Arosa Bergbahnen

Mountain cable car
Outdoor Activities
Ski & Snowboard Areas
Arosa Bergbahnen offers an unforgettable experience for both skiing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Nestled in the stunning Swiss Alps, this destination provides excellent skiing opportunities with well-maintained slopes that cater to all skill levels. Visitors can enjoy a seamless journey on their efficient cable cars, which depart every ten minutes, whisking you up to breathtaking heights where panoramic views await.
Magical trip up to Weisshorn. I recommend you to take the ca le car to middle station, see the bears and then continue up to weisshorn. It was a spectacular view. The cable cars departure every 10 min and the trip up is just a few minutes. Only downside is that the last cable car down was at 17.30.
Maycoll V — Google review
The ride up and down was great although we were unfortunately at a time when some rain was moving in and didn't have much of a view. You do go by the bear habitat but even the weather wasn't good enough for them to come out and play. The Jägertee at the top was warming for the chill outside.

We are an instructor from Kyrgyzstan. This year we were lucky enough to be in Arosa. We learn here everything they have. Proper skiing is one of the most important. Arosa provided us with the practice of the same day on 15 days. They have booked us free accommodation, meals, free skiing, all equipment. I'm very grateful. Thank you so much !!!

Lünersee

Mentioned on 
13 lists 
Lake
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Lünersee, located in the Austrian Alps, is a breathtaking destination for couples, families, hikers, and nature enthusiasts. It is one of the largest lakes in the Eastern Alps and offers a variety of activities such as hiking, climbing, fishing, and swimming during the summer. The turquoise jewel of the Alps sits at an elevation of 1,970 meters and boasts a picturesque setting at the end of Brandnertal in Vandans.
Beautiful place, definitely worth a visit. It is quite touristy though, you won't be here all by yourself. There's a nice hike you can do around the lake but don't underestimate the hike, definitely doable but not flat all the time. Would recommend taking the cable car and if you have the time you can explore A LOT more hikes around the area of the Lünersee. There's a nice hiking map overview in front of the cable car end station at the Lünersee.

Was a bit disappointed. Got there when they have drained the lake. Besides that amazing hike, and nice scenery. Do check the state of the lake before going there
Alex — Google review
A Perfect, Picturesque Stroll in the Alps Title: An Absolutely Stunning and Accessible Walk I recently did the easy 7 km loop around the Lünersee and it was the highlight of our trip to the Vorarlberg region. This isn't a strenuous hike; it's a breathtakingly beautiful walk that is absolutely perfect for almost anyone looking to enjoy the Alpine scenery without a major climb. The convenience starts with the Lünerseebahn cable car, which whisks you up from the valley and drops you right at the edge of this stunning, turquoise lake. The path is wide, well-maintained, and almost entirely flat, making it ideal for families with children, casual walkers, and even trail runners. The 7 km distance felt just right—long enough to feel like a proper outing but short and easy enough that we could take our time, stop for countless photos, and simply soak in the views. The colour of the water against the backdrop of the Schesaplana massif is something you have to see to believe. We were lucky with a clear day, and the reflections of the mountains in the still water were incredible. We completed the loop in just under two hours at a very leisurely pace, including stops. There's a great alpine hut, the Douglass Hut, perfectly positioned for a drink or a meal with a view partway around. In a nutshell: If you want an unforgettable Alpine experience without the sweat and effort of a major hike, this is it. Scenic, easy, and utterly rewarding. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Tips: Bring a light jacket as the weather can change quickly at that altitude. And don't forget your camera! Rating: · Scenery: 5/5 · Difficulty: 1/5 (Very Easy) · Family-Friendly: 5/5 · Value: 5/5
Lalith C — Google review
5/5 – Stunning and Serene! I visited Lünersee in Vorarlberg this September, and it was absolutely breathtaking. It happened to be the first snow day, which added a magical touch to the entire experience. Taking the cable car up was smooth and the views were stunning. The combination of sunny skies and fresh snow made it a perfect day for a peaceful walk around the lake. If you’re looking for a serene spot with incredible mountain scenery, Lünersee is a must-visit. Highly recommended!. The restaurant there is so delicious !!!
David M — Google review
Amazing. You can hike from the car park. Its an easy hike or take the cable car. At the top there is a nice restaurant. Unfortunatly it was very windy and the forcast was also not good so we decided to not to the whole hike around the lake.
Andrea — Google review
What a gorgeous lake! Hiking around it is about 2 hours and it is a very relaxing and easy hike. If you start from the right side after getting off the lift, you will face a bit of uphill towards the end of the hike but nothing difficult. Pretty flowers you can enjoy all around the lake, mesmerizing incredible colors of the water, and diverse shapes of rocks you see all around. One of my favorite lakes in the region!
Akiko T — Google review
Its really a beautiful place for a short trip if you want, you can make it longer by climbing up the mountain, but just the lake is absolutely beautiful

