Why You Should Join Us
The Switzerland beyond Chocolate community combines the best of both worlds - classic, up-to-date tourism information, personal support & travel community - with the same level of professionalism, but without limited opening hours, long lines, and, most importantly, completely independent from marketing contracts with tourist service providers.
See, the way the tourism industry works, tourism information often has contracts with tourist attractions and is therefore tied to recommend these places. After a while, many of these places tend to be overcrowded in peak season, with negative impacts on the environment and your experience.
At Switzerland Beyond Chocolate, on the other side, memorable experiences during your vacation are the only factor to consider. Want to make a bird life tour in Switzerland's only national park? Take a hot balloon flight over the vineyards in Laveaux, and make your own Ice cream at a local farm in Lucerne?
No problem, we can assist you with tips & tricks, point you in the right direction, and even arrange a booking for you if requested. We love to think outside the box and help you create your dream itinerary. Usually focusing on a mix of must-sees and authentic off-the-beaten-track suggestions with a focus on slow travel
We love to showcase the diversity of our country while being honest about any downsides, cultural specialties, or challenges.
