Frequently asked questions
Do Indian passport holders need a visa?
Yes. Switzerland is part of the Schengen area, so Indians need a short-stay Schengen visa. The fee is around 9,500 rupees and is not included in the package; the operator provides documentation assistance only.
What is the best time to do this trip?
May to early October is ideal for green meadows and clear mountain views. June and July are peak. December to March is good if you want snow at Mt Titlis but several alpine excursions close.
Are vegetarian and Jain meals available?
Hotel breakfasts include vegetarian items and Indian restaurants are easy to find in Lucerne, Zurich, and Interlaken. Strict Jain meals are limited and best self-arranged or pre-booked at Indian restaurants.
How much walking is involved?
Light to moderate. Most days have under 5 km of walking with cable cars handling the climbs. Old-town tours are on cobbled streets, so comfortable shoes help.
Is it land-only or does it include flights?
This is a land-only joining-Zurich product. You arrange your own international flights and Schengen visa.
Can the itinerary be customised?
Yes. Common add-ons include a Jungfraujoch day from Interlaken or extra nights in Zermatt.