Bernina Express

Mentioned on

Tours
Mountain cable car
Scenic Railroads
The Bernina Express is a renowned panoramic train journey that takes passengers on a breathtaking ride through the Swiss Alps and into Italy. Departing from either Chur or St. Moritz in Switzerland, the historic red train climbs to impressive heights, offering unparalleled views of Italian and Swiss mountain ranges, glaciers, and picturesque landscapes. The route includes crossing 196 bridges, including the spiral viaduct of Brusio, and traversing the Bernina Pass to Engadin.
The most beautiful train ride I’ve been on! The train has really big windows so you get a better view of the landscape. We went from Chur to Tirano, it was about 4 and a half hours. The train goes at a relatively slow speed so you get to take in all the views. Definitely book your tickets and seats ahead of time.
Percy S — Google review
It was amazing experience for us. We went from St. Moritz to Tirano. The train has panorama windows and the driving is very comfortable and gentle. The views are breathtaking. I highly recommend everyone to try Bernina express.
Marjetka Š — Google review
Great experience. From chur to Tirano take the Right side for more view. Both sides are great but the major attributes can be appreciated at the right side (from Chir to Tirano). Something that I don't know was that they offer a gift (a mini carrier with chocolate hearts and a beverage tea).
Dr. C — Google review
Absolutely incredible! No words to describe the beauty of Alps throughout the journey from Chur to Tirano. This Bernina express is unique and definitely a must try lifetime experience.
Abdul B — Google review
This was the best train journey I’ve ever experienced. I went in first class but space and seats are probably the only difference between the two classes. The views are just stunning! You go over mountains, fields, glaciers I could just keep naming things. Around the end (if you are going from Tirano to St Moritz) you can get off at the highest point for pictures and a coffee. The staff are super friendly and always try to make your journey pleasant. This exhilarating ride takes about two and a half hours (if you again are going from Tirano to St Moritz). I highly recommend going on the right side as you get more amazing panoramic views though both sides are great. It is best if you book in advance although upgrades are sometimes available on the day. 5 stars.
Maria P — Google review
Beautiful experience! I traveled today in 1st class from Chur to Tirano — it was an absolutely wonderful experience. The landscapes were breathtaking, the train was clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere very peaceful. However, the Wi-Fi link didn’t work, and unfortunately the toilet in 1st class was out of order, which was a bit disappointing for such a premium journey. Other than that, everything was lovely — I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy one of the most scenic train rides in Europe.
Danijela B — Google review
We travel to Milan for our vacation, but noticed that there is such a cool train track, Bernina Express. So we decided to try booking the entire trip via Klook. This turned out to be the best decision we made in this trip. The mountainous and forest view along the train route is so beautiful, breathtaking and stunning. Please see the photos and vedios I uploaded. Don’t think too much, just book and go. There are many ways to do this, please look up more detail in Google or Youtube. Highly recommend to go. It’s a MUST in your life time.

One of the best trip we've ever made, a must for any couple despite it was far from our hotel (3 hiur to reach it) but it worth ever minute. On time, good value for money and refreshing. Not easy to book online, you should buy the ticket, then "separately" the seat !

7132 Hotel

Hotel
Spas & Wellness
Nestled in the heart of Vals, 7132 Hotel is a contemporary and stylish retreat offering an array of amenities. Indulge in unadulterated culinary experiences at Red, where timeless classics like crepes Suzette are flambeed tableside. The hotel's luxe spa boasts quartzite walls and offers rejuvenating treatments like the highly recommended deep muscle massage. While some find the rooms a bit small, they appreciate the welcoming team and creative cuisine at Silver restaurant.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel 7134 in Vals, and it was truly a memorable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the stunning architecture and the serene surroundings. The hotel seamlessly blends modern design with the natural beauty of the Alps. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive, making sure I felt right at home. My room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight was definitely the breathtaking views from my balcony. The hotel’s spa facilities were a true oasis. I enjoyed relaxing in the thermal baths, which were both rejuvenating and tranquil. The on-site dining was also outstanding, with a delicious menu that showcased local ingredients.

I had visited many hot springs hotels in Japan, but this Swiss thermal hotel was very different experience. It is mixed thermal bath with bathing suites on which is major difference than the separated bath/private bath in Japan. The water quality was amazing and you can actually feel its healing power. The hotel is set in a beautiful valley and the hotel rooms are beautiful designed with gorgeous view(not very comfortable and guest friendly though, like any other design over functional situations). The Silver restaurant is a must do where the food is amazing and you get to spend 10 minutes snack time inside this Michelin two stars restaurant, meet the chefs see how they create. Though the hotel is bit remote but they offer limousine for 100 CHF or helicopter for tens of thousands dollars.
Amy S — Google review
Truly a special place that I dream to return time and again. The waters and the facilities, designed by famed architect Peter Zumthor, are close to a spiritual experience, calming and quieting. I’ve stayed in the luxurious penthouse, which is designed by Kengo Kuma, truly expensive but worth it for special occasions, and in various rooms in the House of Architects—these are compact but much more reasonably priced and special with the vibes. The on site restaurants are magical, including the formal restaurants at Red and the elevated Silver whose teams are truly artists. The spas, the front desk, and the concierges trolly go above and beyond to make you feel special, as they have for me each time I’ve stayed. Can hardly wait to return as soon as I’m able.

The hotel feels overpriced and does not really meet the standard of a true 5-star property. I also found that there was not much to do in the area, which made the experience quite boring. Overall, not what I expected..

had the most wonderful stay at 7132 Hotel in Vals. From start to finish, everything was exceptional like the food was truly delicious, the drinks outstanding, and the massage treatment something really special. The thermal baths and the architecture alone are worth the trip, offering a unique and calming atmosphere with such a cozy and welcoming surrounding. On top of that, the staff were warm, professional, and made the whole experience even more memorable. A perfect place to relax, recharge, and treat yourself. I’ll definitely be back!

It’s the perfect place to unwind—whether you’re alone, with family, or with friends. Everything is thoughtfully designed for comfort and relaxation. We truly enjoyed our one-night stay and would love to return for a longer visit next time. The staff are friendly, professional, and always ready to help. The place is spotless and beautifully maintained, and every detail has been carefully considered to make you feel at home. Soaking in the thermal bath with a mountain view—what could be better?

