Swiss Alps Adventures from Zurich
6 Tours and Activities
With high-speed trains that will take you from lakeside Zurich into the mountains in mere minutes, there’s nothing stopping you from escaping the city to explore the dramatic Swiss Alps. Winter ski resorts like Engelberg, Andermatt and Davos are all easily reached from the city center, but the best way to take in the sights is to book on a day or multi-day tour from Zurich.
Visit the ‘Queen of the Swiss Mountains’, Mount Rigi on a day trip to the Lake Lucerne region, where you can ride Europe’s oldest cogwheel railway to the 1,800-meter summit, or head to nearby Mount Pilatus, where the world’s steepest cog railway climbs to the 2,132-meter peak. An even more thrilling way to scale the Alps is on the famous CabriO – a unique double-decker cable car, which offers unbeatable panoramas from its open-air top deck as you scale the peak of Mount Stanserhorn.

How to Spend 3 Days in Zurich
12 Tours and Activities
Day 1: Art and the Old Town
Zurich is home to a number of museums, of which the Landesmuseum , the biggest in Switzerland, is by far the most visited, with a permanent exhibition on the History of Switzerland and a beautiful park out the back. Art lovers should head to the Kunsthaus gallery to marvel at works by Giacometti and works by Monet, Fuseli and Dada.
Day 2: Relax by day, party by night
One of Zurich’s biggest attractions is its vast lake, and the best way to experience it is by taking a boat trip, many of which head up the river and afford some great views of the riverside sights. If the cool, still waters don’t pack enough of a punch, it’s an easy 45-minute train ride to the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe.
Day 3: Shopping in the city
Zurich’s main shopping street, Bahnhofstrasse, is renowned throughout Europe, and it would be rude to leave the city without indulging in at least some window-shopping.
