The grand tour of Switzerland Rent. Enjoy. Travel.

The Grand Tour of Switzerland is a fully signposted route through Switzerland. A route of 1,600 kilometres connects numerous sights, nature and culture. The route is so well signposted that you don’t even need a navigation system. There are over 650 Grand Tour signposts along the route.

The dream road takes you past 44 highlights of Switzerland, 22 lakes and 11 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Five Alpine passes offer breath taking landscape panoramas and unforgettable moments. If you complete the Grand Tour of Switzerland, you can claim with conviction that you have seen Switzerland.

We travelled the whole route in our campervan in a period of four weeks. Switzerland has so much to offer that we couldn’t even see everything in that time! But again, you can claim with conviction:

“The way is the goal”

We have experienced so much in these four weeks that we will never forget this travel highlight again. Cities like Bern, Zurich or Lucerne have inspired us. We hiked over the highest peaks and took a country to our hearts that was never on our travel plan. You want to read more about our Switzerland Road Trip? Then please come this way:

Did you ever think of making a road trip through Switzerland? If not, than this is the moment!

Our vehicle recommendation for the grand tour of Switzerland:


The Grand Tour track was designed primarily for cars, Classic Cars and motorbikes.

However, we had no problems with our “Betty”, a small van, on the way. But beware! Sometimes it got a little bit tighter. Especially in smaller villages or on isolated pass roads…

Therefore we advise you to use a smaller camper. Compact and powerful, so that the mountain passes are also fun! With a bigger camper it would have been very narrow in some places. Larger vehicles have to reckon with restrictions along the route and sometimes deviate slightly from the route. But even that is possible.

Grand Tour photo spots


There are so-called photo spots along the entire route of the Grand Tour of Switzerland. They can be recognised by the shape of the Grand Tour coat of arms and serve as photo frames. In this way, travel highlights such as various scenic and architectural sights can be staged and taken home as digital souvenirs. Cool or not?


Grand Tour Snackbox


You can buy the red Grand Tour Snackbox at 50 official points of sale. You can have this “picnic basket” filled on site with regional specialities for two people. From Swiss chocolate to delicious cheese… there is always something from the region, including two non-alcoholic drinks. If you would like to get to know Switzerland from a culinary point of view, you should definitely not miss the Grand Tour Snackbox!

Hello, we, Pascale and Claude, where no camping friends at all! This way of travelling was never an option for us, although we love to discover many things and we love hiking, we were never attracted by camping life.

Now, 2 years ago, I "had to" make the experience for the first time - we were given the big Bürstner for a few days and thus spent our first camping holiday.

We were already very impressed by the comfort and size of this camper. We stayed 3 nights at the Bostalsee and found it not too bad...

However, the size of the camper disturbed us, because you can't leave "spontaneously" to return to the camping site in the evening.

Now we dared it again and this time we rented the small Mercedes Marco Polo.

And what can I say, the camping and camper fever got hold of us! We spent a week hiking through our beautiful country Luxembourg, inspired by "Pataschas World".

We visited four different campsites and each time we were the eye-catcher with our chic Marco Polo. We liked this camper by far better than the big one, but that's a matter of taste. Super driving feeling, super manoeuvrable and unbelievably fast to set up. Although it is smaller, it has a lot of storage space.

Of course you have to be well organised to find everything in its place, but whether you want to cook or eat in the camper all is possible. Even blow-drying your hair and putting on make-up works great. Thanks to the mirror cabinet you have everything you need as a woman, it was absolutely fun!

We also tried both beds and found that the upper one is much more comfortable and a little wider. In the beginning I was a bit uncomfortable to climb up there, because you don't have a ladder (you have to climb up over the seats) but quickly you get the hang of it and know how to get up and down.

All in all I must say that I enjoyed this trip incredibly and we are looking forward to the next tour with the camper. Then we will test the slightly bigger one, which also has a WC on board. This is really the only thing missing in this great Mercedes Marco Polo.

(*Note from Travelovers: there is a toilet box for the Marco Polo available for every customer - it is up to each customer to decide whether they want to take it with or not. There is also an outdoor shower available)

We are Tascha and Patrick, two full-time travel bloggers from Luxembourg. On our blog https://pataschasworld.com we document our travel experiences and give tips and inspiration. The focus is on vanlife and road trips.

Travelling in a campervan means a great deal of freedom for us. Being flexible and able to arrange our everyday life as we please. There is no hotel to check in at a certain time, no flight or train to miss...nothing like that. Furthermore, we have everything we need: a kitchen, a living room, a bed and the biggest garden in the world!

This way of travelling lets us get to know the country and its people more intensively. We get contact with other travellers quickly and often get valuable tips and information about the place where we are.

With a motorhome, whether large or small, we travel completely stress-free. If we like a place, we take a spontaneous break. Sometimes we even stay overnight or for several days at a time. If we don't like it, then we just drive on. That's exactly what we appreciate so much about this kind of travelling: being free!