Flims Laax Falera

Mentioned on 
6 lists 
Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
Laax, along with its neighboring towns Flims and Falera, collectively form the Weisse Arena ski area. This winter resort offers a variety of runs suitable for all skill levels and features several terrain parks. In the summer, Laax transforms into a hub for biking and walking activities. The area boasts approximately 220 kilometers of high-altitude slopes catering to beginners as well as expert snowboarders.
Enjoyable Skiing Experience at Laax Laax is a truly beautiful ski resort with a lot to offer. It boasts fantastic facilities including a great fun park, a well-designed pro park, and a beginner-friendly park. For convenience, there are tow lifts at two smaller parks, while the larger P60 park features a chairlift and a small lift after the halfpipe. The pistes on the glacier are simply stunning and are meticulously groomed. However, the weather can change rapidly, and occasionally skiers may find themselves in a cloud, limiting visibility. But when the weather is clear, it's truly a dream come true. Compared to Austria, Laax tends to be less crowded, providing a more relaxed atmosphere for skiing. In terms of pricing, a ski pass costs around 110 Swiss francs, as the ski card needs to be purchased and there's no deposit refund since the card cannot be returned. For those with a lift ticket, a day on the slopes costs approximately 100 francs per day, If you don't buy a weekly or seasonal tariff. Access to the mountain is convenient, with three valley stations providing access to the Galaaaxy mainstation. Overall, Laax offers an enjoyable skiing experience with a variety of slopes and amenities to suit skiers of all levels. Laax also offers the convenience of its own app, making it easier for visitors to access information about the resort, including lift status, weather updates, trail maps, and even real-time updates on events and activities happening in the area. This handy tool adds an extra layer of convenience to the overall skiing experience at Laax, ensuring visitors can make the most out of their time on the mountain.

Great place for ski, although a lot of flat parts which is can be annoying for snowboarders. Breathtaking viewes, good slopes preparation, snow cannons are in operation. Second half of season n February-March gives nice opportunities for free ride and a lot of off-piste routes, earlier snow coverage is not enough. Only disappointment - you can buy ticket only online where only two payment types are accepted - wish that they enable PayPal and other wide-spread options (limitation due to corona, last year it was possible to buy ticket at place)

Small resort with one stop services in main drop off cable car station. Themed with movie and films interior decor. View is amazing during our visit where sunshine is abundant. Would suggest for more experienced skiiers compared to novices. Main entrance is humble and nested amidst the small boutique hotels. Will be great if they can have clear directions from main road so that first timers can find way easily.

+ excellent terrains for skiing, beautiful nature - high "DYNAMICS" prices (getting more expensive for example with good weather but you must pay full high price even if half the resort is closed) ... waiting time is high (you can pay EXTRA for "Blue line" special corridor to get ahead of the queue ...

As a Colorado (U.S.) native, I'm not going to say that the skiing/ snowboarding was great (very packed, icy terrain & thats why I say 4 stars) 😅 but the views more than made up for that. We also just happened to go the weekend of the final smowboarding qualifier for the '22 Olympics, so the atmosphere was AWESOME! I'm not sure if it was a special occasion or its always a party, but the building at the top of the mountain was such a DOPE vibe with a DJ and absolutely amazing sound system 🙌 The weather just happen to be very warm & sunny, so our favorite part was drinking a beer and listening to great music, soaking up sunshine & enjoying the breathtaking views. It was the best part of our Switzerland 🥰. I can honestly say that we'd come back to Laax if we get another chance to visit 🇨🇭 P.S. This resort was recommended to us by a friend of ours who's a German native. He says he usually snowboards in Austria, but if he were to be on Switzerland, he would choose Laax.🤷🏼‍♀️ Hope that helps!

It was a very nice expirience. The Gondel / Cabelcars were nice. The chair lift was also very comfortable because it had a cushion. But honestly the best part was the restaurant. I ordered a calamari and it was one of the best ones that I've had. 5/5 easily

(Translated by Google) We went on a culinary delights hike and were thrilled. There were 3 different restaurants. It started with the starter in the Molseralp mountain restaurant, then a short hike to the Chrüz mountain restaurant for the main course and then on to the Sennästube restaurant for dessert. We enjoyed all the dishes very much and what particularly struck us was that the staff in all three restaurants were very friendly and very prompt. We'll definitely come back. Thank you very much.

I bought a day ticket...now the rest of the family is up on the Prodkamm having lunch and I'm sitting down here... In my opinion this could still be optimized... (Original) Alles top wie immer…nur warum hat der Sessellift über Mittag geschlossen? Hab eine Tageskarte gekauft…jetzt ist der Rest der Familie oben auf dem Prodkamm zum Zmittag und ich hock hier unten… Das könnte nach meiner Meinung noch optimiert werden…

(Translated by Google) Hello Heidiland Tourism / Bike Trail We were in a group on the bike trails at the weekend. Super great thing, simply brilliant. The only negative thing was that the ski lift operator had squeezed us so badly when we got off the bikes that it was borderline bad. As beginners on the trail/lift, we simply didn't know how it worked exactly and how we had to get off the lift at the very beginning. Despite everything, a great experience... (Original) Hallo Heidiland Tourismus / Bike Trail Wir waren am Wochenende in einer Gruppe auf den Bike Trails. Super tolle Sache, einfach genial. Das einzige negative war, dass der Skiliftbetreiber uns beim Aussteigen mit den Bikes so zusammengestaucht hatte, dass es schon grenzwertig war. Als Anfänger auf dem Trail/Lift wussten wir ganz am Anfang einfach noch nicht wie es genau funktioniert und wie wir den Lift verlassen mussten. Trotz allem, ein super Erlebnis...

