Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Hoch Ybrig, Unteriberg Switzerland

Pick-up from your Myswisspanorama private guide (environmental expert MSc ETH Zurich) at the hotel or Zurich main station and journey along Lake Zurich. Already first background information about the exciting origins and history of this region. What, for example was in Zurich 25,000 years ago, where we can still see large traces in the city and in the countryside today?

After a while we turn off towards Einsiedeln and cross the village of Schindellegi, where Paris Hilton once lived. Although so close to Zurich, it quickly becomes rural. At the exit we enjoy a wonderful panoramic view over Lake Zurich, interspersed with a lot of forest.

Wow, how beautiful that is! A gigantic lake surrounded by an impressive mountain world of the foothills of the Alps. Welcome to the origin of Switzerland. Where a lake is today was once a village, no one would think of that. The whole story with the reasons is there personally from the environmental expert.

A great trip into a very exciting area of Switzerland. But now the demanding hike begins. With good shoes (at least trekking shoes or hiking boots, snowshoes are not necessary) we hike up the prepared snow hiking trail. We make a total of 600 metres of altitude difference in a 2-2.5 hour hike. A good to very good basic fitness is necessary. Important: Of course, we can also alternatively make a wonderful trip to a remote mountain lake and after a short walk eat something typically Swiss.

First we hike through a beautiful mixed forest. The clean and fresh air is really wonderful and simply good - a big counterpart to the city. After a while we reach the tree line. From there we enjoy an unforgettable panorama! And even better... on the mountain, a wonderful Swiss cheese fondue (included in the price) awaits us in a traditional and typical Swiss mountain hut.

When the sun is shining, it is sometimes even so warm that you can sit outside. What more do you want? The perfect place to enjoy and slow down.
After the lunch break we pick up speed. An impressive and adventurous downhill ride with a Snowgemel (I've only seen it in Switzerland so far and it's really fun) or with a Davos sled. An unforgettable experience!

So you discover the whole beauty of Switzerland in a different way!


Duration: 6 hours

Stop At: Lindt Chocolate Shop Kilchberg, Pilgerweg 58, Kilchberg 8802 Switzerland

What would Switzerland be without chocolate?
On the way back to the starting point in Zurich, we stop at the Lindt and Sprüngli chocolate factory shop, where the brand's main worldwide centre is also located. Here you'll find bargains as well as chocolate creatures, some of which are not even on the market yet - and thus above all others.



Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Kloster Einsiedeln, Einsiedeln 8840 Switzerland

Arriving back at the car our next stop is in Einsiedeln, where we visit the largest monastery in Switzerland. This cultural treasure is also simply impressive for non-religious people. In the best café of Einsiedeln we enjoy a good piece of cake and a warm coffee or tea. If we are lucky, we even experience one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Switzerland (Einsiedeln Christmas Market between 29.11-8-12-2019).
