Throughout April, the Swiss tourist board is providing a taste of its hospitality at London's iconic department store, Harrods.

The Swiss are also taking over Harrods’ famous window displays and are providing customers with the chance to meet representatives from many of Switzerland's regions, including Engadin-St Moritz, Lucerne and Zurich as well as experts from the Swiss Travel System.

This weekend only, Harrods will display a full size traditional Swiss chalet giving away samples of some wonderful Swiss delicacies, including Jura coffee, Gruyere cheese and Lindt chocolate – all to the sound of traditional Swiss music. In addition, every visitor to the chalet will receive a voucher for free upgrades on travel throughout Switzerland.

Throughout April, My Switzerland (the Swiss Tourist Board) will be offering special discounts on a range of holidays in Switzerland to coincide with the Harrods displays. To see a full list of offers, see Switzerland at Harrods.

The 'Switzerland comes to Harrods' exhibition runs from 31 March to 30 April.
