Ask Carolyn Your Swiss Travel Questions
Pick my brain about Switzerland
Do you have questions that are holding up your Swiss vacation planning? Would you like to know the pros and cons of travelling by train in Switzerland, or what weather conditions to expect? Would you like help choosing which mountain excursions to include in your Switzerland itinerary? I’m here to help!
Personal advice. Clear answers. Total peace of mind.
Planning a trip to Switzerland can feel overwhelming.
There are trains to book, towns to choose between, mountain excursions to compare, and endless online advice – much of it conflicting. You want to make the most of your time and budget, but you also want to feel confident that you’re planning the right trip for you.
That’s exactly what this 30-minute online consultation is designed to do.
In a focused, one-on-one session, you’ll have direct access to my Switzerland travel expertise, so you can ask your questions, confirm your plans, and move forward with confidence.
Who an Ask Carolyn call is perfect for
This service is ideal if you:
Are planning your first trip to Switzerland, or are returning and would like to visit some lesser-known destinations.
Have already started planning but are unsure about your choices.
Are short on time and want expert answers without weeks of research.
Why book a call with me?
Switzerland is a destination that offers so much. But that choice can lead to overwhelm and confusion. That’s where I can help.
With over 35 years’ experience in Swiss travel and deep, on-the-ground knowledge, I help travellers avoid costly mistakes, and unnecessary stress.
My Swiss friends tell me that I have seen more of Switzerland than they have! They’re probably right.
Each year I visit Switzerland for at least a month and whilst I do have favourite places that I return to each year, I always add new destinations and experiences to every visit. I’m on a quest to see every inch of Switzerland.
With experience travelling around Switzerland by train, car and on a coach tour, I’ve covered all bases and I’m here to answer your Swiss travel questions. (Read more about me.)
After our call, you’ll walk away with practical, realistic and honest advice and information so you can plan your trip with confidence.

What we can cover in 30 minutes
You can ask me any* questions related to your upcoming Switzerland trip, including:
- Which towns and regions best suit your travel style
- What to expect when traveling by train in Switzerland
- What the different rail passes include
- Pros and cons of renting a car vs. using public transportation
- Mountain excursions – which ones to prioritise (and which to skip)
- Seasonal considerations and weather expectations
- How many nights to stay in each place
- Common mistakes first-time visitors make (and how to avoid them)
*Important notes: Only general information will be provided in answer to questions about choosing the best rail pass for your trip. Due to time limits, I won’t be able to do the calculations to determine the best rail pass for you. Our Switzerland Rail Pass Comparison Calculator can help with this. If you would like help with planning your Switzerland itinerary, see our separate Itinerary Planning service.
