Overnight Stays
Peace, tranquillity, time to recharge. Every trip is only enjoyable if you feel comfortable. A hotel is a place of retreat and should ensure that you can start each new day rested and full of energy and joy. A good hotel is characterised by a high level of attention to detail, whether in terms of guest service, gastronomy, ambience or design. We carefully select hotels for our guests based on their preferences.
We often know the hotels well from long-standing partnerships and can thus ensure that our guests' needs and wishes are passed on to the right people.
Service & Transfer
Our offer is not a standard program. We organize all kinds of services and try to take every wish into account, be it in the planning, arrival or en route.
Our guests usually travel from place to place by train. The Swiss railway guarantees a very comfortable, relaxed and scenic travel experience that is also highly sustainable. Of course, there is also the option of booking private transfers.
We offer a luggage delivery service from hotel to hotel.
