The need to know

Getting around

Odyssey travels by coach and occasionally uses local transport, including trains and ferries. Specifics are always outlined in your tour itinerary. Buses, trains and taxis are widely available.

Accommodation

In major cities, Odyssey stays in centrally located 3-4 star hotels, with easy access to public transport. In smaller towns or rural areas, we usually stay in family-run hotels or guesthouses. On our longstay tours, during which you spend the length of the tour in a single location, we use serviced apartments.

Tour Guides

Odyssey always engages local guides with regional knowledge to ensure an authentic experience during which you can learn as much as possible about the history and culture of places you visit.

Geography, Environment, & Weather

Switzerland, world-famous for the beauty and uniqueness of its landscapes, is a mountainous and landlocked country, located in Western and Central Europe. Switzerland covers and area of 41,293 square kilometres is well known for the Alps in the south and south east.

Switzerland experiences many climates due to elevation above sea-level that ranges from 193 to 4,634 metres.

Seasonal precipitation can be high in some areas, so check the weather reports and prepare accordingly depending on when you intend to travel.

World Heritage sites

Switzerland has 12 properties inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites List. You can view the official list of the sites here (https://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/ch/). The current World Heritage Sites in Switzerland include:

Abbey of St Gall, The Convent of St Gall, a perfect example of a great Carolingian monastery, was, from the 8th century to its secularization in 1805, one of the most important in Europe.

Swiss Alps Jungfrau-Aletsch, with its surface area up to 82,400 ha. The site provides an outstanding example of the formation of the High Alps, including the most glaciated part of the mountain range and the largest glacier in Eurasia.

Festivals & Events

Switzerland is well-known for its music, jazz and rock & roll festivals. The International Balloon Festival is held in January every year. Château-d’Oex hosts this festival as it is the capital of Swiss hot air balloons. Geneva Motor Show is held in mid-March every year. Many well-known companies display their cars on this show for the first time before the whole world. Versoix hold the Festichoc festival every year – a “must visit” for every chocolate lover.

Eating & Drinking

The cuisine of Switzerland tends to be made up of German, French and Italian influences. Meals tend to have an emphasis on bread, dairy and cheese with cheese being a massive part of the Swiss culture. There are more than 100 different varieties of cheese found in the country. Despite this large amount, cheese is not mass-produced; rather it is made by hundreds of dairies with very strict rules and regulations. Popular dishes include:

Fondue: This dish consists of Emmentaler and natural Gruyère cheese (either mixed or separately) mixed with other local cheese, melted over a portable stove, combined with white wine. Bread is then placed on long stemmed forks and is dipped into the cheese.

Racletteis both a cheese and a type of dish. It is heated raclette cheese in front of a fire, and once it starts to soften, it is scraped onto a plate.

Pastetli is a Swiss meat pie that often has different fillings, served with rice and peas.

Rippli are pork ribs that are popular in Bern, served with bacon, beans, and potatoes.

Health & Safety

Generally speaking, Switzerland is safe to travel in, though always exercise common sense while travelling.

Electrical Supply

Whenever you travel overseas, it’s always wise to take an appropriate travel adaptor. Croatia’s electricity supply runs at 230V and 50Hz. Croatia uses both the Type C and Type J electric plugs, so make sure you have the right travel adaptor with you.

The best of Switzerland

The Matterhorn

Switzerland's iconic pointed peak is one of the highest mountains in the Alps.

One of Switzerland's most popular summer destinations, surrounded by breathtaking mountainviews.

A car-free medieval old town by a sparkling blue lake and surrounded by mountains, waterfront promenades, frescoed historic buildings, and sun-splashed plazas with bubbling fountains.

Tour Reviews

I was impressed by the number of places we visited. It was a very full itinerary which I like. We saw things of interest every day. I see no fault with the tour.

Participant 2017

Anglo French Tour | Normandy, Brittany, Channel Islands tour

Every day was different with so much to see and do. Volcanoes, craters (including the pseudo ones), bubbling mud pools, and the active Strokkur Geyser, the bird life, black sand beaches, and those beautiful Icelandic horses. The time flew by...

