Switzerland with a distinctive Italian flavour

‘Free night’ deals in a selection of picturesque Swiss resorts - including the beautiful town of Poschiavo at the base of the Alps and close to the Italian border - are being featured this summer by the Switzerland Travel Centre.

This special deal - seven-nights-for-the-price-of-five, worth up to £90 - applies to the three-star Minotel Suisse Hotel between 1 June and 15 October and means a week's holiday now costs from £436 per person (twin share) inclusive of return flights from London City, rail transfers and accommodation with breakfast.

The medieval town, with its distinctive Italian flavour, is home to historic buildings and elegant mansions, along with piazzas and squares where visitors can soak up the sun in the cafes and bars.

Lovers of the great outdoors can enjoy walking, cycling, riding, fishing and swimming in the surrounding countryside of forests, lakes and snow-capped peaks or climb aboard the Rhaetian railway for some of the finest rail journeys in Switzerland.
