With chalets in Switzerland becoming accessible to just a click on your phone, your dream honeymoon is not that far away now. So, here’s a look at the top romantic getaways in Switzerland for you to enjoy.

1. Lake Geneva

The largest body of water in Switzerland is also one of the prettiest. With the background of Swiss Alps, this Lake offers a place to relax and enjoy the beautiful world all around you. You can choose one of the many viewing points at Montreux and Vevey, or make your way to the quaint town of Lausanne. All of these towns offer tours with lounging on the bank of the lake to enjoy a quiet fulfilling evening. 
If you’re looking for a more out-of-the-box getaway for your partner, the Chateau de Chillon, the Chateau also offers a slice of medieval life for you to enjoy. 
Pro Tip: For music enthusiasts, the Montreux Jazz Fest is one of the best concerts you can escape to, so, try and plan your trip around that.

2. St. Moritz

St. Moritz is a town that radiates poshness. It’s one of the wealthiest cities in Switzerland and is home to some of the best restaurants and hotels in the country. Treat yourself to the many treks that use this town as an epicenter and visit the nearby Alps mountains to enjoy scenic beauties. 
If team building and trust is the goal of your romance, try out the grueling Skeleton Run, a race through the icy Alps that is sure to score points with budding adventurers.
St. Moritz is also home to one of the best traditions of food in the world. Come January, world-renowned chefs visit the town to show off their culinary skills. So, if food is the reason you travel, Switzerland in late January is a must.


3. Foroglio

The hustle and bustle of tourist towns aren’t for everyone to enjoy. For those of us who want a quieter place to hang out away from all the stress, Foroglio offers a great chance. This quaint little place in the valley oversees a massive waterfall in the distance and offers terrific Italian cuisine for you to enjoy. 
You are looking to head out for some adventure. Foroglio is bordered with some dense forests, and nature walks are a regular attraction for the town. Take your partner on a solitary nature walk through one of the old routes, or take a trip to try out something more difficult or new. 
Pro Tip: Foroglio is straight out of a picture book. However, it’s also located in the only valley in Switzerland without electricity, so, plan accordingly and keep yourself well-stocked from beforehand.

4. Les Bains de Lavey

No romantic trip is complete without a full spa relaxation. Les Bains de Lavey offers some of the most exciting relaxing experiences throughout the Swiss Alps. Laze around the hot springs that are abundant in the area, or treat yourself to a Turkish Bath. 
You’re sure to get whirlpools and massage treatments aplenty in this place too. If you’re looking for a day of unwinding and just being close with your partner, this is the place to go to.

Most tourists go here to attempt the hike through the path of “Tour du Mont Blanc” a mountain road that connects the Italian side of the valley to the Switzerland one. 
However, the quiet of the valleys are enough for you to enjoy a romantic getaway of the best variety. Make your way through one of the walking trails to see the local flora and to discover viewing spots scattered across the region, or make your way through the hikes in the mountains for something more adventurous.

6. Brecca Gorge

Many places claim to hold the natural beauty of Switzerland, but, areas like the Brecca Gorge proves why this country is one of the best vacations you’ll take. Located just above Lake Schwarzsee, this is a beautiful spot to find hiking trails and get lost in the Alpine flora. 
Your discovery is sure to take you to one of the many Alpine dairies in the region, where you’ll be welcomed with open hands. The Brecca is one of the most romantic spots because of the peace it offers. 
You can sit along one of the trails and enjoy the majestic views or go on a full two day trip around the gorge to feed your sense of adventure.
