Activity beats wellness for 80% of dads
Men would rather do something than relax. A mountain hike, workshop or flight works better than a spa day.
The Father's Day voucher covers the full spectrum that Swiss dads truly love: from helicopter tours over the Alps to quiet mountain hikes, vintage car experiences and whisky tastings in the Emmental. Flexible to redeem, valid 2 years.
Instead of the umpteenth tie: a day Dad shapes himself. Some are drawn to a summit or the climbing wall, others to a grill workshop or a tasting. You give the frame, he fills it – and if you come along, the gift becomes a shared day.

Insider tips for Father's Day
Gifts for men work differently – here's what to know.
Father's Day in Switzerland = first Sunday in June
Not to be confused with Germany and Austria (May). Plan early – Father's Day activities in early June sell out fast.
Group gift: club together with your siblings
Instead of a CHF 100 voucher, put CHF 400 together as a whole family for a real highlight (a helicopter flight).
Combine it with a father-son/daughter day
Father's Day is extra special when you come along. Give 2 tickets (for him and you) rather than a solo experience.
How much does a Father's Day gift cost?
The experiences on this page start from CHF 5; around half cost less than CHF 41. For the big highlight, siblings pool best – for the shared day for two, double the amount.

Frequently asked questions
When is Father's Day in Switzerland?
On the first Sunday of June – not in May as in Germany or Austria. Activities around that weekend book out fast; the voucher sidesteps it because Dad picks his date freely.
Wellness or activity – what lands with fathers?
Experience says: doing beats relaxing. A mountain tour, workshop or flight works better for most fathers than a spa day – exactly what the selection on this page is built for.
Can we pool for one big experience?
Yes – rather one shared voucher for the real highlight, say a scenic flight, than a small one per child. One amount, one dedication from everyone, one unforgettable day.
Can I redeem the experience together with Dad?
Absolutely – that's half the gift's value. Choose the amount for two and write in the dedication that you're coming along: father-son or father-daughter day included.
How long is a Swiss Activities experience voucher valid?
Our experience vouchers are valid for 2 years from purchase and can be extended free of charge.
Which activities can the voucher be redeemed for?

You receive the voucher instantly as a PDF by email (Print@Home). On request we also send the voucher in elegant packaging by post.
Can I personalise the voucher?
Yes. You can add the recipient's name, your name and a personal message (up to 160 characters) on the voucher.
What amounts are available?
Amounts range from CHF 20 to CHF 3,000. Standard values are CHF 50, 100, 200 or 500 – or pick any amount within that range.
Which payment methods are accepted?
You pay with TWINT, credit card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay or Klarna — including pay-by-invoice via Klarna. All payments are processed in CHF.
