Water World Switzerland
4 days / 3 nights
You don't always have to head to the sea to experience a Mediterranean feeling. Glaciers give the Swiss lakes a natural turquoise-green colour. At the Rhine Falls you can reach the mighty rock in the middle of the waterfall by boat, and Montreux surprises with its mild climate.
Highlights
- Rhine Falls - Europe's largest waterfall
- Interlaken - between the Aare, Lake Brienz and Lake Thun
- Montreux Riviera on Lake Geneva
«Interlaken's unique location "between the lakes" makes it a water sports paradise with panoramic views.»