(Translated by Google) Ladies and Gentlemen This morning I experienced the best anti-advertising from your Unterterzen cable car To the case; Shortly before 10 a.m. I bought a day ticket for my daughter (10 years old) and myself, at the very high price of FR. 110.-- But I immediately noticed how your employee had refused a free trip to Tannenboden to two chauffeurs who had recently brought 90 people. Incomprehensible and incomprehensible. Calculate 90 x FR day ticket. 67.- and such a reaction. There is still a lot of potential and this first impression is very impressive. Kind regards D. Army (Original) Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren Heute Morgen erlebte ich die beste Antiwerbung von Ihrer Luftseilbahn Unterterzen Zum Fall; kurz vor 10.00 Uhr löste ich für meine Tochter ( 10 Jahre jung ) und mich je eine Tageskarte, zum sehr stolzen Preis von FR. 110.-- Bekam aber direkt mit wie Ihren Angestellte zwei Chauffeuren, die kurz zuvor 90 Personen gebracht hatten, die Gratisfahrt nach Tannenboden verweigert hatte. Nicht nachvollziehbar und unverständlich. Man rechne 90 x Tageskarte FR. 67.- und eine solche Reaktion. Da ist noch viel Potential vorhanden und dieser erste Eindruck ist sehr eindrücklich.

Wildpark Peter und Paul is a free-entry animal attraction located in the northeastern part of St. Gallen. It offers hiking paths that lead visitors past large enclosures housing local animals such as deer, boar, lynx, ibex, chamois, and marmots.

Lovely views along the walking paths winding through the woods, passing large enclosures along the way. We were fortunate to see several baby steinbock in a nursery enclosure. So cute! The entrance is free, but you will want to make a donation to help support and maintain this treasure.

Shops are not open on a Sunday so we visited this wildlife park with the free bus ticket from the hotel. It’s a 5min bus ride and 15-20min walk from there. A small park with farm animals such as the marmots, deers, mountain goats. Not the most grand but you also get a view of the entire city and lake Constance from the hill. My only complaint is they don’t label Peter and Paul, so I don’t know which marmots are they 😅
MY — Google review
Lots of people describe parking but I had a hard time finding out WHERE, so let me clarify. There are parking spots by the restaurant and the sign clearly states that it is for visitors to the restaurant OR wildlife park. As many others stated, there are limited parking spots. The walk through the park is a loop that we did at a very leisurely pace, taking lots of pictures, in about 45 minutes. The wildlife are in large enclosures, so this is essentially a zoo (and entry is free).

It's a nice and peaceful place on the top of the hill,where you can walk or even cycle around. It's free entry and alot of parking space too. There is a nice small restaurant where you can grab a quick bite or snacks too. Kids really enjoyed seeing the animals. There are deer, wild boar, wild goats, and lynx. It's a nice gateway for a day, so I will definitely go there again.

Family-friendly leisure park offering live shows, a sea lion arena, roller coasters & water rides.
What a nice choice for a family with kids under 10! It's a nice place to be on Sunday with your small ones, so many activities to visit, slides, climbing, trampoline, rides in the water, a very small square with a fountain where your little one can refresh and play and there is one more small pool with Toys and slides if you like the water. There is a 🦭show. There is also a restaurant to stop by,I woulda say there are healthy options for food but you can always take food from home and rest under the shadow .

Very good place for families with small kids. I spent a very good day on a weekday. A lot of activities you can do in one day. Plenty of parking spaces for car and not expensive.
Abrahale T — Google review
Perfect for families with kids of all ages. There’s something for everyone here, and it’s just the right size of park to be able to do everything in day. The staff are all happy and smiling all the time. I’d recommend buying the tickets ahead online and showing up at open to get the best experience out the day. Make sure to catch a show or two between rides as well, definitely worth seeing!

The park is ideal for kids between 6 and 12 years. It offers a nice day of fun, with diverse activities. It is only 50 minutes from zürich, and if you arrive early, you can get to enjoy all the rides.

This was a great expirience, alltough we had rainy and snowy weather, we had much fun and had the whole park to ourselves which you should try. The food in the restaurant was not bad but also not exclent either. PS: Your child should be atleast 1.20m (4 foot) for most of the rides.

Spent a beautiful Saturday with my little kids today. Bought tickets online and did not do any lines at all. This is definitely a good options for parents with younger children, teenagers might be a bit bored after going on some rides, since it is also not a big park. It was very pretty, almost no lines when we arrived (around 10:30 am), afterwards got a bit busy, 0 line in the main roller coaster. Entrance prices are ok for the area. Food was a bit pricey but normal. We saw a picnic area with a grill so we could have brought food if we wanted to. The voodoo ride was super funny to do even with the baby with us. Be prepared with extra clothes and towels in case you are into the water games. The sea lions show was very well prepared and funny. Would definitely recommend.

Great family-oriented amusement park. Due to its compact size, you don't need to walk long distances, which is a plus with small children. Besides numerous rides, there is also a parrot and a sea lion show (check hours and get there early as seats are limited). There are several restaurants on site. For rainy days, there are also indoor activities, such as trampolines and a climbing park.

The Swiss Science Center Technorama is an expansive and airy center that offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor interactive displays with various scientific themes. Visitors can immerse themselves in the interactive exhibits, which cater to all ages, from young children to seniors. The center allows guests to touch and engage with most of the displays, providing a fantastic experience for everyone. Additionally, there are specific experiments conducted by trained staff members.
This is one of the best museums I have ever been. The ticket price is totally worth it! It is literally for everyone from 1 till 100 years, lot of fun, games, activities and learning along the way! Been there twice, and definitely will go the third time! While planning the day at the museum, plan at least 4-5 hours. You can have your backpack with you, so water and snacks is also a good idea.

Amazing Day In an Incredible Museum On a rare day when my children were off school (but all other schools were open) we visited Technorama and had an amazing day. There were only a few visitors, but enough to seem alive and the weather was perfect for visiting the outside area. The museum itself is so well made and organized. The number of engaging exhibits and well-done live shows/demonstrations will keep people of all ages busy all day. Special recognition goes to the restaurant staff for the freshly made food and the extremely friendly interaction during our lunch. We waited years for the children to be old enough to appreciate the museum - we won't wait so long before our next visit.

It’s so big, hours of entertainment for the kids in all different science categories with hand on experiment exhibits. There’s also a restaurant on site, plus an outdoor area with more exhibits. We spent 3.5 hours and didn’t get to do the outside area before closing, and we weren’t super slow going through the exhibits either.

