How To Do The Alps In Style

It’s one of the most beautiful parts of the world. And one of the most exclusive. The Alps are home to some of the most iconic and fabulously wealthy countries in the world. Spanning Switzerland, France, Austria, and Northern Italy, the Alpine region is a cultural crossroads. If you’re going to the Alps, make sure you do it in style.

There are so many exciting experiences to take part in while visiting the Alps. Whether you are looking to hit the slopes, sip on some cocoa in a fancy chalet, or wander around the surrounding villages, you’ll be sure to find something to accommodate your preference. While visiting the Alps, consider trying some of the following activities to make the most of your time.

Visit Geneva

Lake Geneva

First stop, Geneva. On the banks of Lac Leman, this city hosts some of the world’s finest fashion and jewelry dealers.

If you take a walk down what we might call the high street there, you’ll have quite an experience. All the shops have armed guards standing in the doors watching your every move. If you ever walk down there, past jewelry shop after jewelry shop, you’ll begin to understand why. The rocks in the window are truly enormous.

If you’re feeling brave, go and have a closer look. Most of them are so exclusive they don’t have price tags. It wouldn’t be unusual, however, to see one for sale for 800,000 euros. And when some of them take over one thousand hours to make, all by hand, you can start to understand why.

It’s this sort of exclusivity that draws people to Geneva. Nobody in the world can compete with the sheer audacity of the jewelry there. It’s something quite remarkable and worth checking out, even if it is a touch out of your price range.

Stay In A Luxury Chalet

If you’re planning on going skiing this season, while the snow is still on the ground, nothing compares to staying in your very own chalet. If you haven’t experienced it before, it is something you should try. Nothing quite compares to that smell of pine when you first walk in. It’s one of the most comforting things in the world.
