Venture to the Heidi-like region of eastern Switzerland on this full day coach tour, sampling local cheese and chocolate then catch an aerial cable car over Swiss Alpine peaks.
You'll pass the medieval castle in Rapperswil before this morning’s first stop in Stein. Disembark at the cheese factory, where the famous wheel-shaped Appenzeller cheese is made.
In the small town of Appenzell, you're guide will accompany you on a brief walking tour past narrow pedestrian lanes and painted houses before driving to Brulisau. Board the aerial cable car to the panoramic Mt. Hoher Kasten. At 1800 meters, it offers breathtaking views over the Rhine Valley and Austria’s Voralberg.
On returning to Appenzell, you have an hour to explore the quaint town on your own. Take a closer look at Swiss traditions housed within the Appenzeller Musuem or opt to shop and a stroll in the heart of town instead.
Before returning to Zurich by coach, let the art of chocolate making seduce you at the Chocolate Factory Maestrani. Shopping here is definitely a must!
Please note between July 21-August 3, The Chocolate Maestrani will be closed. Tours on these dates will visit the Appenzeller Museum instead.
