Adventure through Europe with us and get a real backpacking experience as we navigate from Italy through Switzerland to Paris! Our approach is rooted in the classic backpacker strategy—get a rail pass, explore cities with various daily choices, and leave ourselves open to the spontaneous possibilities that every day brings. Our Older Teens trips are specially designed with older teens in mind. They are all about a hands-on approach to travel where we go beyond the casual tourist experience, take public transportation, and learn how life is in each place we visit. They provide a unique and carefully crafted itinerary that allows for more challenges and independence. We encourage teens on these trips to learn how to use a Eurail pass along with other handy travel skills so that they become confident and able to take on even more of the world in the future! This is one of our most popular Older Teens trips and combines a great mixture of classic European cities, mountain adventure, and Mediterranean beaches. Those looking to discover a nice mix of European cultures will love experiencing the best Italy, Switzerland, and France has to offer.

A Guide to Adventure Travel Abroad in Switzerland
Locations
Switzerland is a republic that is independent from the surrounding European Union, with 26 cantons sprawled out across its mountain landscape in the Alps. The country is bordered by France to the west, Germany to the north, Austria to the east, and Italy to the south; hence the most widely spoken languages in the country are French, German, and Italian. The southern reaches of Switzerland are more mountainous, and therefore less densely populated than the south.
The country’s two major cities, Geneva and Zurich, are both very popular destinations to visit during adventure travel in Switzerland. Zurich, capital of the German-speaking Zurich canton, is the largest city in Switzerland and a major global financial center. Geneva, where French is the dominant language, is Switzerland’s second-largest city and widely known for headquartering a breadth of international organizations, including the United Nations and Red Cross.
Both of these two major cities sit on lakes of their own namesake (Lake Geneva and Lake Zurich), and are also within easy travel of more remote destinations where you might go for outdoor activities during your adventure travel in Switzerland. Other popular destinations across the countryside include Bern, Lucerne, and Interlaken.
