BLPA Worldwide Switzerland Adult Hockey Tour: Where Alpine Views Meet Beer League Hockey
Join Hockey Travel Club by BLPA for an unforgettable adult hockey tour through Switzerland, combining three hockey games, some of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Alpine scenery, Swiss food, chocolate, lake cruises, and even a day trip into France.
This is not just a hockey tournament.
This is Zurich. Lucerne. The Swiss Alps. Lake Lucerne. Colmar. Local hockey. Team dinners. Free days to explore. And ten days experiencing one of the most beautiful countries in Europe.
We’ll start in Zurich, where the trip kicks off with a welcome dinner, a guided walking tour, the Lindt chocolate experience, and our first game against local competition.
Then we’ll head to Lucerne for mountain views, a cruise on Lake Lucerne, more hockey, more team nights, and time to actually slow down and enjoy Switzerland.
We’ll also cross the border for a day trip into the Alsace region of France, including Colmar, before returning to Switzerland for our final game.
This is adult hockey travel in Switzerland done the Hockey Travel Club way.
We handle the details.
You show up, play hockey, explore Europe, and enjoy the ride.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
3 Real Hockey Games in Switzerland
This is not a staged tourist hockey experience.
The goal is to put you on the ice against local players and give you a real feel for hockey culture in Switzerland.
The current plan includes:
- 3 games against local Swiss teams
- Multiple rink experiences
- Post-game team dinners
- Local opponents
- International beer league hockey
- The chance to experience Swiss hockey culture firsthand
You’re not flying all the way to Europe just to skate with the same group you came with.
We want you meeting local players, competing against them, and sharing a meal with them afterward.
That’s what makes these trips different.
Explore Zurich
Our Switzerland adult hockey tour begins in Zurich.
Switzerland’s largest city gives you a mix of old-world Europe, modern city life, lakefront scenery, restaurants, shopping, cafés, and nightlife.
The current itinerary includes:
- Guided walking tour of Zurich
- Historic Old Town
- Free time to explore
- Restaurants and cafés
- Shopping
- Lakefront neighborhoods
- Welcome dinner with the group
You’ll also have a full free day in Zurich to experience the city your own way.
No rushing.
No nonstop schedule.
Just time to actually be there.
Lindt Chocolate Experience
You cannot go to Switzerland without making room for chocolate.
The tour includes a visit to the Lindt Home of Chocolate, one of Zurich’s best-known attractions and an easy way to experience one of Switzerland’s most famous exports.
Expect:
- Swiss chocolate
- Interactive exhibits
- History of chocolate making
- Plenty of samples
- A very reasonable excuse to eat chocolate before a hockey game
There are worse ways to prepare for Game #1.
Lucerne & Lake Lucerne
After Zurich, we head to Lucerne, one of Switzerland’s most beautiful cities.
Lucerne sits between the lake and the mountains, with historic streets, waterfront views, bridges, cafés, and some of the best scenery on the entire trip.
The plan includes:
- Time in historic Lucerne
- Group cruise on Lake Lucerne
- Alpine views
- Free time in the city
- Group dinner
- Two hockey games during our stay
This part of the trip should feel slower, more scenic, and completely different from Zurich.
Exactly what we want.
Swiss Alps Experience
The mountains are a huge part of what makes Switzerland special.
You’ll have plenty of time surrounded by Alpine scenery, with opportunities to explore, relax, eat, shop, or head out on your own adventures during free time.
Expect:
- Mountain views
- Lakes
- Historic Swiss towns
- Alpine villages
- Scenic train and road views
- Outdoor activities
- Local restaurants
- Plenty of photo stops
The hockey gets you to Switzerland.
The scenery is what makes you wonder why you didn’t come sooner.
France & Alsace Day Trip
This trip also gives us the chance to add another country.
We’ll head across the border into the Alsace region of France for a day trip to Colmar.
Colmar looks like someone built a storybook town and forgot to make it less ridiculous.
Think:
- Colorful historic buildings
- Canals
- Cobblestone streets
- French cafés
- Alsatian food
- Wine
- Shops
- A completely different feel from Switzerland
After the day in France, we’ll return to Lucerne.
One trip.
Two countries.
Three hockey games.
Swiss Food, Drinks & Team Nights
Some of the best memories on these tours happen after the games.
Switzerland gives us plenty to work with.
Expect opportunities for:
- Swiss fondue
- Raclette
- Chocolate
- Local beer
- Wine
- Alpine restaurants
- Team dinners
- Post-game meals
- Cafés
- Random late-night stops that were definitely not on the itinerary
Hockey gets everyone together.
The nights after the games are usually where the stories come from.

WHY HOCKEY TRAVEL CLUB BY BLPA?
Built for Adult Hockey Players
This is not a generic European vacation with a hockey game dropped into the middle.
Hockey Travel Club is built for adult players who want to use the game as an excuse to experience more of the world.
Good hockey.
Local opponents.
Amazing destinations.
Great people.

Hockey + Travel Without the Hassle
We handle the major details, including:
- Hotels
- Ground transportation
- Hockey games
- Rink coordination
- Group activities
- Jerseys
- Tours
- Trip planning
You focus on Switzerland, hockey, food, mountains, and making the most of the trip.
We’ll worry about the logistics.
Structured Freedom
We don’t want international hockey travel to feel like a field trip.
There will be planned transportation, games, tours, meals, and group experiences.
There will also be plenty of free time.
Time to:
- Explore Zurich
- Wander Lucerne
- Grab a coffee
- Shop
- Find a restaurant
- Explore the lake
- Head into the mountains
- Relax
- Sleep in
- Recover from the night before
- Experience Switzerland your own way
The itinerary gives you structure.
The free time makes it your trip.
Zurich. Lucerne. The Alps. France.
One of the best parts of this tour is how much you get to experience in ten days.
You start in Zurich.
A few days later, you’re playing hockey after eating your way through the Lindt chocolate museum.
Then you’re cruising Lake Lucerne with the Alps in the background.
Then you cross into France for the day.
And somewhere in between all of that, you play three hockey games.
That’s exactly the kind of trip Hockey Travel Club is supposed to be.
An Adult Hockey Trip Through Switzerland
You’re not just visiting Switzerland.
You’re playing hockey there.
You’re meeting local players.
You’re exploring Zurich.
You’re cruising Lake Lucerne.
You’re waking up surrounded by the Swiss Alps.
You’re crossing into France for the day.
You’re eating with your teammates after games.
And somehow a beer league hockey trip turns into one of the best excuses you’ve ever had to see Europe.
