1. Zermatt
Ā
This is no doubt the most famous romantic spot in the Swiss Alps to propose, and there are plenty of good reasons we love it too. A mountain village dominated by the mighty view of the Matterhorn with beautiful alpine lakes, picturesque chalets, and so many possibilities to indulge in luxury, what’s not to like? If you both love hiking, skiing, and nature, but also the comfort of a 5-star hotel this might be the perfect place for you. Just imagine proposing to your loved one on a snowy day with the majestic view of The Matterhornā¦ It must be breathtaking.Ā
Our proposal idea: If you’re looking for excitement, we can arrange for you a helicopter tour withĀ Tour hĆ©licoptĆØre Zermatt, so you can pop the question in the sky! If you want something extra and indulge in the luxurious life, consider staying at one of the top hotels in Zermatt Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, where we can fix you elegant suites and a gourmet restaurant experience, all within the marvelous mountain charm of Zermatt.
EXTRA SPOT: Winery Proposal.
Another fantastic idea to consider for summer or fall proposals is to propose at a winery or vineyard. We can arrange an elegant wine bar in Zermatt, perfect private events at Vinotheke Divine. It can become the ideal location for a luxury proposal as it can be very intimate and unique, with delicious wines everywhere around you! For the second part of the evening, we can also organize a private tour and a surprise picnic. And as a final touch, why not incorporate the wine you enjoyed the most by asking the vineyard’s team to engrave a special message on a bottle. We love these personal touches that we can keep with us forever!Ā
2. Interlaken
Still wondering where to propose in Switzerland? The traditional holiday town of Interlaken has one of the most breathtaking vistas in the country. Built on a thin belt of the valley amongst the jade waters of Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, with old log houses and green areas on both sides of the River Aare. The mountains around, covered with thick forests, alpine grasslands, and glaciers, are home to numerous hiking trails and ski runs, making this place an ideal setting for nature lovers.
Ā
Our proposal ideas: A cruise from lake Thun can be very romantic. You can enjoy the spectacular view of the green meadows, the majestic forests, and the eternally white peaks of the Eiger, Mƶnch, and Jungfrau mountainsā¦ if that’s what you are looking for we can also arrange a wonderful tour with our personal favorite in the area: BLS Connects. They offer excellent accommodations and much more. If you want an even better view, consider taking your loved one up to the Harder, the funicular of 1,322 mts. of altitude offers an impressionist view of the alps. On the other hand, you might be looking for something more adventurous. If that’s the case, consider one of the endless walks, climbs, and outdoor excursions that Interlaken has to offer; tell us about it, and we’ll make it happen.
Ā
TIP: If you are planning an outdoor day proposal, consider that we have the most beautiful lightning of the day during the sunrise and sunset. Make sure of the exact time the sun goes up or down that specific day, and pop the question to your other half bathed in golden light.

3. LucerneĀ

Imagine getting onto one knee surrounded by a deep blue lake in front of white peaked mountains in a medieval old town.ā¦ breathtaking! And that’s only one of the possibilities Lucerne has to offer. The well-preserved medieval town doesn’t just have elegant historic buildings but also offers beautiful views, lake cruises, and outstanding musical events. Lucerne is ranked among the prettiest cities in the world, making it the perfect place to start the first chapter of your love story.
The famous KapellbrĆ¼cke or Chapel Bridge, is probably one of the main reasons for Lucern’s fame. And for good reason. More than just a beautiful bridge, it is the oldest walk-by bridge made of wood in Europe and also the oldest existing bracket bridge in the world! Amazing, right? But Lucerne also deserves its fame for other reasons: The majestic Mount Pilatus with its awe-inspiring view, the famous Glacier Garden, and the city’s iconic Musegg wall. Overall, Lucerne is a magnificent city to visit with plenty of opportunities to pop the question you are waiting to ask, while you are on the move sightseeing.Ā
Our proposal ideas: You can take your loved one up to Mount Pilatus and propose in front of one of the most amazing views of Switzerland. If you’re looking for something more luxurious, the Ā Hotel ChĆ¢teau GĆ¼tsch is your best option!

4.Chateau de Chillon, MontreuxĀ
Near Montreux, we find the Chateau de Chillon (Chillon Castle), which stands majestically on the shores of Lake Geneva. This historical monument has inspired artists and writers for centuries, among them Victor Hugo and Jean-Jaques Rousseau. Visiting the Chateau de Chillon is a unique experience; inside the castle rooms, we can find a variety of artworks and furniture that go back to the twelfth century, and that’s not it! From the top of the dungeons, we can enjoy beautiful views of Lake Geneva, Montreux, and the Alps. Imagine being there when the sun starts to go down, surrounded by the romantic medieval charm of the castle before you say: Will you marry me?ā¦ The singular beauty of Chateau de Chillon makes it a magnificent place to pop the question to your other half.
Our proposal ideas: We can help you organize a private tour so you two can enjoy the medieval charm of the castle in privacy. If instead of popping the question on top of the court, you would rather have a private dinner at the Castle Bar, with Chillon we can arrange all the details necessary to make your evening extra special.Ā
5. Guarda
In the heart of the Engadin, every village along the way brings its own charm. But this small picturesque village captured our hearts. You can feel its fairy-tale magic as soon as you arrive! The impressionist views of Lower Engadine and the Swiss Alps, the decorated houses, the flowers, the cobbled-stone streetsā¦ everything creates a peaceful and dreamy atmosphere.Ā
In winter, Guarda becomes an exciting place for nature lovers if you are thinking of proposing during this season. There are sledge tracks, skating rinks and cross-country ski trails. So many activities might create the perfect proposal scenario. Adventurous or not, there is no doubt you can find the perfect spot for your dream proposal in Guarda; its sheer beauty and picturesque architecture can not be underestimated. Don’t forget that it was awarded the Wakker Prize for the preservation of its architectural heritage in 1975. Pretty cool, right?!
Our Proposal ideas: You can propose in one of its open spaces where you both can enjoy a beautiful view. Otherwise, we can arrange a personalized VIP dinner at the Hotel Meisser for you two. If you are looking for an even more complete experience, we can organize your spot at the special retreat for couples “Romantica” which offers the best suites of the hotel, breakfast buffet, gourmet dinner at the panorama-restaurant, spa, massages, and beautiful open gardens.
