This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you for any of the options listed above. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service. Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
We are a pair of experienced hikers in our early 60's. This was our second hiking holiday in Switzerland with Inntravel and another inspiring experience. The scenery was spectacular and varied, ranging from lush, lower valleys and densely planted vineyards to the almost desolate landscapes of the high valleys and mountain passes. The views of the Matterhorn at Zermatt are breathtaking. The Inntravel walking notes are reliable and descriptive, particularly if combined with some homework with the maps provided before setting out. When they describe a section of a route as "challenging", they mean it, so don't make the mistake of assuming the commentary is dumbed down. The hotels are all comfortable and welcoming, with Parkhotel Quellenhoff in Leukerbad and La Ginabelle in Zermatt being the highlights of this trip. The travel logistics, including the transport of bags from hotel to hotel, were flawless. Recommended!
This was an excellent trip, with a wide variety of scenery/walking terrrain, and - as usual - very competently organised by Inntravel. We'd recommend booking 2 or 3 extra days in Zermatt as the high-level walking around the town is outstanding.
We had an exceptional holiday. The area was stunning, all the travel and hotel arrangements were excellent. The grading of the walks felt just right. We would reccomend this holiday to anyone who loves walking, good food and beautiful scenery.

Astounding views - the best of the Alps! Quality accommodation. Challenging, but do-able routes. Charming villages. In walks that include lakes (Leisee,Schwarzsee) bring your suits for amazing alpine swimming. Swiss wines are lovely-- try to go to tastings in Salgesch (but the wineries close at 3pm on Saturday, except for one that closes at 4pm).
