Switzerland's exceptional venues for unforgettable experiences

Switzerland has emerged as one of Europe's most versatile destinations for international conventions and corporate events, emphasizing an exceptional diversity of distinctive venues that far surpass conventional locations.

The Swiss landscape offers a remarkable variety of extraordinary venues. From Hotel Pilatus-Kulm, a high-altitude venue at 2,132 meters, to historic castles and underground caves, Switzerland transforms every gathering into an unforgettable experience.

A prime example is Schilthorn Piz Gloria, which distinguishes itself as a unique venue at 2,970 meters altitude, accessible via the world's steepest aerial cableway. The rotating restaurant, famous for its James Bond connection (On Her Majesty's Secret Service), provides a 360-degree panoramic view across the Bernese Alps and is ideal for VIP receptions and exclusive corporate meetings.

Historic grandeur

Switzerland's rich heritage delivers exceptional historic venues, such as the sixteenth-century Château Salavaux, nestled amid the vineyards of Vully. This castle features a grand ballroom with vaulted ceilings and chandeliers, combined with modern conference facilities accommodating up to 300 participants.

Burgdorf Castle, the best-preserved castle complex of the Zähringian dynasty, offers indoor and outdoor spaces for seminars and conferences in a setting dating back to the Middle Ages. There are also remarkable monasteries such as Culinarium Alpinum, where participants can dine in historic cellars or deliver presentations in monastery gardens.

Natural spectacle

The St. Beatus Caves, one of Switzerland's ten largest cave systems, provide a unique underground meeting experience. With professional facilities for corporate events, group excursions, and seminars, it combines the naturally spectacular environment with modern event capabilities.

For planners seeking the extraordinary, Aquatis, Europe's largest freshwater aquarium, offers a fascinating backdrop for corporate events. This venue combines educational elements with state-of-the-art facilities accommodating up to 2,000 participants.

Wine routes as leisure option

The Grape Escapes program introduces an innovative approach to corporate events by connecting sixty accommodations across six different wine regions. Participants can craft complete wine tours combining various accommodations and regions, ranging from simple “Räbhüsli” to chic boutique hotels and castles.

The opportunity to deliver presentations in luxury charter cars such as the 'Salon Suisse' or Red Arrow Churchill during transfers between venues illustrates how Switzerland transforms transportation into part of the event experience.

Excellently accessible

Despite the spectacular locations of these venues, Switzerland maintains its reputation for outstanding accessibility. Glacier-altitude trains and high-elevation cable cars are standard components of the infrastructure, making even the most remote mountain peaks accessible for professional events.