This is hands down the best science museum that I’ve ever been to - everything was hands-on and interactive and really snuck in the science in a way that makes learning enjoyable. We spent almost 5 hours exploring the space with a 4 year old and could have easily spent more. The food in the cafeteria was pretty good, and I liked that you paid for the pasta by weight so you could take a smaller portion and not waste food. 10/10 way to spend a rainy day

I love this museum. The kids enjoy it as well. The only two downsides are: it is loud and expensive. You can wear headphones against the noise and use an SBB voucher if you have a Swisspass. You should bring your own food. There is a nice picnic area. You can spend 5 hours here easily. The museum is best for kids between 6 to 14. Plan well for the labs and bring 2 CHF or 2 EUR for a fun game at the door to the outside.

Mountain peak
Outdoor Activities
Titlis is a renowned mountain destination that boasts the world's first cable car, providing access to a skiing area, suspension bridge, and glacier caves. The area also offers a variety of dining options, including cozy fondue restaurants and Italian eateries. Visitors can enjoy the panoramic views while dining at the Panorama Self-Service restaurant. Additionally, there are accommodation options such as the Spannort Hotel & Restaurant in Engelberg, which provides easy access to Titlis and other attractions in the area.
Our family trip to Mount Titlis in Switzerland was truly unforgettable. The journey itself began with a stunning ride from Lucerne to Engelberg, which is the base station for Titlis. The scenic views along the way are absolutely breathtaking and make the trip worthwhile even before reaching the mountain. From Engelberg, we took the gondola ride up to the summit. The ride is smooth and offers spectacular panoramic views of the Swiss Alps, valleys, and snowcapped peaks—an experience in itself. At the top, we enjoyed exploring the famous Cliff Walk, which is thrilling and offers unmatched views of the surrounding mountains. We also walked through the Glacier Cave, an enchanting tunnel of ice that fascinated both adults and kids. Unfortunately, due to weather conditions, the Ice Flyer chairlift and Snow Park were closed during our visit, but there was still plenty to enjoy. For meals, there are several restaurants inside offering pizza, pasta, and other cuisines, which made it easy and convenient to relax after exploring. Overall, Mount Titlis is a perfect family destination—offering adventure, incredible alpine beauty, and unique activities. Even with some attractions closed, the experience was magical and is a must-do when visiting Switzerland.

Beautiful mountains. There are many activities. Suspension bridge, glacier cave,cliff walk etc. I visited in the mid of August. Because of rain and fog they closed Suspension bridge. Cliff walk also not done, Because of poor visibility. We should avoid visiting if the weather is bad. But the cable car ride was too good I could not take pictures much Because of the weather. They have restaurant in the 2nd floor. , coffee station, souvenir shop etc. One should wear good layers even in summer time. Because it's cold on top of the hills. Carry umbrella, rain coat, gloves.

Good but not great. Titlis is widely popular as a budget friendly alternative to expensive Jungfraujoch which results in huge crowds coming here even on weekdays. The rotating cable car is always overcrowded. On the top level, there are activities like 'I love Titlis' photospot, Titlis cliff walk, Ice caves with ice sculptures and DDLJ cutout for Indians. Ice Flyer requires an extra ticket to be purchased. However will not recommended it as crowd spoils everything here. The restaurant on top is good and you can also bring packed food and eat in seating area there enjoying stunning views from windows. On first level from where you change to Rotating cable car there is snow park which has activities like snow tubing and sledging which are free. I enjoyed snow tubing it was great fun and a must do. There is also free shuttle service from Engleberg station to Titlis base. One star deducted for excessive crowds. The snow on top is very very slippery so mind your steps. If you are looking for privacy and calm experience, I would recommend to skip Titlis and go to other swiss snow mountains like Schilthorn, Matterhorn glacier paradise, Gornergrat Matterhorn or Glacier 3000 which are less crowded.

It was an unforgettable experience for me. Enjoyed the journey from Zurich to Mount Titlis. Cable car and rotating Gondola ride was exciting. Experiencing the Glacier cave was amazing. Enjoyed every second during my trip to Mount Titlis. While descending also visited the lake in between. Lake and the surrounding was serene. I had booked my journey from Zurich HB station. There is information center. People there are very friendly to assist. I shall cherish this memory lifelong.

Under Construction and lot of space reserved and restricted, few restaurants space used by few people as prayer room… restaurants views also obstructed…. Construction will complete somewhere in 2026-2027. Single photo on ice flyer and clif walk cost 19 CHF. Few other places are also closed and under renovation… snow park is not active… on lake should have installed paddle boat so people not expert can enjoy and sign board says on own risk….

An Unforgettable Alpine Paradise! A visit to Mount Titlis is, without a doubt, one of the most breathtaking experiences you can have in the Swiss Alps. From the incredible journey to the summit to the spectacular activities at the top, every moment is filled with awe-inspiring beauty and a sense of adventure. It's an absolute must-do for anyone visiting Switzerland. The Gondola Ride: A Rotating Spectacle The journey to the summit is an attraction in itself. It begins with a comfortable gondola ride from Engelberg, gliding smoothly over lush green valleys and charming Swiss chalets. But the true highlight is the final leg of the ascent on the Titlis Rotair, the world's first revolving cable car. As you step inside, the gondola begins a slow, 360-degree rotation, ensuring that you don't miss a single angle of the phenomenal landscape unfolding below. You'll watch as the green pastures give way to rugged rock faces and then to a vast expanse of pristine white snow and ice. The panoramic view of the surrounding peaks is simply jaw-dropping, making the ride up an unforgettable and magical experience. Breathtaking Panoramas from the Summit Reaching the summit at over 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) feels like stepping into another world. The air is crisp, and you are surrounded by a stunning panorama of snow-covered mountains and ancient glaciers. On a clear day, the view seems endless, stretching across the Uri Alps. The viewing platform offers a perfect vantage point to soak it all in. Standing there, above the clouds, you truly feel on top of the world. The sheer scale and raw beauty of the alpine landscape are humbling and will be etched in your memory forever. The Thrilling Cliff Walk For those seeking a bit of a thrill, the Titlis Cliff Walk is an absolute must. As Europe's highest suspension bridge, it's an engineering marvel that offers an exhilarating experience. Stepping onto the bridge, with a sheer drop below you, is a heart-pounding moment. Yet, any fear is quickly replaced by wonder as you walk across, suspended in the air with the majestic glacier and mountain peaks all around you. It’s a short walk, but the combination of adrenaline and spectacular scenery makes it one of the most unique and memorable parts of the visit. In summary, Mount Titlis delivers an exceptional alpine adventure. The combination of the revolutionary gondola ride, the awe-inspiring summit views, and the adventurous Cliff Walk makes for a perfect day trip. It's a place of immense natural beauty that offers both tranquility and excitement. Highly recommended!

