Planning your first trip to Switzerland can feel exciting… but also completely overwhelming, particularly if you don’t want to follow a generic Switzerland itinerary. Between choosing destinations, booking hotels, deciding on scenic train rides, and trying to include both the famous highlights and lesser-known gems, it’s easy to spend hours researching and still feel unsure. The solution is to use a specialist Switzerland trip planner. In this episode, I’m joined by Cédric Simon from Watch & Cow, a Switzerland-based travel company that creates tailor-made Swiss itineraries designed around each traveller’s interests and travel style. We chat about how working with a local expert can help first-time visitors experience Switzerland’s hidden gems, while still including those iconic must-see destinations like Lucerne, Zermatt and the Jungfrau Region. If you’d love the freedom of independent travel in Switzerland, but don’t want to spend months researching and organising every detail yourself, this episode is packed with helpful advice and inspiration.
