Swiss Countryside Experience
Cultural Experience, Nature & Wildlife, Tip - What to See & Do, Mountain, Park / Garden
Away from its big cities, Switzerland remains a country of jaw-dropping mountain vistas and cherished rural traditions. You won't have to venture far from urban boundaries to plunge into another world. Leave the city pleasures of Zurich behind and discover the country's bucolic bliss on the Switzerland Countryside and Traditions Tour. Take a look through historic churches, castles and museums, taste some world-famous chocolate and cheese, or just lose yourself in ancient streets and glittering boutiques.
Switzerland remains a tempting destination for cheese-lovers and chocaholics. Here they can indulge their passions to their hearts' content. The Switzerland Mountain Cheese and Chocolate tour from Zurich lets you sample local cheese and chocolate. You can work up another appetite by walking the streets of villages and catch an aerial cable car over Swiss Alpine peaks for a wrap-around view of eastern Switzerland's Heidi country.
Switzerland's alpine delights are never far from its urban hubs.
Towering Mount Rigi, situated in the heart of the Swiss Alps, is easily
accessible on a day tour from Zurich. Leave town in the morning and by
lunchtime you'll be seated on the sun terrace taking in the mountain
air, gazing out across snow-capped Alps and the picturesque Lake Lucerne
below.
Board Europe's first ever cog-wheel train from Weggis to
the summit of what locals call the Queen of the Mountains. At 6000 feet
(1800 meters), you'll feel as though you're on top of the world. Don't
miss the short walk to the mountain's peak for that breathtaking,
top-of-the-world feeling. In winter, rent a sledge or enjoy a shoe
shuffle through a winter wonderland or, year round, board a boat for a
crossing of Lake Lucerne.

This was fantastic! Highlight of our trip. The town you visit is a must-see. It was great to get out of the city and see the country-side.

Almost cancelled because we were the only ones booked for the tour. They let us pay for one extra person and gave us a private tour. The guide was great. Truly enjoyable experience. Thanks Daniel.
