5 Photos That Will Make You Want to Visit Switzerland

Discover more about the majestic Matterhorn mountain and the natural beauty of Davos Lake and Lake Geneva.

At Riviera Travel, we send our staff on educational trips to the wonderful destinations where we take customers on our escorted tours and cruises.  This gives our team the specialist insight needed to constantly improve our customers’ experience.  After all, how can we offer the best service if we don’t actually experience first-hand what our customers do?

When they return from these trips, our staff always share what they’ve learned with the rest of us.  And of course, it’s great to get out, see more of our amazing world, and come back refreshed with a new outlook.  In September, Kez, who’s part of our Operations department, went on our Switzerland, the Matterhorn and the Glacier Express tour, which takes you through some astonishingly beautiful Alpine landscapes. Kez described the weather as, “Beautiful!  27 degrees and blue skies all week long!”.