Titlis Cliff Walk

Sights & Landmarks

The Titlis Cliff Walk is a thrilling pedestrian suspension bridge situated at the peak of Mount Titlis in Switzerland. As Europe's highest suspension bridge, it offers breathtaking views of the Uri Alps and an adrenaline-pumping experience as it hangs over 500 meters above the ground. Accessible via the Titlis Rotair gondola, this 100-meter-long bridge provides an awe-inspiring opportunity to walk across a narrow pathway high above the alpine abyss.
Unforgettable Mount Titlis Experience! ❄️🇨🇭 Visiting Mount Titlis in Switzerland was truly a dream come true! From the scenic cable car ride with jaw-dropping panoramic views to reaching the snow-covered peak—it was magical from start to finish. I had my lunch right on the mountain, and believe me, the combination of good food and spectacular views made it extra special. Despite the crowds, the entire place was impressively clean and well-maintained. The highlights? So many! Walking through the ice cave, gliding through the snow on the ice flyer, braving the hanging bridge suspended over the Alps, and the thrilling ice gliding were all beyond amazing. Each activity added a unique touch to the adventure. I would absolutely do this again and again—it’s that memorable. If you ever find yourself in Engelberg, don’t miss this place. I highly recommend Mount Titlis to anyone visiting Switzerland. You’ll fall in love with it just like I did!

The walk was so exciting! We crossed cliffs surrounded by eternal snow, and when I visited in autumn, the temperature was around –2°C. There were many tourists from Asia, and I was glad to find a prayer room (musholla) and a restaurant nearby. Unfortunately, I couldn’t play in the snow yet because it wasn’t the right season. But don’t worry — I’ll be coming back this winter for sure! ❄️🇨🇭

Whole area is under construction with large machinery everywhere. Area is now covered in tractor marks in the grey, watery, and dirty snow. At least there’s a clean toilet and good ice cream with a cool ice tunnel. I’d say only the ride up in the gondola was worth it for the view.

We visited Switzerland in October during the weekend. Reached Switzerland friday night and started our journey to titlis early morning 7AM as we need to travel from Bellpark hotel(Luzerne) to titlis(engelberg). Cliff walk is walk on the cliff. Can see the attached photo from titlis. So it's easy. Just 2 mins walk. Cable car, Glacier curve, Cliff walk, Open cable car, Zip lining, Paragliding, Trubsee lake (last) after completing all the above. Boat surfing in trubsee lake.

This was a really cool part of the Titlis summit experience. This bridge was one of my favorite parts up there. The views are just nuts, surrounding you by snow and mountains in every direction. Just a heads up, everyone stops to take pictures on it, so it can get a little clogged up. It was also cool to see who else was braving the heights—we saw a huge number of tourists from India and a lot from China. It doesn't take long to do, and it's included with your ticket. It's a must-do for the great photos and the bragging rights!

The access from Luzern is convenient. While I went sightseeing, the souvenir shop at the station kindly kept my suitcase for me.

Really enjoyed our ride up the funicular to the top. We then used the restroom on the top, had a quick meal, took a few photos, and then begun our descent. We walked as far as we could on the day down before getting tired and joining a funicular stop down. Along the way there were a few homes that opened as mini stop areas for food. No ticks no bugs, really great to be at a high altitude. Plenty of cows and bells welcoming you along the way.

We took a ferry from Luzern (just outside of Luzern train station) and after one hour got off at Vitznau. The mountain railway is just outside the station, and with 30 min it took us to the top of Rigi. After 40 min walk we reached Rigi Kaltabad, from where we took a cable and with 5 min we were down to Weggis, another 15 min walk we got to the ferry station and boarded the ferry back to Luzern. All is covered by Swiss Travel Pass. The view alongside the journey is splendid.

The zoo boasts an impressive collection of over 370 animal species living in carefully designed habitats. From the Lewa Savana to the Masoala Rainforest and the Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park, visitors can explore diverse natural environments and observe animals living as close to their natural habitats as possible.
This was one of the best zoos I've seen in Europe. They have a wide variety of animals, including baby snow leopards. Very cool! They also had penguins. The place also had plenty of places to eat and relax, as well as many bathrooms. Definitely recommend.

Really impressed by the Zurich zoo. It's a very large space with panoramic views, plenty of amenities and carefully designed enclosures for the animals that give them plenty of space to explore and hide. The rainforest dome with its tree canopy walk is a highlight, as are the snow leopards. The leopardess had three cubs in spring 2025, and watching them play was absolutely delightful. The zoo has a great balance of large animals (lions, giraffes, llamas, kangaroos,....) and small animals (fish, insects, tree frogs), all sensitively housed and explained. You could easily spend a whole day there. The setting is hilly, so it does take some stamina to walk through. It's only 15 minutes by tram from central Zurich. A great choice for a tourist on a Monday when the museums are closed.

