Switzerland’s Alpine Heart

Mighty mountains and glaciers, crystal-clear lakes, rushing waterfalls and pristine valleys – the Bernese Oberland is the very epitome of Switzerland. Experience unforgettable excursions to Interlaken, Thun, Grindelwald, Lauterbrunnen, the Aare Gorge or the Jungfraujoch. From the Swiss capital of Bern, follow the River Aare to reach the city of Thun. This beautiful city with its castle is considered the gateway to the Bernese Oberland. Interlaken, situated between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, is another ideal starting point for your outdoor activities. Of course, a trip to the Jungfraujoch or the Schilthorn is a real must. Visit the Eiger village of Grindelwald and the Lauterbrunnen Valley with its waterfalls

Travelling Italy Through Its Wine Regions

Italy, a country synonymous with romance, history, and artistry, is equally famed for its extraordinary winemaking traditions. With over 4,000 years of viticulture, Italy is home to more than 150 officially recognized wine routes, each offering a unique glimpse into the country’s rich heritage and regional diversity. These routes traverse rolling vineyards, picturesque countryside, and charming medieval towns, making them ideal for anyone who wishes to immerse themselves in the essence of Italian culture

Around the World

Alpine Flavors Reimagined

Our menu celebrates local, honest cuisine, returning to the roots of alpine heritage. We work closely with regional producers to reinvent traditional dishes using ingredients like Ribelmais, once considered humble, now making a delicious comeback

Gorges de l’Areuse Hike

The 11+ km hike offers stunning views of waterfalls, gorges, and the fairytale-like Saut de Brot bridge. Following a well-maintained trail, it’s an easy hike suitable for all skill levels, from Noirague to Boudry

The Oldest Library in the World

St. Gall’s Abbey Library is one of the oldest and most beautiful in the world. The origins of the library date back to the 8th century, and many of its 160,000 priceless texts are nearly that old

Schilthorn

Follow in the footsteps of James Bond! The Schilthorn tickets take you to the location of the film “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. Once at the top, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the “Swiss Skyline” with the Eiger

Lavaux Vineyards

The Best South African Safari for First-Timers

Going on a safari in South Africa is one of the most exciting adventures you can have. It gives you the chance to see the famous Big Five – lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo – in their natural home. These animals are not in cages or zoos, but roaming freely in the wild, just as they have for thousands of years. Seeing them up close is a powerful and unforgettable experience. You also get to travel through beautiful landscapes, from open plains and thick bush to rivers and mountains
