What to expect
Zurich
Your guide will meet you right at your hotel in Zurich and get you settled in for the day. This is a private trip, so everything will move at your pace.
Brunnen
We’ll head into the hills above the lake to a peaceful village with stunning panoramic views. It’s the kind of spot locals love, quiet, authentic, and with postcard-perfect scenery. You’ll get your first real taste of the Alps here.
Next, we visit a village on the shores of Lake Lucerne where the air feels lighter, and the vibe is almost Mediterranean. Picture palm trees, vineyards, and alpine peaks rising in the background. Perfect for a slow walk and scenic photos.
Altdorf
Step back in time as we visit a small Swiss village tied to one of the country’s most famous legends, William Tell. The cobblestone streets, centuries-old buildings, and charming local church feel like a living history book.
Canton of Uri
As we head toward the Klausen Pass, we’ll make scenic stops at rivers, valleys, and hidden viewpoints. If you're up for a light hike, we’ll take you to a tucked-away mountain village we absolutely love, worth every step for the views alone.
Klausenpass
We’ll drive one of Switzerland’s most scenic mountain roads, with plenty of stops to admire the views and visit a small alpine dairy. If the weather allows, you’ll enjoy a traditional cheese experience picnic fondue/raclette surrounded by grazing cows and mountain silence.
Glarus
Tucked into a remote valley in the UNESCO-listed Glarus region, this waterfall is a true gem you can even walk behind it and feel the cool mist while surrounded by cliffs and lush alpine greenery.
Bilten
Before heading back, we make one last sweet stop at a local chocolate shop known for high-quality Swiss treats. Stock up on gifts or indulge in a tasting, you’ve earned it.
As we return to Zurich, you’ll enjoy peaceful views along the lakeshore, ending the day relaxed, full of stories, and maybe a little chocolate.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
