Dear Traveller

Transcend boundaries through Switzerland’s most authentic and breathtaking destinations to escape the ordinary.

Because time is luxury, we will craft your perfect holiday packed with personality with our trusted insider knowledge, immersive experiences, hand-picked accommodation, and hidden gems. We’re not looking to be the biggest, but the best at what we do. We know our own country intimately, and work with the best network of hand-picked providers and hotels to guarantee a seamless and inspiring holiday that is as unique as you.

A bientôt, Chantal & Max.

What We Do

Genuine, Remarkable Accommodation
Our choice of accommodation varies from the most typical of chalets to hidden gems you won’t find on google, without overlooking the truly unique boutique hotels that are a destination of their own.
We only work with places that we’ve personally seen and experienced ourselves, and that inspire a “Je ne sais quoi” of Switzerland, breaking away from the cookie cutter hotel room and international chains you can find anywhere in the world.
Your Choice of Private Transportation
We can tailor your itinerary to be self-driven, chauffeur guided or experienced by train, depending on what you feel most comfortable with. Our on-site partners, chosen for their quality and service, will guarantee to make this a relaxed and luxurious journey whichever option you choose.
Authentic Travel Experiences
Local expertise is our craft. We take you behind closed doors to connect you with some of the country’s most passionate and fascinating guides. Experience unique, private tours with authentic local flavour. From getting a inside glimpse into the making of the alphorn to an exclusive backstage pass to see the traditional Swiss art of “scherrenschnitte”, from day tours through the backroads to dog-sledding in a magical winter wonderland, and even making your own Swiss cheese to take home… we will make your travel adventure, authentic and immersive.
A Destination For Every Occasion
Fabulous ski holidays
An unforgettable honeymoon
Fun for the whole family
Chauffeur-guided
Self-drive road trip
City-hopping
Wellness & spa
Active & adventure
Small group get-together

What our Travellers Say
This is the best agency I have ever used for planning travel experiences and adventures. Chantal was kind, organized and responsive when planning our trip in Switzerland. Max was our host and guide and he gave us an unforgettable tour. It’s probably not an exaggeration to say that it was the most fun we’ve had on any European vacation in over a decade… An exceptional experience! We will definitely be planning our next trips with Chantal & Max.

What our Travellers Say
When you visit a country where you know someone, you see that country like no tourist would ever see it. You see places and things perhaps known only to local residents and you hear the stories of what they know about their homeland and growing up there. Because of Chantal & Max, this is the kind of experience we had on our Swiss journey. A most memorable, unmatched time!

What our Travellers Say
Chantal & Max have been great to work with. Executing the travel itinerary by listening to our request and bring it to fruition. We were very grateful for their attention to detail, making the necessary modifications once our plans unexpectedly changed was priceless!! Thanks, for continuing to exceed our expectations and creating a memorable experience.

What our Travellers Say
We felt cared for throughout our planning and holiday. The hotels and activities were wonderful and felt exclusive. We very rarely had to deal with busloads of tourists and enjoyed interacting more with the locals to get a better idea of life in Switzerland rather than just checking things-to-see of a list. I wish we could find a team like yourselves for every one of our holidays!

Meet the Team

CHANTAL

MAX

CHANTAL

Hello, I am Chantal! I am a dual French and Swiss citizen, raised in the United States, and I can definitely say that I was born with the travel bug.

My love for travel and my immersion in the hospitality industry led me to study business and hospitality management at the Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne.

Throughout and after my studies, I moved around between Paris, London and Geneva to work in the operations, sales and marketing teams of some of the world’s most unique boutique properties.

In our spare time, Max and I would love to not only travel through the many cultures of the world, but also to uncover what we have in our own backyard.

My passion for adventure and unique experiences led me to create a more tailored and personable approach in the travel industry. In 2017 I co-founded Chantal & Max, because I wanted to share all wonders of Switzerland that tourists rarely get to see as they follow the traditional tourist map.

Hi, this is Max! I was born and raised in the region of Lake Léman, one of my favourite parts of the world still today. With my eye for detail, love for travel and innate dedication to go above and beyond in ensuring the well-being of those around me, there could not be a more obvious path than pursuing the Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne.

I graduated with not only my diploma, but also a hefty number of stamps in my passport and the girl of my dreams, Chantal. My career to this day, whether in London, Malta or Switzerland always married my two passions: luxury hospitality operations and the thrill of entrepreneurship. In 2017, I co-founded Chantal &Max and so far, I’ve been lucky enough to collect a significant amount of inspiration as to what makes a holiday unique and unforgettable.
