Is this for you?
Switzerland is small on a map. In practice, it’s one of the most delightfully complex countries to travel well — seasonality, regional character, and pacing decisions separate a trip that flows from one that quietly disappoints.
We created these consultations for travellers who prefer to plan independently but want an honest, expert eye on what they’ve put together. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place:
- You’ve researched the routes, bookmarked the hotels, mapped out the itinerary, but something still feels uncertain.
- You know which destinations you want, but not when to go, how long to stay, or whether the ones on your list are right for how you actually travel.
- You’re drowning in options and want someone to tell you clearly what’s worth it and what isn’t.
- You’d rather get it right before you leave than realise the mistakes once you’re there.
Some of the topics we can explore in your consultation
Pacing, flow, and use of time
Which areas suit your interests & travel style
When to go, what to avoid, and what changes
Advice on trains, transfers & self-drive

Good to Know
Please submit the pre-call survey with as much detail as possible. We review everything prior to your call to ensure our time together is focused and productive.
These sessions are strategic consultations. We provide insight, refinement, and recommendations — not bookings or logistical management.
We will send out 2 official reminders before your session, but please be advised that no-shows will not receive a refund.
Expert guidance at just the right moment
Our consultation calls offer direct access to lived local expertise, allowing you to refine your itinerary, validate your decisions, and approach your travels with quiet certainty. No templates. No generic advice. Just considered insight, tailored to you.
Not every question needs an hour. If you're at an early stage, still deciding when to go, how to get around, which regions make sense for the way you travel; this is a focused, no-fluff conversation designed to give you a clear direction.
We’ll reach out to confirm your session & share a payment link directly - filling out the form does not guarantee a consultation.
You’ve put real thought into this trip. Maybe you have a working itinerary and want someone to tell you honestly whether it’s as good as it could be. Maybe you have a strong sense of what you want but haven’t yet shaped it into a plan. Either way, this is the conversation that moves things forward.

How it works
Select your preferred option and then fill in the enquiry form with as much detail as you can; This is how we make sure the session is genuinely useful before we confirm it.
We’ll review your submission and if we feel we’re the right fit, we’ll send you a booking and payment link directly to confirm your session and choose a time that works for your timezone.
Before the call, we revisit everything you’ve submitted. You won’t have to brief us — we arrive ready to give you a considered, specific response to what you’ve actually planned.
A private video call with us. Focused, honest, and tailored to you. Strategy Session clients receive their personalised follow-up PDF within 5 working days after the call.
Meet Chantal & Max, your travel consultants
We don’t believe that the real Switzerland can be seen from the back of a tour bus, and that's why we started Chantal & Max Switzerland Travel Design. We have a deep love for sharing our Switzerland – the real people, the hidden places, and the local experiences with which we grew up. We're not here just to give you a tour. We're here to craft a genuine, personal Swiss adventure – just for you. Are you ready?
