Product Information

The world’s largest contemporary art fair has been held since 1970 in the city but has expanded over the years to include annual stagings in Miami Beach (since 2022) and Hong Kong (2013), garnering a global reputation for the prestigious forum. Designed to spotlight the top artists of the time and provide a platform for them to sell their works, which can range from paintings to digital art and full-fledged installations, the fair is the city’s signature event and the foundation of Basel’s reputation as a city of art and cultural capital in Europe. At this year’s event in September, 33 countries were represented in 272 galleries; next year, the fair is scheduled for June 16 to 19. The big one everyone is eager to do once (and with good reason) is the Glacier Express, which crosses over the Furka, Oberalp and Bernina passes on the eight-hour ride between Zermatt and St Moritz in Graubünden’s Upper Engadin. Riveting views of meadows, forests, fast-flowing turquoise rivers, canyons, castles, big-shouldered mountains and glaciers keep you glued to the window. The entire journey is a remarkable feat of 1930s engineering, but special mention goes to the Landwasser viaduct – the gravity-defying six-arched bridge that leaps between Tiefencastel and Filisur, and the Oberalp Pass (2033m/6670ft), harnessing the true wilderness of the Swiss Alps. Planning tip: Reaching the glacier is part of the fun. From Fiesch, take the cable car up to Fiescheralp, then beyond to Eggishorn for your first glimpse of the mighty Aletsch. 12. Walk among vines in Lavaux

To use, simply dump all your gear inside the main compartment the way you would any regular dry bag. If you don’t want to walk around with a balloon-like bag, then use it like a tote with the top left open while you carry it to the water. Before hitting the water, though, you’re going to want to prepare the bag to float, at which point you’re supposed to let air in, then roll up the tail of the bag seven times to seal it. From there, your dry bag has transformed into a functional float that should stay on the water’s surface the entire time. At the point where Switzerland, Germany and France converge in the north, Basel dives into creative waters when it comes to avant-garde art and architecture, with a raft of galleries right up there with Europe’s best. But this city also likes to let its mind drift. There’s nowhere like Europe at Christmas time and Basel is no exception. The city’s Christmas market, the oldest in the country, is suitably located in the old town’s most picturesque square at Barfusserplatz and Munsterplazt and typically features close to 200 booths exhibiting goods from craft and culinary artisans from around the Basel region. Christmas tours and events also take place and visitors can engage in a local tradition by signing the Basel Wish Book at the town hall. This year, the market starts tomorrow (Nov. 25) and continues until Dec. 23. For many, “the most special moment” in Basel is Carnival, a centuries-old annual festival so ingrained in the consciousness and identity of the city that it has earned recognition on UNESCO’s intangible cultural list. Our Air Canada Race team was invited to watch school kids practice their drumming and fifing chops at practice, months ahead of the Feb.-March festival. Delightfully teetering between organization and chaos, costumed revellers “go wild” for three days – it always begins the Monday after Ash Wednesday – though Carnival is a decidedly family-friendly amalgamation of parades, music, and food. After being cancelled for the past two years, Carnival is set to return March 7-9, pandemic permitting.

Before hitting the caveaux (wine cellars) for a petite dégustation (tasting), brush up your wine knowledge. It’s said that these grapes are blessed by three suns: the one in the sky, the one on the lake and the one radiating heat from the dry-stone walls. The main grape is Chasselas, a very old variety producing crisp, flinty white wines with a fresh, citrusy nose. The fruity reds (Gamay, Pinot noir and Salvagnin) make up just 20% of production. Planning tip : If you want to save a few francs, regularly scheduled services plying the same route can be just as enjoyable and significantly less expensive. Break up the journey by using cheaper SBB trains and overnighting along the way. 4. Hike in the Swiss National Park
