entrance is included, giving us time to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the spa facilities together. Those who would like a little extra pampering can book a massage, facial, or other personal spa treatment at their own expense.
DAY 8
ZURICH, SWISS CHOCOLATE & OUR FAREWELL DINNER
After breakfast, we’ll board our private coach and head back to Zurich for our final full day together.
And we couldn’t possibly have a Switzerland trip without devoting a little time to one of Switzerland’s most famous creations.
CHOCOLATE!
We’ll enjoy a private chocolate truffle-making class where we’ll learn more about Swiss chocolate and create our own delicious truffles.
This might be one of those classes where we’re very dedicated students!
Afterward, we’ll check into our Zurich hotel and have some time to settle in before gathering for our farewell dinner.
Our final dinner together is always special.
We’ll celebrate the places we’ve seen, the experiences we’ve shared, the mountains we’ve climbed—or at least ridden gondolas up!—and all the new friendships and memories we’ve made along the way.
Farewell dinner is included.
DAY 9
GOODBYE, SWITZERLAND!
One group transfer to Zurich Airport will be provided in the morning and will accommodate some flight departure times. Guests with later flights will be responsible for arranging their own transportation to the airport, which is approximately 20–25 minutes from the hotel.
We’ll be leaving Switzerland with the very best souvenirs of all—the friendships, laughter, stories, and unforgettable memories we’ll take home with us.
SWITZERLAND BABES
Nine days.
Beautiful Swiss cities and tiny mountain villages. Scenic trains and lake cruises. Cogwheel railways and gondolas. Mountain adventures and spa time. Fondue, cheese, chocolate, and unforgettable meals.
This is an active ladies’ trip designed for women who want to truly experience Switzerland! There will be plenty of walking, trains, gondolas, mountain excursions, sightseeing, and hands-on experiences. We’ll also enjoy a fun and manageable e-bike adventure on paved paths, with electric bikes providing extra assistance. There are no major hikes planned. Our walks will be easy and enjoyable, with plenty of opportunities to take in Switzerland’s incredible scenery.
And somewhere between all those mountains, chocolate truffles, gondola rides, and Swiss villages, something else happens.
Friendships are made.
