7 reasons why you need a road trip
Intro
Last year the only travel any of us experienced was the trip from the bedroom to the living room, punctuated by a little excursion to the fridge once in a while. That’s why it is finally time to get out and discover this country. If that’s not enough to motivate you, then we can list 7 reasons why you should take a road trip around Switzerland.
Ticked off the bucket list
Many of us travel all over the world, but often we know very little about the country where we live. It’s high time you learned about Switzerland and all its wonders. From the Aletsch Glacier to Zernez, there are places that are not to be missed. And for those of you who are Swiss experts, we have some lovely secret tips.
Live the dream of freedom
Finally you can leave your four walls, get in your car and hit the road. There’s not a lot of complicated planning involved with the Grand Tour of Switzerland: use our GPS or the official signposts and just enjoy where the trip takes you. Thanks to an abundance of overnight options you’re certain to find a free bed – and if you want to be extra sure, just book one of ourpackages.
A different way to discover Switzerland
Enjoy discovering Switzerland from the comfort of your own car or motorcycle. The route around Switzerland takes you over five passes and along the prettiest lakes – and you can enjoy your trip without having to worry about timetables and schedules. Driving lets you be in charge of your individual trip – in even the most remote sections of Switzerland.
Go easy on your wallet
All you need is a car and a few essentials. Forget about train tickets, seat reservations and exorbitant fees for your overweight bags. Along the Grand Tour you’ll find the right accommodation for every budget.
Try something new
Never been on a road trip before? Then it’s high time you go! By campervan, car or motorcycle, at acampsite, youth hostel or wellness hotel – cruising around Switzerland at your own speed is guaranteed to be a memorable holiday. Our tips ensure you are best prepared for your adventure.
