Discover Christmas in a Swiss Spa

Style, elegance and an incredible winter adventure awaits you! Imagine visiting three amazing European countries on a guided tour where you'll be spoilt with a truly authentic Christmas experience.

Kick off your magical adventure in a first class Swiss chalet in a hidden village perched dramatically in the snow-clad Swiss Alps. Spend Christmas as it should be – simply relax, take in the spa pampering treatments or ski on the slopes high above the town where the church bells are ringing amongst the enchanting snow-clad environment.

Head along to several locations in the Austrian Lakes District made famous in the Sound of Music film as well as the famous Silent Night Chapel on the site the Christmas carol was first ever performed.

Be sure to indulge in hot chocolate and biscuits in the courtyard of St Peter's Keller, dating way back to the 1500's!

You'll get to take time out to soak up the atmosphere of the famous Salzburg baroque Christmas Markets where you can shop for unique giftware while indulging in mulled red wine, fresh produce and sweet bakery eats.

Next stop is Germany's southernmost city Appenzell where you can enjoy a delightful horse drawn sleigh ride underneath snow-topped trees and stunning village settings, before you board the famous Glacier Express train through Switzerland's finest mountain scenery. With premium seats in the panoramic carriages you'll be pleased with the absolute luxury and scenic views.

On arrival, you'll board a coach and drive up the ravines and frozen waterfalls to reach your Christmas destination – The Spa Town of Leukerbad. Set in a hidden valley at an altitude of 1,400 metres you'll be surrounded by towering, jagged peaks. Hot, therapeutic natural thermal water spring out from these mountains.

Magical landscapes are awaiting you with snow-capped mountains, chalets and trees in the crisp northern hemisphere winter sun. Cosy fireplaces, Christmas cheer, fairy lights and mulled wine are all part and parcel of this unique European winter delight, all of which are a memorable and indulgent Swiss experience to cherish for years to come.

For those who book their Christmas in a Swiss Spa tour to coincide with the festive season, then why not extend your Christmas holiday to include a New Year's celebration in a real Italian Castle!

Imagine staying in the glorious CastelBrando Castle set in the charming foothills of the Italian Dolomites, there's so much to do and see in this 2,000 year old Roman fortress turned noble's palace alone! This tour will find you being whisked away to romantic Venice, the chic Italian ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo and the stylish city of Milan to shop up a storm. With a New Year's Eve Gala dinner with regional tantalising wines and live musical entertainment for a night to remember, there's no going wrong with this exhilarating tour!
