Swiss Traditions and Know-How’s

We believe that at the center of any exceptional holiday is the personal, face-to-face human connection. Because after all, what is a country without its people?

Since its birth back in 1291, Switzerland has made a point to keep its customs and traditions close to its heart. Fine Swiss know-hows such as the alphorn, chocolate-making, cow-bell making and the delicate art of Scherrenschnitte have been passed down for generations. In our carefully-curated little black book, you’ll find a number of these Swiss locals who perpetuate our traditions and look forward to welcoming you to share their passion.

It’s time to become a true insider! Let Max take you backstage, behind Switzerland’s façade, for a custom guided tour during which he’ll introduce you to these fascinating storytellers… one unforgettable step at a time.

Add the following encounters to your bespoke itinerary:

  • Meet a Scherrenschnitte (paper-cutting) artist in her private atelier and try your hand at this delicate art
  • Get your hands dirty in your private Swiss chocolate-making workshop
  • See how the cow-bell is made and personalize your own to take home
  • Visit one of Switzerland’s last alphorn makers and let him play a tune for you
  • Get up at sunrise to meet a local farmer family to observe the traditional methods of cheese-making
