Oct 2, 2019Switzerland, In the French Style
When it comes to the mingling of high French and Swiss cultures, dignified Geneva is often what comes to mind for experienced Switzerland travelers, especially as you can see France from the terraces of many of the 5-star properties lining Lake Geneva. Lausanne, on the other hand, makes that delicious blend of French joie de vivre and Switzerland’s progressive. lifestyle-driven mindset accessible for people of all ages. It’s telling, after all, this city of 139,000 is sometimes known as the “San Francisco” of Switzerland. Sister grand hotels Beau Rivage and The Lausanne Palace epitomize this reputation in their own special ways.

Sep 25, 2019Grand Resort Bad Ragaz and Tamina Therme: Just Add Kids
Some family groups head to Switzerland for skiing and outdoor adventure, while others come for the history, culture, food and scenery.

Zermatt’s colorful ski boutique-lined Bahnhofstrasse, stylish apartment-style lodgings of every description and views of the Matterhorn from every angle make up one of Europe’s most family-friendly destinations — and it certainly does not hurt that it is proclaimed the “world’s best ski resort” by organizations like SnowOnline.com year after year. During the warmer months, meanwhile, you will see many family groups with kids strolling the shopping streets (sometimes alongside a herd of about 50 free-range Valais Blackneck goats around 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.), enjoying fondue and pizza at nearby cafés, and taking advantage of the many hiking and bike trails.
