Best Places to Visit in Switzerland
Some of the best places to visit on your Switzerland tour package from Kerala include:
Zurich
Switzerland's largest city and the main international arrival point for Kerala travellers flying into ZRH. Most packages begin and end here, making it the practical orientation stop before the scenic circuit starts.
Lucerne
A lake town with a compact old town, Chapel Bridge, and direct rail access to Mount Titlis. It is the strongest single base for couples and honeymooners on Kerala-origin packages, combining lake scenery with mountain access in one stop.
Interlaken
A valley town positioned between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, used as the base for Jungfraujoch and Bernese Oberland excursions. It is the only practical rail hub for reaching Jungfraujoch and the surrounding high-altitude stations from this circuit.
Jungfraujoch
Your Switzerland trip from Kerala is incomplete if you miss this beauty. It’s the highest railway station in Europe at 3,454 metres and is accessible by rail from Interlaken via Grindelwald. The Eiger Express cable car, opening mid-2026, cuts ascent time to 15 minutes from Grindelwald, making this the most time-efficient mountain excursion on the circuit.
Mount Titlis
A 3,020-metre peak above Engelberg, accessed via the world's first rotating cable car. It is included in base packages with the Swiss Pass and Ice Flyer access, making it the most cost-efficient mountain day on Kerala-origin Switzerland itineraries.
This is one of the most loved experiences of the trip and one of our travelers highlighted the same in their review. Mandar Khire booked the package Wonders of Switzerland and Paris | Glitz & Glaciers. He said, “Mount Titlis was breathtaking, especially the snow experience, Rotair cable car, and Cliff Walk. The Swiss Travel Pass arrangements and internal travel planning were also very smooth and easy to follow. We would definitely look forward to travelling with Thrillophilia again in the future.”
Rhine Falls
Europe's largest waterfall by volume, located near Schaffhausen, approximately one hour from Zurich by rail. The shared 15-minute boat tour to the base of the falls is included in base packages, making it a no-additional-cost half-day addition to the Zurich leg.
Things to Do in Switzerland
Here are some of the best things to do on your Switzerland tour package from Kerala.
Rotair cable car ride to Mount Titlis summit
The Rotair is the world's first revolving cable car, ascending from Engelberg to 3,020 metres with 360-degree glacier views. Combine it with the Ice Flyer chairlift over open glacier crevasses at the summit.
INR 12,155.92 (round trip)
.
Jungfraujoch rail excursion
A rack railway ascent to 3,454 metres from Grindelwald or Lauterbrunnen, now faster with the Eiger Express cable car opening mid-2026. The summit includes the Sphinx Observatory, an ice palace, and open snow fields.
INR 27,052.88 onwards (round trip)
.
Lake Lucerne cruise
A scenic boat cruise on Lake Lucerne covering the central lake stretch is included in base packages alongside the Lucerne walking tour. The cruise gives lake-level views of the surrounding Alps that are not replicable from the shore.
INR 2,979 onwards
Rhine Falls shared boat tour
A 15-minute shared boat ride from the riverbank to the base of the falls, giving close-range views of the water volume and spray. Included in base packages.