The zoo itself it's very user friendly, it has food stands on the paths, the food is very expensive though. Some of the animals look depressed, specially the elephants. Other than that, it's a beautiful experience, walking outdoors and enjoying the company of your family or your special ones

It was a huge zoo with lots of cool stuff. Loved that the animals had sprawling enclosures. But many of the animals were nowhere to be found, with no explanation or signage. We'd walk a mile+ with the kids to see the lions or gorillas and discover they're not there that day?? It was also incredibly crowded. We went on a random Wednesday day in August and the line to buy tickets for anyone who hadn't bought online was very long.

Nice place, you can tell they take well care of the animals, it was also clean and had many WC on the way. It is a big area to cover, better go with time (3-4 hrs if with children).

Really enjoyed our trip to the zoo, a great day out for adults and children. Lots of great animals, we saw the snow leopards and the three cubs, tigers, elephants, rhinos, giraffes etc. Kids zoo was a lot of fun, you can climb in to a lot of the enclosures and pet the animals if they come over to you. Lots of the animals have some of the best enclosures we have seen in comparison to other zoos. Toilets were very clean and there were lots available. Even when our child was stung by a wasp, someone was available to help quickly which was really appreciated. Food was OK, some places didn't have great options but others did. Gift shop was nice, didn't feel over priced depending on what you were wanting. Would recommend booking online to avoid waiting in the queue for tickets if you have young children.

Beautiful stunning lake with breathtaking view of the alps. There are boat rides available if you are so inclined. Really lovey pristine lake with a magnificent view.

It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the whole of Europe, in my opinion. Obviously, the Alps on one side and Lucerne city on the other side give it ample backdrop for those picture-perfect photographs, but still :) Do not miss the boat rides available from Lucerne harbor. You'll thank me when you take one :)

Located in the middle of Lucerne city, surrounded by the beautiful Alps Hills. Lake Lucerne is a very picturesque one, probably one of the most beautiful lake in Switzerland. Also is one of the main attractions of Lucerne (while it also has become one of the most recognizable images of the country). It is a symbol of the city and gives a sublime beauty on sunny days. Especially when even the nearby peaks are still snow-covered and can be seen in the background the Pilatus, majestic. There are many boats that allow you to traverse the lake and cross from one bank to another or even cruise excursions to nearby towns. It's a pretty big lake reaching over 210 meters. PS:- Highly Recommended for taking a boat tour around it to enjoy the tranquil beauty it holds.

The shimmering blue waters, snow-kissed alpine peaks, and storybook villages nestled along Lake Lucerne’s shores. Hear the gentle splash ocutting through the lake, mingled with the cheerful chatter of fellow travellers. Feel ithe crisp mountain air and the magic of Switzerland unfolding before your eyes.

Art museum
Museums
The Kunsthaus Zürich is a renowned art museum in Europe, managed by the Zurich Society of Arts and with roots tracing back to 1787. It boasts extensive collections from various artists, including a significant number of Charles Munch's paintings and the most important assortment of Monet's works outside Paris. The museum focuses on showcasing high-quality works by artists across different periods, with particular strength in Impressionist, post-Impressionist, and modern art.
We visited during Zurich Art Weekend and it was fantastic! So many great 🖼️ and also few interactive displays. Its great that they label the art - stolen / not stolen. We easily spent there 3 hours! Its worth getting ticket to all exhibitions when you have time. You will enjoy all the Picasso’s and other great paintings.
Pavel B — Google review
An incredible museum, with access to two two-floor buildings filled with masterpieces. We explored the main museum first and got to see so many wonderful paintings from artists like Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Picasso and so many others, but I saw that they had the second largest Munch collection and when I asked they told me it's in the second building. Went through the underground tunnel and there he was on the second floor. I was left speechless and spent hours and hours going through all the wonderful rooms. Would definitely visit again!
Leni A — Google review
Cultural jewel in the heart of Zurich - Kunsthaus truly impressed.We didn't expect to discover such a remarkable collection of great masters - Rembrandt, Dutch classics, Monet, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Chagall, Modigliani... an entire constellation of art legends. One of the highlights was a striking passage hall showcasing works by the famous Swiss painter Ferdinand Hodler. The museum also includes a piece by Alberto Giacometti, the globally recognized Swiss sculptor known for his distinctive style. The spaces are bright and spacious, making it easy to linger and absorb the atmosphere. Lockers are available for storing personal items - a thoughtful convenience. And the museum shop? A delight, as always. I'm drawn to art museum stores, and this one felt like a mini treasure hunt - full of creative finds and unique keepsakes. Conclusion: Zurich shines with artistic brilliance - a true cultural powerhouse
Rolands M — Google review
The Kunsthaus Zurich boasts a vast collection, divided into two sections: the Old and the Old. Some of the works are truly magnificent, and even someone like me, who doesn't know much about art, finds them truly stunning. I wouldn't be able to fully explain them, though. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a tourist, this is a place worth visiting.
Joseph B — Google review
Nothing short of outstanding in every aspect. I new I was going to see artwork old and not so old of many big-name artists, but the excellent way the collections were arranged and information provided on the artists etc. together with practical aspects (the two very spacious beautiful buildings across the street are connected with a pleasant subterranean walkway, there are cloakrooms with plenty of lockers, many toilets, two cafeterias, an amazing souvenir shop, and very helpful staff everywhere), all that made for a beautiful day at Kunsthaus Zürich. I thought kids would not be bored and surely love for instance an amazing LED lights and sound show, or an all-around video projection.

