An Amazing Winter Vacation in Switzerland and Finland with Your Family 

Day One: Geneva 

Upon landing at the airport in Geneva, you will be whisked away to your hotel by a private driver. After getting settled in your hotel room, you will meet your guide for a walking tour. This entire tour is inspired by cheese and chocolate. So, be prepared to eat samples everywhere you stop along the way.  

During this tour, you will see sights that include Old Town, Rhone River, St. Peter’s Cathedral, and Halle de Rive.  

Day Two: Lausanne and Zermatt 

Your second day in Switzerland will begin with your family being driven to the vineyards of Lavaux. This is the most famous wine growing region in western Switzerland. Walk along the vineyards before learning about wine production and indulging in a wine tasting.  

After your wine tasting, you will be taken to the Lausanne train station to begin your journey to Zermatt. When you arrive in Zermatt, a driver will be waiting to transport you to your hotel for the evening.  

Day Three: Zermatt 

A day in the mountains is exactly what your family will need during your vacation in Switzerland. The cogwheel train will take you to four different stops until you reach the station at the Gornergrat summit. From the summit, you will have stunning views of Matterhorn, Monte Rosa Massif, and Dufourspitze.  

You can plan this day any way you wish. However, I do recommend arranging to pick up snowboard rentals, so you can do a little snowboarding on these mountains.  

Day Four: Zermatt to St. Moritz 

This is the day you will see most of the Swiss Alps, as you ride on the Glacier Express Train. This train travels over two hundred ninety-one bridges. It also passes through ninety-one tunnels. And takes you over the Oberalp Pass at more than six thousand feet in the air.  

You will experience all that during your eight-hour journey from Zermatt to St. Moritz. Use this time on the train to talk amongst yourselves and begin to relive some of the memories you have already made on this amazing vacation in Switzerland.  

Day Five: St. Moritz to Zurich 

You don’t have much time to spend in St. Moritz. So, you may want to get up early to see a few of the sights before boarding the train to Zurich.  

Once you arrive in Zurich, you will have the evening to yourself to explore, as you stretch your legs.  

Day Six: Zurich to Rovaniemi 

A little more travel is necessary today. In order to switch from your vacation in Switzerland to your vacation in Finland, you must take a quick flight. Don’t worry, the flight will be totally worth it for this evening’s adventure.  

After all, your family won’t mind heading out on snowmobiles in Finland to see the Northern Lights. At one point, you will stop by a bonfire to warm up with a hot drink.  

Day Seven: Rovaniemi 

It is nearing the end of your family vacation in Finland. Today’s family adventure will take you to a remote reindeer farm. You will see Lapland reindeer up close. You may also have the opportunity to learn how to handle a reindeer sleigh.  

If you don’t want to do that, it’s okay. Just make sure you do sit in the sleigh to go on a ride through the forest, as the reindeer are leading the way.  

This evening will then be spent heading out to check out the Northern Lights once again. Your family will never get bored when seeing these dancing lights in the sky. 

Day Eight: Rovaniemi 

It is the last day of your vacation in Finland. Hopefully you have a slightly later flight, so you can pick up a few last-minute souvenirs and say goodbye. Then it will be time to board the plane to go back home until it is time for your next family vacation.  

This eight-day itinerary for an amazing vacation in Switzerland and Finland shows you what is possible for your next family vacation. I can personalize your family’s itinerary, so it includes everything you all want to do while you are traveling the world. Therefore, don’t think you are stuck doing everything that is on this itinerary. I can offer many other options, when we begin to discuss your next family trip.

Epic Vacation in Switzerland with Your Family in 8 Days

Day One: Zurich to Lucerne 

Your vacation in Switzerland will begin as soon as you land at the airport in Zurich. Your private driver will meet you at the airport. They will transport you to your hotel in Lucerne. The trip to the hotel should take less than an hour.  

At your hotel, you can check in and then wander around to see what amenities are available to you. You may even want to venture out and start seeing the sights in this gorgeous city.  

Day Two: Lucerne 

Hopefully your family managed to get a good night’s sleep after a long day of travel. You will need the rest, as you are out exploring Lucerne on day two of your vacation in Switzerland.  

Your day will begin with a walk across Chapel Bridge. This bridge was constructed back in the 14th century. You will then cross the Mill Bridge to see the Dance of Death paintings.  

Other sights you will see on this day include the Musegg Wall, Town Hall, and the Lion Monument. If your family is interested, a visit to the Swiss Transport Museum can be arranged as well.  

The one stop you won’t want to miss on this incredible day is the Max Chocolatier facilities. You can tour the facilities where they make the chocolate. And then taste as much of it as you want at the end. If your family has a sweet tooth, you may want to plan to spend more time at Max Chocolatier than anywhere else in this city!  

Day Three: Lucerne to St. Moritz 

Day three of your Switzerland family vacation will be a travel day. You will board a train to travel from Lucerne to St. Moritz. It will take approximately four hours for this journey.  

You will have the entire afternoon to explore St. Moritz on your own.  

Day Four: St. Moritz to Zermatt 

Unfortunately, some of the best cities in Switzerland are quite far from each other. Therefore, today will also be spent on a train, as you travel from St. Moritz to Zermatt.  

This eight-hour journey will take you through the breathtaking Swiss countryside. The train will pass over more than two hundred bridges. It will also go through ninety-one tunnels. The highlight will be when you are going over the Oberalp Pass. This is an excellent way to see the Swiss Alps during your family vacation.  

Not sure if Switzerland is the best vacation option for your family? Maybe you would all love to visit some of the best fairy tale castles in the world instead! 

Day Five: Zermatt 

The activities you do in Zermatt will depend on the time of the year you vacation in Switzerland. During the winter months, your family can ski or snowboard up in the mountains. If you happen to arrive when there is no snow, you can easily hike one of the trails.  

Day Six: Zermatt to Geneva  

After a fun day in the mountains, you will be more than ready to head to Geneva. After your train ride, your family will want to stretch their legs a bit. You can wander around the Patek Philippe Museum. Or you can simply walk along the streets, while doing a little souvenir shopping.  

Day Seven: Geneva  

It is getting close to the end of your family vacation in Switzerland. This is the day to make some of those final memories together. You know, the memories you will talk about during the next holiday and all future holidays.  

Today will be spent near the shores of Lake Leman. You will see the world’s tallest fountain, Jet d’Eau.  

Over in Old Town, you will see St. Peter’s Cathedral, Halle de Rive, and Place Neuve. If you didn’t do enough shopping the day before, you can head to the shopping district in Geneva.  

You will find plenty of gifts to take back home. I highly recommend stocking up on chocolate. Especially the Pavés de Genève. These are yummy and you will definitely need more than you think. If you don’t purchase enough, I guarantee they will be gone before your plane even touches the ground back home.  

Day Eight: Geneva 

Your family vacation in Switzerland is over and it will be time to head to the airport. You may have time to go on one last walk through the streets of Geneva before you go. Use the time to take family pictures, grab a little extra chocolate, and embrace the memories you have all made together.  

Eight days in Switzerland can be magical for families like yours. Your time in this spectacular country can be completely different than what I have described here. I can easily personalize your itinerary, so it includes all the activities and attractions your family wants to do and see. We can discuss the possibilities when we chat.
