Snow-capped mountains, lake views and enchanting castles await the winner of this prize of a four-night break in Switzerland for two people. On the edge of Lake Geneva, Lausanne is one of the stops. Here, you’ll stay for two nights at the Beau-Rivage Palace, a grand, 19th-century lakefront property that’s home to a luxurious Guerlain Spa. The stay is on a B&B basis in a lake-view room, but on one of the nights you’ll also enjoy a La Côte tasting menu at PIC au Beau-Rivage Palace, the new restaurant from acclaimed chef Anne-Sophie Pic.
The second destination is Neuchâtel, on the edge of the lake of the same name. Your base here will be Hôtel Palafitte, whose Shore Pavilion rooms offer unobstructed views of the water. Your two-night stay includes a buffet breakfast as well as a tasting-menu dinner at La Table du Palafitte.
While there are plenty of reasons you might be inclined to stay at the hotels and soak up the views, Travel Switzerland has provided a pair of Swiss Travel Passes that will give you the freedom to explore. The pass includes free entry to over 500 museums as well as free public transport in over 90 towns and cities in Switzerland. Return business class flights for two people with Swiss International Air Lines are included in the prize, too.
The winner must travel by November 27, 2025. The following blackout dates apply: Swiss public holidays and weekends from May to September; Sundays and Mondays (for stays at Beau-Rivage Palace Hotel).
