Switzerland

Travelling on a Cosmos tour in Switzerland is a euphoric journey that will transport you to heady heights -- figuratively and literally. This chocolate box of a country has delights far beyond yodeling clichés. Breathe in Zermatt’s pure air at the foot of the mighty Matterhorn, bike by glistening lakes with snow-capped vistas, feast on fondue in Gruyère and be impressed by Zurich’s urban cool. To soak up the magical natural matrix, take the entire trip by train, guaranteed to run like clockwork.
