Switzerland Tour Packages from UAE

The mountain trips are where the budget moves most. We quote each one separately, so you can choose one big excursion or several:

Prices rise in the UAE summer holidays and at Eid, when Gulf families fill Lucerne and Interlaken, and again over Christmas and New Year. May, June and September usually give the same scenery for less. If your dates are flexible, compare our cheapest tour packages this month before you decide.

1. 01

   Day 1: Arrive in Zurich

   The train from Zurich Airport reaches the main station in about 15 minutes. Check in, then walk Bahnhofstrasse to the lake and the old town lanes of the Niederdorf. A Lake Zurich boat trip is included on the Swiss Travel Pass.

2. 02

   Day 2: Rhine Falls, then train to Lucerne

   A morning trip north to the Rhine Falls at Schaffhausen, with a boat to the rock in the middle of the falls. In the afternoon, the train to Lucerne takes under an hour. Evening walk across the Chapel Bridge and along the lake.

3. 03

   Day 3: Mount Titlis

   Train to Engelberg, about 45 minutes, then the cable cars to Titlis: the last stage is the Rotair, which turns as it climbs. Snow all year, the Ice Flyer chairlift, the glacier cave and the Cliff Walk suspension bridge. Back in Lucerne for dinner.

4. 04

   Day 4: Lake Lucerne and the scenic train to Interlaken

   See the Lion Monument and the old town in the morning, or take the boat and cog railway up Pilatus or Rigi.

5. 05

   Day 5: Jungfraujoch

   The full day in the mountains. Trains climb via Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen to Kleine Scheidegg, then through the Eiger to Jungfraujoch at 3,454 m, the highest railway station in Europe. Ice Palace, the Sphinx terrace and the Aletsch Glacier. Start early for clearer weather.

6. 06

   Day 6: Lakes Thun and Brienz

   A slow day on the water. Take the boat from Interlaken across Lake Thun to Spiez and its castle, or across Lake Brienz to the Giessbach Falls. Or go up Harder Kulm by funicular for a view over both lakes at sunset.

7. 07

   Day 7: Fly home

   Allow enough time for check-in and tax refund forms on shopping.

For 5 nights, we drop day 6 and keep two nights in Interlaken. For 8 nights, add two nights in Zermatt for the Matterhorn and the Gornergrat railway, or two nights in Montreux on Lake Geneva via the GoldenPass line. Families with young children often prefer 3 nights in one base and day trips from there, which means fewer hotel moves.

1. 01

   Days 1 to 3: Paris

   City tour, the Eiffel Tower second level and a River Seine cruise, then a day at Disneyland Paris or on your own.

2. 02

   Day 4: Paris to Switzerland

   By coach on guided packages, through the Alsace countryside, or by high-speed train on independent trips. Check in to your hotel in central Switzerland.

3. 03

   Days 5 and 6: Titlis, Lucerne and Interlaken

   Mount Titlis with the Rotair and Ice Flyer, a Lucerne orientation tour, then a day in Interlaken with Jungfraujoch as an option.

4. 04

   Day 7: Black Forest, Rhine Falls and Zurich

   A morning in Germany's Black Forest with a cuckoo clock workshop, the Rhine Falls with a boat ride, and a Zurich city tour. Overnight in Zurich.

5. 05

   Day 8: Lindt and fly home

   The Lindt chocolate visit if your flight time allows, then the airport transfer.

You can run the route the other way, starting in Zurich and flying home from Paris, which suits shoppers who want Paris last. For more combinations, such as Paris, Amsterdam and Switzerland in 8 nights or Paris, Switzerland and Italy in 11, see our Europe tour packages from UAE. If Europe is too far for the time you have, our Turkey tour packages from UAE give you mountains, lakes and a big city on a shorter flight.

Switzerland is in the Schengen area. Most UAE residents need a Schengen visa, applied for through the Swiss visa centre when Switzerland is your main destination, meaning the country where you spend the most nights.

The passport stays with the visa centre while it is processed. In summer, appointments fill weeks ahead, so we book the appointment as soon as you confirm the trip. The full process is on our Schengen visa from Abu Dhabi page, and we arrange travel insurance for your trip that meets the Schengen rules.
