For the summer season of 2026, Pierre & Vacances announces the opening of four new premium residences in Switzerland, located in various Alpine resorts.

In the Valais canton, two establishments will open in Val d’Anniviers: the Zinal residence, equipped notably with a restaurant, a gaming room and a children’s area, with access to mountain activities such as visiting the Zinal glacier, rock climbing, and mountain biking; and the Vercorin residence, which will offer a spa, a restaurant, and various activities such as paragliding or discovering the local wine heritage.

A third residence will be located at Thyon 4, in Val d’Hérens. It will notably include a restaurant with panoramic views and will provide access to a range of hiking and mountain-biking activities, as well as the spa at the Grands Bains d’Hérémence.

Finally, a fourth residence will open in Meiringen, in the canton of Bern, near the Sherlock Holmes museum and about twenty minutes from Interlaken.

Guests will also receive a guest card giving access to several local activities free of charge or at a reduced rate, such as the municipal swimming pool, mini-golf, tennis, or certain guided tours.


Make the Train the Gateway to the Swiss Alps

In parallel, the brand partners with TGV Lyria to promote a combined offering of rail transport and accommodation, with the aim of facilitating access to the Swiss Alps without a car.

This partnership takes place in a context where transportation accounts for nearly 70% of greenhouse gas emissions tied to vacations.

The two companies thus aim to encourage travelers to favor train travel to reach mountain destinations.

A subsidiary of SNCF Voyageurs and the Swiss Federal Railways, TGV Lyria connects Paris and Dijon year-round to several major Swiss cities, including Geneva, Lausanne, Basel and Zurich.

An additional summer link also connects Marseille to Geneva and Lausanne from April to October, with enhanced service in July and August.

“”With Pierre & Vacances, we concretely facilitate access to the Swiss Alps by combining low-carbon mobility and premium experience,” explains Éric Dehlinger, chief executive of TGV Lyria.

For Pierre & Vacances, this initiative is part of its strategy to develop mountain destinations accessible without a car. “The opening of Switzerland is a strategic milestone in our European development and strengthens our position as a leading actor in mountain travel“, notes Grégory Sion, the brand’s chief executive.

On the occasion of this launch, the two partners offer a joint promotion including -20% on stays in the Swiss residences and on TGV Lyria Standard class tickets. The promotion will be on sale from 16 to 31 March 2026, for trips and stays between 25 April and 12 December 2026.

IFTM TourMaG Party


International Workplace Group (IWG), global specialist in flexible workspaces, and TGV Lyria announce a partnership to enhance the working conditions of business travelers.

This collaboration gives rise to a new coworking offering designed for professionals on the move.

TGV Lyria customers will benefit from exclusive advantages in a selection of spaces operated by IWG, under the Regus, Spaces and Signature brands, located near major stations in France and Switzerland.

While, according to a 2020 INFRAS study, professionals can work during 83% of their train journey, thanks to a conducive and connected environment, the agreement between IWG and TGV Lyria aims to extend this experience by offering work solutions tailored from the moment you arrive at the station.

Present in more than 120 countries with nearly 4,000 sites, IWG deploys a network of modern workspaces near major transport hubs.

This network acts as a lever to meet the needs of the 5.7 million annual travelers using the 17 daily return services between Paris and the Swiss cities of Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich and Basel.


An offering integrated into the TGV Lyria service strategy

This partnership fits into the “New TGV Lyria Services” program, rolled out progressively since January 2025. It aims to provide a travel experience more fluid and coherent, from departure to arrival.

Concretely, TGV Lyria travelers benefit from specific advantages in IWG spaces on the day of their journey. First Signature clients enjoy one hour free in certain spaces, as well as a discount on additional hours.

Travelers in First and Standard classes have access to discounts on day offices, coworking spaces, meeting rooms and subscriptions, upon presenting their ticket.

Reservations are made through a dedicated platform, with on-site teams providing support.

Several sites are involved, notably in Paris, near the Lyon station, as well as in the main Swiss cities served by TGV Lyria, just a few minutes on foot from the stations.
