Beyond the Brochures: A More Meaningful Way to Travel to Switzerland

In an era where travel is often defined by polished brochures, AI-generated itineraries, or mass-market checklists, we believe the most unforgettable journeys come from something else entirely: authentic human connection.

At Chantal & Max Switzerland Travel Design, we don’t just plan trips. We craft tailor-made Switzerland vacations rooted in genuine local encounters, immersive cultural moments, and private luxury. Designed for discerning travelers who value meaning over momentum.

Why Travel Shouldn’t Feel Scripted

Most visitors to Switzerland tick off the same stops—Lucerne, Zermatt, Geneva—guided by the same advice. But what if you could experience a version of Switzerland that most travelers will never see?

We go beyond the guidebooks and off the beaten path in Switzerland. Over the years, we’ve cultivated deep relationships with local artisans, farmers, winemakers, and alpine hosts to unlock the kinds of moments that make your trip not just memorable, but unforgettable.

Because the real magic of travel lives in the unscripted. Moments like these:

Immersive, Authentic Travel Experiences in Switzerland

Learn Swiss paper-cutting from a grandmother in her chalet—one of the country’s most skilled artists—while the scent of homemade pastries fills the air.

Canoe across a quiet alpine lake to a secluded island where a fire-cooked lunch awaits. Just you, the stillness, and a private chef with a story to tell.

• Visit a hidden gem winemaker who creates unconventional vintages, then enjoy a hand-curated picnic in the vines with panoramic views of Lake Geneva.

• In winter, take a snowmobile to a remote mountain chalet for a private family dinner. That evening, Santa arrives—carrying toys your children hand-picked in a boutique we privately opened just for them.

• Even in Lake Lucerne, one of Switzerland’s most visited regions, we create original moments—like riding a private cable car at dawn to meet a farmer making cheese the old-fashioned way, high above the lake.

• Traveling with children? We create bespoke treasure hunts so your kids can explore joyfully while you enjoy the beauty of the moment.

Craft your own chocolate at a private workshop with an artisan whose creations are found nowhere else—an experience both decadent and personal.

• Ride a vintage military jeep off-road into the untouched Swiss Alps, stopping for lunch in an underground bunker with a view that stuns even the locals.

• Sleep under the stars at one of our private luxury glamping sites—surrounded by animals and alpine silence in some of Switzerland’s most scenic locations.

These aren’t upgrades. These are the foundation of how we design every trip: fully bespoke, profoundly local, and deeply moving.

Tailor-Made Luxury for Discerning Travelers

We don’t rely on generic software or copy-paste travel routes. We design each journey by getting to know you—your dreams, your energy, your travel style.

While AI can give you speed, we give you soul.

Your Time Is Precious. Let’s Make It Matter.

Travel is more than a break. It’s a powerful investment of your leisure time and discretionary income. It deserves to be curated with meaning and care.

We only take on a limited number of guests per year so we can pour our full attention into each itinerary. That’s how we ensure every detail feels effortless for you—and unforgettable for everyone involved.
