Three new summer holiday destinations: Bergen, Bilbao and Cork
Between seven mountains and the sea, the charming city of Bergen lies in a sheltered bay in southwest Norway. Bergen is ideally situated between Norway’s two largest fjords, which are breathtaking places to visit. It is also rumoured that one of the most beautiful sea voyages in the world starts here. Edelweiss will be flying to Bergen up to twice a week from 1 June.
Modern buildings, renowned architecture and excellent gastronomy. Bilbao in Spain offers all this and much more. Around Bilbao, the varied natural scenery leaves nothing to be desired: high mountains, dense forests and a very green coastline. From 27 March, Edelweiss will be flying up to three times a week from Zurich to the Spanish city.
With Cork, Edelweiss is offering a holiday destination in Ireland for the first time. Situated in the southwest, the lively little town is the ideal starting point for exploring this enchanting area of southern Ireland with all its facets. Whether on a day trip, a tour of Southern Ireland or various sporting activities such as golf. Flights to Cork will start on 15 April, up to twice a week.