Participant 2016

Iceland cultural and wilderness small group tour

It is hard to believe that such a small country can contain so much dramatic scenery. Icecaps and glaciers, huge waterfalls, volcanos and hot bubbling mud, and those wonderful fjords and high mountain passes

The country was apparently calm and safe. People were friendly and helpful. Such a pity there has been such a down turn in tourism. Ros & Tony S. Sep '17

Small group tour of Ancient Turkey

Our guide was a great ambassador for his country, wide knowledge of literature, history, customs, industry, fishing - also a perceptive and sensitive person who inter-acted so willingly with all of us!

Our guide Filiz was wonderful, very well informed, historical insights very helpful, her care for our well being exceptional. Could not have wished for a better tour leader.

We felt safe in Turkey and found the people friendly and helpful. Prices were excellent and the food almost universally magnificent. There is so much to see in the natural and built environment and the wonderful archaeological sites. It is sad to see the ordinary people and businesses suffering from the lack of tourists. Mary B. Sep '17

The geographical wonders offered by Iceland and Greenland left me in awe. The grandeur and spectacle of the countryside is breathtaking. Our leader (Rob) was excellent: well-researched, friendly, organized and good-humoured.

What is the time zone?

Switzerland has a single time zone, Central European Time (UTC+1). Switzerland observes summer time, shifting to Central European Summer Time (UTC+2).

What is the internet access like in Switzerland?

WiFi should be available in most hotels, cafes and restaurants when travelling in Switzerland.

Is tipping customary?

If you’re on an Odyssey tour, we take care of tipping so you don’t need to give it a second thought. However, in your free time, or if travelling independently, it’s essential that you tip an appropriate amount for services. Tipping is not customary in Switzerland, with service charges often included with restaurant bills. If you do feel the need to tip, a tip of around 5-10% would be about par.

Can I use my mobile phone in Switzerland?

Check with your cell phone provider to see whether you’re able to make calls and use data while in Switzerland. Many providers will allow you to pay a daily fee that allows you to make calls and check the internet while only being charged your regular rates. However, be certain to inform your provider that you’re heading overseas, because just like a bank they can turn off your service as a result of unusual activity.

Responsible travel tips for Switzerland

• Learn at least the local greetings to break the ice. Although many locals speak English, the more you know of the native language, the greater your experience of the country will be.
• Carry a business card in your wallet or purse from your local hotel, to assist you with the return journey if you do become lost.
• Always ensure that you are covered by travel insurance. If you need advice on this feel free to contact Odyssey and we’ll be able to help.
• When travelling independently, make sure you check the opening hours of shops and museums so that you don’t miss out! Museums and galleries are often closed on Mondays. Also be certain to check whether your trip coincides with any public holidays, so you can plan accordingly.
• Consider contacting your bank to inform them that you may be making purchases overseas. Otherwise, they may flag any activity on your account as suspicious. Also, check which ATMs and banks are compatible with your cards, to ensure you can withdraw cash with minimal fees.
• Before departing, make sure you have a number of Swiss Franc in a range of denominations. You don’t want to be carrying around enormous amounts of cash, but take enough to make it easy to pay in locations that might not accept credit card. It will also help you avoid card transaction fees, and it makes tipping a breeze.

The property where Charlie Chaplin spent his last years provides an intimate glimpse into the iconic entertainer's life and work. Be moved by a walk through the vast estate, where you will marvel at his original bowler hat and boots, hear tales from friends and touch painstakingly replicated movie sets.

Zentrum Paul Klee

The namesake of this museum is one of the 20th century's most important artists. Step into the space to quietly take in his artworks, you might find yourself lost in the famous cubism inspired 'Insula dulcamara' or colorful jigsaw that the German-Swiss genius was most famous for.

Best museums in Switzerland

There's more to this landlocked country than army knives and chocolate. With Trafalgar, you will gain a deeper understanding of Switzerland through these must-visit museums.

Once a farmers’ breakfast, Rösti is now a plate popular amongst the Swiss. One bite into this crisp baked potato and you will be hooked. Luckily, the country's many regions boast their own versions, offering an excuse to sample many during your tour of Switzerland.

There is more to this classic fare than dipping bread into a pot of melted cheese. It’s a sacred pastime. To the Swiss, fresh bread and bubbling creamy Gruyere is incomplete without one vital ingredient: good company. Indulge in authentic fondue in Switzerland in the company of new friends.

Swiss chocolate

Chocolate aficionados will find no shortage of pleasure in the smooth chocolate of Switzerland. The birthplace of Lindt, Toblerone, Mövenpick and more, a banquet of cocoa will be enjoyed here in the name of culture.

