How Swiss Activities works

Two pillars: supply and demand

We bring both sides together. Suppliers contribute their experiences, we make them bookable – and put them where guests plan and book.

Supply

Six hubs, from mountain railways to boat trips – with availability and prices straight from the supplier's reservation system.

  • Mountain Railways
  • Transport
  • Tours & Experiences
  • Ski Schools
  • Attractions
  • Boat Trips

Swiss Activities

The marketplace in between: one catalogue, one connection, one contract.

  • Content in 30 languages
  • 15 reservation systems
  • Payment and payout
  • Customer service
  • Partner Portal and Supplier App

Demand

Guests from Switzerland and abroad, booking through our own channels and those of our distribution partners.

  • Website
  • App
  • Alpi
  • Booking platforms
  • Travel agencies
  • Affiliates

The supply

Six hubs – each with what guests want to know there

A mountain railway needs opening hours, a ski school needs course dates and meeting points, a tour needs start times and languages. That's why our supply is organised in hubs. You maintain text and images in the Partner Portal, while availability and prices come live from your reservation system.

For suppliers

Why suppliers grow with us

You bring your offering, we take care of visibility, booking and distribution – with no fixed costs.

  • No fixed costs

    No base fee, no setup costs. You pay a commission per booking referred – our list price is 18% + CHF 0.30 excl. VAT.

  • Visibility

    Your offering appears on the website in 30 languages, in the app, with Alpi, in Google Search and with our distribution partners.

  • Bookings, not clicks

    Guests book and pay with us. You receive confirmed bookings with real tickets – with a connected system, directly into your reservation system.

  • New customers

    83% of our guests come from abroad – people who would barely find you without us.

  • One contract, one network

    With a single contract, you're also included with our resellers in Switzerland and abroad – without separate negotiations.

  • Technology and service included

    Connection to your reservation system, product copy from our content team, customer service for your guests, and the Supplier App for scanning tickets at entry.

Your sales strategy

Wholesale or Channel Management – you decide

Two ways to sell your offering through distribution partners – and you can combine both: Wholesale for our network, Channel Management for channels you already have a contract with.

Wholesale

We represent you in distribution

We take on your products and place them, representing you, with resellers in Switzerland and abroad – under our contracts.

  1. You
  2. Swiss Activities
  3. Resellers in Switzerland and abroad
  • One contract and one settlement – with us
  • We connect and manage the resellers
  • Sale at agreed net prices

A good fit if you want reach without negotiating channel contracts yourself.

Channel Management

Your contract, your terms

Classic Channel Management: you have your own agreement with a channel and set your pricing there yourself. We provide the technical connection.

  1. You
  2. Connection via Swiss Activities
  3. Your contract partner
  • Your own commission or net prices per channel – down to the individual offering
  • The money flows directly between you and the channel
  • For the connection, we charge a fee per booking

A good fit if you already have contracts with channels and negotiate your own terms.

The demand

We bring the guests – from Switzerland and from over 140 countries

In 2025, our bookings more than doubled. We invest continuously in reach that a single supplier could hardly build alone: search, Google, the app, Alpi and a network of distribution partners in Switzerland and abroad.

Frequently asked questions

What does working with Swiss Activities cost?

There are no fixed costs and no base fee. For every booking referred, you pay a commission: our list price is 18% + CHF 0.30 excl. VAT. Suppliers with high volume or exclusive inventory get different rates – these are set out in your contract.

Who can become a supplier at Swiss Activities?

Anyone offering leisure activities in Switzerland, or as a day trip from Switzerland: mountain railways, transport companies, tours and experiences, ski schools, attractions and boat trips.

Which reservation systems are connected?

Currently 15: Axess, SKIDATA, Waldhart, SECUTIX, Experience Bank, SBB, n-tree, TourCMS, FareHarbor, Ventrata, Bókun, Regiondo, Rezdy, bookingkit and e-guma. Availability and bookings run live through your system, and guests receive real tickets instead of vouchers.

I don't have a reservation system – is that still possible?

Yes. We record times, allotments and prices for you. You receive bookings by email and in the Partner Portal, where you can block off individual days yourself.

How quickly are my offerings online?

After registration, we record your offerings and write the product copy. They are usually bookable within two weeks.

Do I set my own prices?

Yes. On our own channels – website, app and Alpi – guests pay the same price as booking directly with you. In Wholesale, resellers buy at agreed net prices and set their own final price. In Channel Management, you set your terms per channel.

What's the difference between Wholesale and Channel Management?

In Wholesale, we take on your products and place them with resellers under our contracts; you have a single settlement with us. In Channel Management, you have your own contract with the channel, the money flows directly between you, and we charge a fee per booking for the connection.

Who can become a distribution partner?

Anyone who brings Swiss experiences to their customers: booking platforms, tour operators, travel agencies and DMCs, tourism organisations, hotels and businesses, as well as affiliates with a blog, website or social media.

What is the Leisure Link API?

Swiss Activities' booking interface for platforms and travel systems: content in 30 languages, availability and reservation live from the supplier's system, booking on invoice, cancellation and tickets. You get access after signing the contract.

When do I get paid, and can I cancel?

We settle monthly for the previous month's services and pay out within 30 days. You can end the collaboration at any time with 30 days' notice.
