The Swiss Activities birthday voucher is the perfect gift when you can't decide between adventure and relaxation. The recipient picks the experience themselves – paragliding, wellness, sledging, chocolate tour. Last-minute friendly (instant email), valid 2 years and free to cancel up to 24 h before on many experiences.

The trick with a birthday voucher: it fits every year of birth. For some it becomes a tandem flight, for others a spa day or a lake cruise with the family. You only set the amount – between CHF 20 and CHF 3'000 – and the birthday person picks their own experience.

Insider tips for the birthday voucher

What most people get wrong with birthday experiences.

Match the experience to their age

Adrenaline (paragliding, bungee) for 20–40. Indulgence (spa, fine food) for 40–60. Culture and panoramic railways for 60+. A value voucher when in doubt.

Plan group experiences four weeks ahead

Escape rooms, cooking classes and boat trips for groups of four or more need booking four weeks ahead – otherwise only the leftover slots remain.

Give two vouchers instead of one big one

For couples: 2 × CHF 150 feels more generous than 1 × CHF 300 (a psychological effect). And both can choose independently.

Outdoor birthdays: mind the weather clause

Paragliding, bungee jumping and balloon rides need clear skies. A value voucher lets you move the date without any stress – fixed activity tickets often don't.

Personalising pays off

A handwritten dedication on the voucher means more than CHF 50 in extra value. Take five minutes for three personal sentences.

How much does a birthday experience gift cost?

The experiences on this page start from CHF 8; around half cost less than CHF 35. That covers every budget – from a small gesture to the grand coup with a tandem flight.

Frequently asked questions

Which experience suits which age?
Rule of thumb: adrenaline like paragliding or canyoning pulls strongest between 20 and 40, indulgence and wellness from 40, panoramic railways and culture from 60. Unsure? The value voucher keeps every path open.
The party is tomorrow – am I still in time?
Yes. The voucher arrives within minutes as a PDF by e-mail: print it, slip it into a card or load it onto your phone – gift done.
We're celebrating with a group – anything to watch?
Escape rooms, cooking classes and group cruises are popular and book out fast from 4 people – plan about 4 weeks ahead. The voucher stays flexible, only the date needs a head start.
What do I give a couple for their birthday?
Two vouchers instead of one big one: each can choose independently – or they pool the amounts for one shared experience. Both work with the same voucher.
Are there ideas specifically for him or for her?
Yes, each with its own selection: gifts for men from tandem flights to canyoning, gifts for women from spa days to tastings. For two, there are experiences for couples.
