Switzerland Beyond the Tourist Hotspots: Must-Visit Villages and Historic Towns

Searching for some of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland that aren’t popular tourist hotspots? Tune in as I chat with Christian Guerra from The Most Beautiful Villages in Switzerland Association to uncover Switzerland’s hidden gems. 

Christian shares expert insights on why the association exists, what makes a village worthy of inclusion, and how these destinations offer something truly unique. 

We spotlight must-see villages like Urnäsch in the Appenzell region, Champery in Valais, and Bönigen in the Bernese Oberland, all recently added to the association’s exclusive list. 

Discover how you can reach these charming Swiss villages via public transport or road, and their unique characteristics.

We also discuss the Swiss Historic Towns program, which celebrates towns with rich history and distinctive architecture. You’ll learn about Diessenhofen on the River Rhine, and the elegant towns of Solothurn and Bremgarten.

Switzerland is full of picturesque destinations but if you’d like to venture beyond the usual tourist trail, a visit to one of the Swiss Historic Towns or Most Beautiful Villages in Switzerland is a must.

Hit play and let us help you plan your trip to some of the hidden gems in Switzerland.

Happy travels,
Carolyn
