Switzerland from Ahmedabad - Why Book with Shahi Travels?

Last updated: July 2026 | Prices verified for the 2026-27 season

Switzerland has long held a place in the dreams of Indian travellers, and its popularity among Gujaratis is no accident. The country that inspired countless Bollywood films - from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge to more recent blockbusters - delivers a real-life visual spectacle that no screen can fully capture. Our Switzerland tour package from Ahmedabad takes you through the very best of this Alpine wonderland over a carefully curated 7 nights / 8 days.

Your journey begins in Zurich, Switzerland's cosmopolitan financial capital, where the old town (Altstadt) with its medieval guild houses, cobblestone lanes, and the famous Bahnhofstrasse shopping boulevard set the tone for Swiss elegance. The shores of Lake Zurich provide a tranquil backdrop for your first Alpine evening.

Lucerne is arguably Switzerland's most photogenic city. The iconic Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) - a 14th-century wooden covered bridge adorned with paintings - stretches across the emerald Reuss River against a backdrop of Mount Pilatus. A cable car ride up Mt. Pilatus (2,132 m) rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views over 73 Alpine peaks on a clear day.

The crown jewel of any Switzerland tour package from Ahmedabad is undoubtedly Jungfraujoch - Top of Europe. At 3,454 metres above sea level, the Jungfraujoch railway station is Europe's highest. The cogwheel train journey from Interlaken through the flower-filled valleys of Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen is itself a visual feast. At the summit, you walk on the Aletsch Glacier - the largest glacier in the Alps - and enjoy views stretching into Germany, France, and Austria on clear days.

Interlaken, nestled between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, is the adventure capital of Switzerland, offering paragliding, skydiving, bungee jumping, and scenic hikes for the thrill-seekers in your group. Even if adventure sports aren't your thing, the lakeside promenades and mountain views are reward enough.

The Glacier Express - billed as the world's slowest express train - connects Zermatt to St. Moritz through 91 tunnels and 291 bridges over 8 hours of breathtaking Alpine scenery. Our Switzerland package includes a segment of this legendary journey, one of the most iconic rail experiences on earth.

Geneva and Bern round out the itinerary. Geneva's Jet d'Eau fountain shoots 140 metres into the air above Lake Geneva, while the Bern old town - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - enchants with its sandstone arcades, clock tower (Zytglogge), and bear park. The Swiss capital's markets and artisan chocolate shops are unmissable.

Travellers flying from Ahmedabad typically connect through Dubai, Doha, or Delhi to reach Zurich. Shahi Travels handles your Schengen visa application, international flights, Swiss Travel Pass, hotel bookings, and all transfers - so you focus purely on the experience. We also help arrange travel insurance, forex, and any special requirements for your group.