Best food in Switzerland

Baked potato, melted cheese and genuine chocolate. The culinary delights of Switzerland were designed with only the pleasure of taste in mind, and it's an indulgence Trafalgar is only too happy to share with you.

What to pack for Switzerland

Even in summer, layers are vital in Switzerland. Temperatures differ throughout through the country and can get particularly crisp in the higher mountains.

A good quality camera

In a place known for pinch me moments, it would be remiss to forget something more than just a smartphone to capture them all.

Swiss Francs

Switzerland may be at the core of Europe, but this country abandoned the Euro many years ago. Though you can still use them in some larger establishments, but it's better to arm yourself with plenty of Francs so you're never caught short.

A phrasebook

A phrasebook with the national languages of German, French and Italian is essential on a tour of Switzerland. If you really can’t spare the space, download them to your Google Translate app offline.

Walking shoes

If your trip is likely to see you traversing the dynamic landscapes of Switzerland, a pair of sturdy walking shoes or hiking boots should be on the packing list.

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Tips for Senior Travelers in Switzerland

Certain hotels, restaurants, or even tourist attractions offer senior discounts. Of course, these establishments prefer you to pay full price unless you speak up and specifically request a senior discount. Time and time again you might be denied, and then, on one day of travel, you might be granted two or three discounts in a row. It's a mixed bag.

Recent tour reviews

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip as a senior.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises). However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

Learn more about Intrepid's COVID-19 policy

Who are Intrepid travelers?

Intrepid adventures are for travelers with a yearning to get off the beaten track. Whether you're traveling solo, with a group of friends, or are aged 18 or 70, there is an Intrepid adventure to suit your interests and comfort level. Each Intrepid adventure has a physical and cultural grading to help you decide if the trip is right for you. No special skills are required for most adventures, just a sense of adventure and a curiosity about the world. Even on our camping adventures no previous experience is required; our tents are easy to set up, even for first-time campers. 

Are there age restrictions on your trips?

For the majority of our trips the minimum age is 15. An adult must accompany all children under the age of 18. Our Overland Adventures have a minimum age of 18. Younger children can join us on our Family trips and Short Break Adventures, but check each trip for its minimum age, which is located on the trip’s overview page on the website. Most of our trips don’t have a maximum age limit, but a Self-Assessment Form is required for all passengers 70 years and over. 

How many people will be on my trip?

Good things come in small packages, which is why we keep our group sizes down. This means we’re small enough to remain flexible as we thread our way through communities without intimidating the locals. On most of our trips you’ll be part of an intimate group of 12-16 people, though our group sizes are on average 10 people. Our Overland trips are in purpose-built vehicles that can carry up to 24 travelers. Group sizes are displayed on each trip’s overview page on our website. 

I’m traveling alone – is that OK?

This is the beauty of the Intrepid style of travel: many of our travelers join because they are traveling solo and want to meet and share experiences with like-minded people.

Learn more about solo travel

I have a disability – can I join an Intrepid trip?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. We ask that you carefully consider whether you are physically and mentally able to complete the itinerary you have chosen, recognizing that on many trips you will be required to carry your own bags and use public transport. 

Where we can we will make reasonable adjustments to the operation of our trips to facilitate the requirements of disabled travelers – such as booking ground floor accommodation, or having our leaders communicate important directions in writing as well as verbally. Many travelers with disabilities have been able to enjoy our trips by traveling with a friend or companion who can assist with specific needs. If joining a group trip is not practical we may be able to provide you with a private departure. Please contact our sales team for further information on any of our itineraries. 

Learn more about accessible travel with Intrepid

Do I need to buy travel insurance?

Travel insurance is compulsory on all our trips if you’re traveling internationally. Minimum coverage may differ from trip to trip, so make sure you check the Travel Insurance section in your Essential Trip Information. You will not be permitted to join the group until your leader has sighted your insurance policy number and the insurance company's 24-hour emergency contact number – it’s really important there are no barriers to getting emergency assistance for you. 

Will I have my own room?

It's your call. Rooming on our trips is organized on a twin-share basis, but most of our trips also have the option to pay an extra fee for your own room. Just let us know at the time of booking and we'll arrange it for you. 

For twin-share rooms, we pair up solo travelers with another traveler of the same gender as per the gender marker on each of their passports. As a responsible tour operator, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone. In the case that your gender identity differs from what's indicated on your passport, please contact us so that we can discuss rooming options with you. 

