What people love about France And Switzerland Tours
- Trekking Mont Blanc
Amazing trekking through the alps. It was a challenge so be prepared! Our tour leader Diane was AMAZING. Everything was well organized and ran smoothly. Highly recommend if you like trekking.
The places where more time is required for only very less time and some very unimportant places got plenty of time. This was the feeing for our entire group.example: at Milan( Italy) we got hardly 2 hrs.Before reaching Milan , we were forced to spent 3 hrs at a place in Switzerland which was not at all important and we lost the time we took to reach there. We could have used that time to spent at Milan.Even shopping time at all the location were very very less or can say not provided.Regarding accommodation -rooms at the places where we spent more days were below average with small rooms. And the place were we spent just for a night was better.Even though we requested for adjacent rooms in advance for our family of 4, it was not provided.Final day at Rome , we requested for late check out.But not permitted.

Find a River Cruise that explores France And Switzerland. There are 15 cruises to choose from, that range in length from 4 days up to 26 days. The most popular month for these cruises is June, which has the most tour departures. Considering other destinations? Check out all river cruises.
See all River Cruise toursThe Tour du Mont Blanc ranks as our most popular trek, and it's clear why - you'll cross France, Switzerland and Italy while circling Western Europe's highest mountain. The trail leads up to Lac Blanc at 2,352m where the surrounding peaks mirror perfectly in the water, then drops into valleys where you can warm up with local fondue and raclette in cozy mountain huts. If you prefer a proper bed each night, our hotel-based versions work well, while the camping options attract people who love swapping stories around the evening campfire. You should know the trails demand solid fitness - expect about 1,000m climbing each day, so our regular hikers suggest hill training for a few months before you come. Mid-June brings amazing Alpine wildflowers across the meadows, and September offers quieter paths with lovely autumn colors.
See all Hiking & Trekking toursTake in the picturesque landscapes and remarkable sights on a guided Coach / Bus adventure of France And Switzerland. There are 21 vacation packages to choose from, that range in length from 6 days up to 14 days. The most popular month for these tours is May.
See all Coach / Bus toursThe Paris to Rome explorer route packs quite a bit into its 10-day journey, combining rail travel through the Swiss Alps with walking tours that let you really get to know each stop. Our travelers love picking up fresh pastries near Lausanne Cathedral and taking the world's steepest cogwheel train up Mount Pilatus - the views over Lake Geneva are worth every minute. For those wanting more ground to cover, we offer a comprehensive route hitting 27 spots including San Sebastián's La Concha beach, the historic center of Bordeaux (a UNESCO site) and an imaginative art space carved into limestone at Les Baux called Carrières de Lumières. The pace works well for most people, giving you time to properly experience both rural areas and city stops.

15 tours in France and SwitzerlandWant to hike Mont Blanc at your own pace? Our self-guided tours give you freedom while handling all the planning. The full 12-day route includes detailed trail directions, moves your bags between stops and books your stays - from historic hotels to mountain huts. There's also an 8-day version hitting the main spots while still crossing France, Italy and Switzerland. Our independent hikers love setting their own schedule - stopping for photos whenever they want or choosing easier days when needed. Having someone sort out the route planning and bookings lets them focus on the walking. Both options come with round-the-clock support, though you should be comfortable with hiking and following trail markers to get the most from these independent trips.

The Mont Blanc region forms the heart of our week-long France and Switzerland tours, taking you through three countries on foot. You'll walk 15-20km daily with about 800m climbing - enough to earn your dinner but not overwhelming. Starting in Chamonix, the path leads over the Balme pass into Switzerland and finally drops into Italian Courmayeur. Our travelers love how the culture shifts as they cross borders, from the morning coffee style to evening meal times. Whether you pick the north or south circuit, you'll cross the Grand Col Ferret and spend time in Champex, where the lake reflects the mountains like a mirror. Going self-guided means choosing your own stops, accommodation and pace - you might prefer traditional mountain huts or valley hotels. One guest wrote to tell us they actually put on weight despite all the walking, thanks to Swiss raclette, Italian gelato and hearty French mountain cooking.

Our 10-day rail and hiking trips start in Paris before using Switzerland's precise train system to reach the Alps. The mix works really well - you might spend your morning walking through Lausanne's old streets and catch an afternoon panoramic train through mountain passes. Food becomes part of the journey, from cooking with organic farmers near Rome to wine tasting in Burgundy's cellars. We've added interesting cultural stops too, like painting sessions in Arles (in the same light that inspired Van Gogh) and visits to art installations housed in old quarries. The balance feels right - guided experiences mixed with free time to browse Lyon's food markets or take an optional cable car ride in the Alps.

Two weeks gives you time to properly link Europe's capitals with Alpine highlights. The London-Zurich route moves from Big Ben to boat rides on Lake Zurich and exploring Lucerne's medieval bridges. We've arranged special access to places like Saint Gallen's abbey library, where you can see 170,000 historical books, and walks through the dramatic rocky walls of the Aare Gorge. The pace works well with train travel days between full days exploring - you might spend a morning in Montmartre then catch a scenic train to Lake Geneva for an evening boat trip. Our guests particularly like how these longer tours let them experience both city culture and mountain landscapes without feeling rushed.

Best time to visit France and Switzerland
- Spring 2025
April and May transform our French and Swiss rail journeys. The Paris to Rome route gives you melting Alpine snow against white peaks - it's the right time to take that cogwheel train up Mount Pilatus. Our customers love spotting spring wildflowers along lakeside paths in Lucerne and Lausanne. Down in Provence, especially around Arles, you can join painting workshops surrounded by the same blooming landscapes that caught Van Gogh's eye. The medieval village of Riquewihr in Alsace looks particularly nice with spring flowers decorating its old half-timbered houses.

- Summer 2025
From June through September, our Tour du Mont Blanc hiking circuit comes alive. The high trails clear of snow, mountain huts open their doors and long summer days give you plenty of time to take in those massive Alpine views. For a mix of city and countryside, start with a Seine cruise in Paris, then head to Lake Geneva where you can taste wines in the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyards. The Green Panorama route connects Barcelona, Paris and some serious hiking at Glacier 3000, where a suspension bridge lets you walk between mountain peaks.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
September and October bring golden colors to the Black Forest and Alsace sections of our tours. Travelers tell us they love visiting Baden-Baden and Heidelberg this time of year - you get castle tours and forest walks with red and gold leaves all around. The Burgundy wine route becomes something special as vineyards turn russet and harvest activities fill village squares. Swiss rail tours show you snow returning to the highest peaks while lower slopes show autumn colors. Our customers give top marks to the Gotthard Panorama Express in fall, when you see orange larches against snow-dusted mountains.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Our winter river cruises along the Rhine and Rhône operate year-round with climate-controlled comfort - the perfect way to see France and Switzerland when it's cold outside. From your private balcony cabin, you'll watch snow dust the riverside vineyards while staying cozy inside. Jazz-themed cruises really come into their own during winter, combining evening performances with daytime walks through quiet medieval towns. If you prefer trains, our first-class rail connections between Paris, Geneva and Zurich include stays in upscale hotels. Winter's actually ideal for visiting grand palaces like Versailles - fewer tourists mean more time chatting with local guides.
