Mannerheimin jalanjäljille Sveitsiin, Puolaan ja Portugaliin

Suomen marsalkka C. G. E. Mannerheim asui vaiherikkaan uransa ja pitkän elämänsä aikana ulkomailla mm. Puolassa, Sveitsissä ja Portugalissa. Marskin Matkat tarjoavat mahdollisuuden nähdä ja kokea jotain siitä kadonneesta maailmasta, jossa marsalkka viihtyi. Ryhmämatkamme vievät Sveitsiin Montreux-nimiseen kaupunkiin Geneve-järven rannalla, Puolassa Varsovaan ja sen ympäristöön sekä Portugaliin Atlantin äärelle, Euroopan läntisimmälle reunalle.

Ensiluokkaiset hotellit, matkaohjelma kiinnostavine vierailukohteineen, asiantuntevat oppaat ja kiireetön tunnelma sekä maistuvat ateriat ovat matkojemme tavaramerkkejä. Valmiiden matkapakettiemme lisäksi räätälöimme tarvittaessa ryhmällenne omannäköisen kokonaisuuden valitun teeman pohjalta.

Baron Carl Gustaf Mannerheim (1867-1951) Marshal of Finland

Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim was a distinguished soldier and statesman who served twice as Head of State of the Republic of Finland (1918–1919 and 1944–1946). He pursued an exceptional career and is remembered as one of the most significant figures in Finnish history.

Mannerheim served as Commander-in-Chief of the Finnish Army during three wars (1918; 1939–1940; and 1941–1944) fought against the vastly superior forces of the Soviet Union. His leadership earned him profound admiration and respect not only among the Finnish people but also internationally, including in Switzerland.

During the final three years of his life, Mannerheim resided in the village of Glion-sur-Montreux in Switzerland, where he dictated his memoirs. In 1955, Switzerland unveiled a memorial in Montreux to commemorate Mannerheim and his role as a unifying force in Finland following independence.

In his early career, prior to the First World War, when Finland was still part of the Russian Empire, Mannerheim served for several years (1889–1891 and 1911–1914) in the Imperial Russian Army in Poland. In 1945, while serving as President, he spent several weeks in Portugal recovering from ill health.