On a small selection of itineraries some accommodations are booked on an open-gender, multi-share basis. In those instances it will clearly be stated in your Essential Trip Information. 

How does group time work?

Whether you’re traveling alone or with a partner, our trips have a set itinerary. But within that there’s time set aside for your own exploration (if you want to – no pressure). Depending on how you're feeling, you may want to have some downtime, ask your guide for a few tips then head out alone, or hang out with the group and see where the day takes you. 

What makes a small group tour better than a coach tour?

The main difference between a small group tour and a coach tour is the size of the group; our tours have 10 travelers each (on average) while coaches can hold up to 60 people. This means that you'll never have to vie for your leader's attention on a small group tour because you'll automatically have it.

• In-depth Cultural
• Coach / Bus

Country Roads of Switzerland (Classic, 14 Days)

Tour Director Carl Eggeling made it an exceptional tour with his extensive knowledge and exhuberant personality.

Grand Tour of Switzerland

This tour covered Switzerland to perfection. The tour director Marco was amazing and entertaining. He was passionate about his job and it showed in the whole tour running like clockwork. Salvatore did a great job navigating the narrow streets. Could not have asked for two better guides

European Splendour (End Paris, 11 Days)

Tour guide Debbie is very knowledgeable and deal with each situation with her great experience. Very responsible. Hotel selections are the best. Lots of options for free day. Overall great experience. Will definitely recommend to others

• €100 deposit on some dates Some departure dates offer you the chance to book this tour with a lower deposit.

Italian Mosaic

I would highly recommend the Italian Mosaic tour. Everything was so well organized and Sabina our tour guide was outstanding. Gerardo our bus driver did an excellent job and I felt totally safe with him driving. Daily included tours were excellent and optional tours worth the cost.

Glorious Switzerland (Classic, 8 Days)

What a terrific journey! The trip includes visits to Geneva, Montreux, Zermatt, Baveno, St. Moritz, Liechtenstein and Lucerne. Glacial lakes, stunning mountains and beautiful scenery everywhere you look! One of my favourite experiences was the Glacier Express, through the heart of the Swiss Alps. Martin was our superb Travel Director, and he was an incredible force as he acted as host, and organized even the smallest details. Wandering through the mountains surrounding Zermatt in my free time was a memory I will appreciate forever. A fantastic journey, done in impressive style!

Best of Switzerland (9 Days)

Wasn’t sure I would like a bus tour but our tour guide did an excellent job of keeping everything running smoothly. I felt stopping in Bern to see the bears did not give us a very good over view of Bern. We could have skipped that stop. The included meals were only so so. The optional tours were excellent. Did get to see a lot of Switzerland and experience all forms of transportation.

Alpine Adventure, Bernina & Glacier Express

It was a great trip with many beautiful places to see Anita was our tour guide and she was so caring an patient with all of us I would definitely recommend this tour to very one .

European Highlights

Excellent tour! Laura was amazing! Very informative about all the countries we visited. Fast tour but go to experience many things.

• Hiking & Trekking
• Mountain Hikes

Mont Blanc Rambler

What a great introduction to the Mont Blanc circuit! We covered Northern half of the 170km circuit anticlockwise from Camoyeur, Italy to Chamonix in France The trip would have been perfect with hikers better vetted! There is a 15 min gap between the front and back of group sometimes! The guide was refreshing! I appreciate his introducing us the main food of each country everyday, different cheeses from each country, different meals,... the lunches were delicious! I put on weight despite the hike! The accommodation was a shock to me though! Unless you don’t mind bunking in with ten others, once with ten mattresses in the room! Better to get a twin room if you can . Apart from the two suggestions, the trip is perfect!

The SwissPass saves you having to think about renewing your travelcard. Your SwissPass card is valid for several years and we automatically renew your travelcard on the same card. 

Minimum contract term of six months.

Every GA Travelcard has an initial minimum contract term of six months, regardless of the payment interval. After that, you decide whether to continue your travelcard or cancel it at the end of each travelcard month, giving notice of one travelcard month.

Purchasing the GA Travelcard.

The ga travelcard for seniors with annual or monthly payment..

Choose whether to pay for your GA Travelcard yearly or monthly. If you would rather pay in smaller, regular amounts, we recommend the GA Travelcard with monthly payment for you. This way, you can benefit from unlimited mobility for any number of months and pay monthly, subject to the minimum contract term of six months.
