Lausanne

Lausanne has been home to the International Olympic Committee for over 100 years. While the Olympic Museum is worth a visit, there is more to this city than sports. Make your way up the 300-plus steps of the wooden Sauvabelin Tower for photo ops like no other. After touring the Lausanne Cathedral, make sure to explore the La Cité neighborhood for its boutiques and cafés. If you’re out late enough, you might hear the night watchman carrying out a 600-year-old tradition.

Insider Tip

For the very best views in Lausanne, start at the 13th-century Gothic cathedral. Don’t shy away from the 153-step climb to the bell tower. The terrace here has the most impressive views over historic Cité and Lake Geneva.

Gruyères

While you may not want to eat them both at the same time (or maybe you do), Gruyères is world-famous for its cheeses and chocolates. La Maison du Gruyere reveals how to make their savory cheese, along with samples to tempt your taste buds for more. Got more of a sweet tooth? Head over to La Maison Cailler. Here, Switzerland’s oldest chocolate factory shows that practice makes perfect after almost 200 years.

Insider Tip

Visit the medieval walls at the town’s main entrance. The small section of the wall is one of the city’s most historic sites and is free to visit and explore.

Interlaken

Visitors often use the Interlaken as a jumping-off point for nature and adventure in Switzerland. You don’t have to travel far to find breathtaking experiences between the two lakes of this region. Test how far your eyes can see from the observation deck at Harder Kulm. Explore the otherworldly ruins of Weissenau Castle along Lake Thun. Find unexpected delights shopping along Hoheweg Street as you make your way to Höhematte Park.

Insider Tip

Interlaken is one of the main adventure capitals of Switzerland. If the whole family is about chasing adventure, visit Seilpark Interlaken, a forest-based adventure park complete with wooden bridges, Tarzan swings, zip lines, and more than 90 different obstacle courses.
