Trip Itinerary:
We kindly ask for your understanding that the final tour itinerary including our detailed recommendations can only be provided after your confirmation and down payment.
Day 1: Arrival in Zurich
We will organize a private transfer to your hotel for a short rest after your long flight.
Your hotel is situated conveniently close to the famous Bahnhofstrasse in the heart of Zurich's Old Town. Your guide will meet you at your hotel and invite you for a city stroll through Zurich.
Day 2: Zurich → Toggenburg
You will leave Switzerland's biggest city behind you and head up north to Europe's biggest waterfall - the Rhine Falls. By boat, you get on the Rock in the middle of the falls to understand the power of this natural spectacle.
For lunch, we will stop in St. Gallen to discover the UNESCO world heritage Abbey district of St. Gallen. Its magnificent Baroque cathedral forms a unique historical ensemble. The Abbey Library - with Switzerland's most beautiful hall and ancient books will fascinate you.
To round up the day we take you to an area which we would call "real" Switzerland - the beautiful Toggenburg. Off the beaten tracks for international travelers, it is an absolute hidden gem in the middle of the Alpstein mountains.
Your hotel will be at the foot of the magnificent Churfirsten mountains surrounded by farmers and next by a beautiful alpine lake.
Day 3: Toggenburg → Engadin:
You will not want to leave the lovely Toggenburg, but the drive into the Engadin valley valley will make that up. Before we will follow the Rhine valley, where several longer and shorter stops are possible, such as the castle of Vaduz in Liechtenstein and/or an excursion to Lake Walen with Switzerland's highest waterfall.
2 nights in Engadin
Day 4: Engadin
The Engadin Valley is a true nature and outdoor paradise. St. Moritz was not without reason the birthplace for winter tourism and hosted the Winter Olympics twice. Despite its cosmopolitan atmosphere, it is the culture and tradition of this luxurious Alpine resort that has made it what it is today.
Your guide will take you on a train ride on the Bernina tracks to Alp Grüm. Offering breathtaking views on the surrounding peaks, glaciers and Italy this UNESCO world heritage doesn't leave any wishes open.
To round up the day your guide will take you on a short hike, depending on your preferred theme (glaciers, legends, or other).
Day5: Engadin → Zermatt
Today we will add another highlight to your travel memories: The famous Glacier Express train ride. Over its entire length, the Glacier Express leads over 291 bridges and through 91 tunnels over the Swiss Alps.
On your trip from St Moritz, the train winds its way through remote valleys, past sheer rock faces, idyllic mountain villages, over the Landwasser Viaduct and through the Rhine Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Switzerland.
You can sit back and relax - your guide will take care of your luggage and will pick you up again in Zermatt.
Day 6: Zermatt → Montreux
You will have the chance to discover Zermatt on the foot of Switzerland's natural landmark - the Matterhorn.
Optional: Not close enough? Take up the cable car to the Glacier Paradise, at Europe's highest cable car station (3883 meters). One of the highlights is certainly the platform with a view over 38 four-thousand-meter peaks and 14 glaciers of the Swiss, Italian and French Alps.
Lastly, we will leave the mountain resorts behind us to get to Lake Geneva and the Montreux Riviera at the shore of Lake Geneva.
Day 7: Montreux → Interlaken
2 routes will be possible today: Food or Cultural Route
Food:
From Montreux, it is only a short ride to the medieval town of Gruyère. Home of the famous Gruyère AOP cheese you can visit the official cheese factory and/or one of the many alpine cheese manufacturers and learn how cheese is made in alpine regions for centuries. Preserve some appetite because the Caillier chocolate factory is not far away. Go on an insightful and delicious tour through one of Switzerland's biggest chocolate factories.
Cultural:
The bear is not only the symbol of this canton, bears actually live in Switzerland's capital Bern. Many museums, as well as the beautiful old town, are awaiting you and invite you to stroll around. Go on a tour through parliament and learn more about Switzerland's direct democracy.
2 Nights in Interlaken
Day 8: Interlaken Region
This area has so much to offer so we added on more day here. You can decide on the day itself how you would like to spend it.
Optional: Jungfraujoch - this experience will take your breath away. The view on the Alps' largest glacier - the Aletsch, as well as the surrounding four thousand meter peaks can only be described as stunning. Standing in the snow on the Jungfraujoch 3,454 meters above sea level, you can feel it from your first step: this is a different world.
Alternatively, your guide can show you the Kander valley with its many waterfalls, lake Oeschinen as well as the famous crystal blue Blausee lake.
Day 9: Interlaken → Lucerne:
Before arriving in Lucerne we would like to show you something special: The Glasi Hergiswil is the only remaining glasswork in Switzerland where glass is still blown and shaped by hand. Discover how glass is manufactured and watch the glassblowers work with your own eyes. You will have time to explore the city of Lucerne and enjoying a boat ride on the picturesque lake.
Early bird suggestion: Go on a little detour and explore the Aare gorge.
Optional: If you would like to add another mountain to your resumée, we could explore Mount Titlis.
Day 10: Lucerne → Zurich Airport:
If your time of departure permits wecan add a stop at one of Switzerland's most picturesque caves - the Höll Grotten.
Your guide will bring you back to Zurich Airport on time where we will leave you with many good memories from this alpine paradise.
