You want to go on a honeymoon in Switzerland? If so, you're in the right place. The snow-covered mountains, incredible lakes, cozy villages, and charming cities make Switzerland an image-perfect honeymoon destination for couples all over the world. It is a place that offers both adventure and slow evenings.
Here are five experiences that you'll want to include in your itinerary that'll turn your romantic Switzerland vacation into everything you've dreamt of:
If there's one experience you shouldn't miss out on whilst on a honeymoon in Switzerland, then it is taking a ride at the top of the world in the country's epic scenery trains. The journey and the view are nothing but straight out of a fairytale! Just imagine the two of you sitting beside each other, glancing at the alpine meadows and waterfalls as you go by. Romantic, isn't it?
The Glacier Express is regarded as "the slowest express train in the world." It is ideal for those couples who would like to enjoy the Swiss beauty without rushing.
While on it, you're going to pass through dramatic, soaring bridges and picturesque villages.
Another loved one is the Bernina Express. It links Switzerland and northern Italy, and is the source of incredible mountain and lake views en route. This experience allows you both time to talk, laugh, and spend quality time together. Nature itself takes charge of your romance here.
Who doesn't want to wake up to a lakeview? Honestly, waking up to a lake view is one of the most beautiful parts of a honeymoon in Switzerland. In 2024, hotels across the country welcomed 42.8 million overnight stays, with over half coming from international travelers. It's a testament to just how magical these peaceful lake retreats really are. Chatel Claire offers the prettiest lakeview chalets, bringing calm and beauty to your stay.
The chalet living experience is beyond amazing. You get to sip your morning coffee whilst listening to the gentle lapping of water. Also, just picture yourself walking on the terrace at dawn, and all you have to do is soak in the view.
You can spend your afternoons paddleboarding, rowing, or simply going for a nice, long walk along the shore of Lake. As the sun sets, you get to have dinner by the moonlit water and a starry sky. Magical, right?
When you stay at a luxury alpine retreat, you get luxury surrounded by breathtaking mountain views and peaceful comfort, and a honeymoon should be just that.
Imagine waking up in a chalet-style suite with panoramic windows, and you head towards your private balcony as you sip on your champagne. Then, you head to a spa with thermal pools and saunas. Many alpine resorts, such as those in Gunten, St. Stephan, Grindelwald, or Bern, specialise in creating a romantic atmosphere that makes every moment feel special.
The evenings? Just delightful. You can enjoy a candlelight dinner with your spouse as you indulge yourself in flavourful Swiss delicacies. These small moments add up to give you your dream honeymoon.
Switzerland isn't entirely about mountains, lakes, and scenic views. It has got more to it. It has cities that offer a glimpse into their charm and culture. On your romantic Switzerland vacation, do not miss the opportunity to roam the streets of the old town of Bern.
Bern is the capital of Switzerland and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. It has medieval period arcades, fountains, and magnificent views of the river Aare.
You can simply get lost in these streets, away from the bustle of the busy streets, back at your homes in cities. Also, it's wonderful to get a glimpse of the town's history as you stroll by.
No honeymoon in Switzerland would be complete without some adventure in the impressive Alps. Whether you are a curious hiker or a reluctant outdoor enthusiast, there's an incredible experience waiting for you.
During summertime, the sun plays on the lakes, and the glimmer on the water is such a spectacle to see. The wildflower meadows add to the overall charm of the view. You can take a gondola to Grindelwald, where you can organise adventure activities like tandem paragliding.
Switzerland turns into heaven during winter. Switzerland turns into heaven during winter. This is the perfect time to visit for couples who want to treat themselves to adventures like skiing and snowboarding. Other than that, cosy evenings in the blanket with a swirl of hot mulled wine just add up to the whole experience.
When planning your romantic Switzerland vacation, consider what truly binds you as a couple. Are you seeking adventure and/or peace? In Switzerland, you can have it all. It's a great start to your wedding life.
