Whether you're looking to relax and unwind after all the hectic planning or whether you're seeking plenty of adventure, Switzerland can combine both. With superb spa resorts at which to pamper yourselves and great mountain peaks to hike there's something for everyone. Why not stay in a stunning hotel or hire a private chalet and experience all that this lovely country has to offer.
Whether you're combining your wedding with a ski break or enjoying the Summer activities, one place you really must visit is the Schiltorn and Piz Gloria, which is a revolving restaurant that was the location for the James Bond movie “On Her Majesty's Secret Service”. You can have breakfast or lunch whilst admiring the stunning 360º panoramic view. If you're feeling particularly brave, you can actually step outside and walk around the edge of this gigantic mountain. With flights from South Africa taking little more than 14 hours, you won't have to wait too long to start your adventures. A trip to the area around Lake Geneva is very popular and ideal for nature lovers. There are also several cultural museums and archaeological sites in the area with Chillon Castle being one not to miss. Wherever you spend your honeymoon in Switzerland, you'll come away with enough memories to last a lifetime.