Incredible museum in Zurich, it's a must when you visit the city. We received free entry with our Zurich card. Plenty of rooms, floors, and items to visit during your time here. In fact it's the largest art museum in Switzerland. There's a tram stop right outside so it's well serviced by public transport. Definitely worth a look.
Graeme L — Google review
The museum offers free entry on every Wednesday to collections and small exhibitions, and it totally worth it. A fee can be paid extra for an audio guide. Impressive art from 14th to nowadays periods are exposed, and it could take up to 2 hours to see everything. The collections are very impressive along with the architecture of the museum building as well. Visitors are not allowed with bottles of water so I had to go up and down to the locker room few times due to incomplete guidance I received at the reception in regards the luggage rule.

Love the collections! Well curated exhibition galleries with a variety of art styles! Not to mention the expansive collection of Giacometti’s and Hodler’s artworks. The architecture of Moser building also provides a lot of details to observe. Definitely will go again!

Grossmünster

Mentioned on 
+116 other lists 
Protestant church
Sights & Landmarks
Grossmünster, also known as the "Great Minster," is an iconic twin-towered Romanesque cathedral located in Zurich, Switzerland. It was built on the site of a Roman burial ground and has been a prominent landmark since its opening in 1220. The cathedral's tall twin towers are considered one of Zurich's most recognizable features and have stood for centuries.
This church is a sandstone of the town Zürich Switzerland look at it in a incredibly safe part of the city. The church is tremendous specially going upstairs. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes with a small fee. You’ll see the most stunning view of the city. We loved praying here and spending time sitting down and relaxing. It’s very peaceful, full of tranquility and very quiet. People are respectful to the history and culture.
Edis — Google review
The Grossmünster is an iconic symbol of Zurich, instantly recognizable by its twin towers. It's not just an architectural marvel but also the cradle of the Swiss-German Reformation led by Huldrych Zwingli in the 16th century, which adds profound historical significance. While the interior is notably simple and austere, reflecting Protestant values, it features stunning stained-glass windows by Augusto Giacometti that bathe the nave in a beautiful, colorful light. The bronze doors depicting biblical and historical stories are also remarkable. However, the absolute highlight for most visitors is the climb to the viewing platform in one of the towers. After ascending 187 narrow spiral steps, you are rewarded with the best panoramic view in Zurich. You can see the Limmat River, the picturesque Old Town, Fraumünster Church, and on a clear day, the distant Alps. The climb is challenging but absolutely worth the effort. Verdict: A must-visit for history enthusiasts and anyone seeking an unparalleled perspective of the city. The view from the top alone justifies the visit.
Mậu N — Google review
Lovely lovely church in the heart of Zürich. If you have a Zürich pass you can visit this place for free. The painted glasses adorn the places so wonderfully. It’s a serene place to sit and ease out. My top recommendations for this place is the staircase to the top, the view from the top is just breathtaking, and it is not that long of a climb. I would definitely visit this place again and take the climb in a different season just to get another breathtaking view !
Tanvi K — Google review
Iconic church that rides up over the city, a landmark that can be viewed from multiple vantage points. The church is free to visit, but to climb the steps to the top you need a ticket. If you have the Zurich card you can also climb the steps for free.

⭐ 4/5 – Iconic Church in Zurich ⛪️ 🏛️ Visit Details Nice church to visit in Zurich! The ground floor is free, and you’ll need to pay CHF 5 to go up to the top — worth it if you’d like to explore further. 🪟 Interior & Atmosphere The stained glass windows are stunning, and the building’s structure is beautiful. The view outside from the ground floor is also lovely and peaceful. It can get a little noisy since many tourists visit during the day. ✨ Overall A must-visit landmark for its architecture, history, and charm — best enjoyed during non-peak hours for a calmer experience.

Munot

Mentioned on

Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Perched on a hill, Munot is a 16th-century fortress and tower offering panoramic views of the Rhine River and the surrounding village. The circular battlements, built with forced labor, conceal an atmospheric vaulted casemate. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase for breathtaking views over rooftops, spires, and wooded hills. The fortress symbolizes medieval history in Schaffhausen and provides a stunning vantage point to admire the landscape.
No ticket required to enter, can just walk in during the opening hours and explore. Quite a small place as the lower grounds are not open to public. Good view of the river Rhine and the city, can head down towards the city via the stairways nearby

Great touristic sight with easy access from the city. You need to climb up some stairways to get to the top. Even on a hot day the basement provides well received shadow and cool atmosphere to chill. There is free arts exhibition and also the access to the top is free of charge. A small kiosk is providing snacks and refreshments. Bathroom and all other facilities are clean and well maintained. The views a breath taking. If you are in the area, plan for a visit. Going up and down including parking will take roughly 30 min not including the time you will spend enjoying the view and the medieval fortress with plenty of historical details.

Munot @ Switzerland 🏰🇨🇭 📍 Schaffhausen, Switzerland Munot is a 16th-century circular fortress overlooking the town of Schaffhausen, offering panoramic views of the old town, the Rhine River, and surrounding vineyards. Built as a defensive structure, it has thick stone walls, a central courtyard, and a prominent tower you can climb for an even better vantage point. The walk up to Munot is scenic, passing through charming cobblestone streets and vineyards. From the top, the view stretches across the rooftops of Schaffhausen and toward the distant hills—a perfect spot for photography and a peaceful break from the busier town areas. 🧭 Tip: Visit in the late afternoon for softer light and fewer crowds, or at sunset for stunning golden-hour views. Entry is free, and the climb isn’t too strenuous.

This was such a cool fortress to visit. It was completely free to walk around the grounds and into the tower itself. There are deer on the grounds that are beautiful to watch. It was not very busy on a Saturday morning. You have to walk up a good bit of stairs and some of the interior is very dimly lit, so people who are a fall risk might not enjoy this activity. Lots of information on plaques and audio in English and German.

Really cool place, with nice view of the city and surrounded by deers in the dry moat. On the top you can even order some food and have a great time looking at the Rhine.
Vitor F — Google review
Look for deer! Castle Munot is a fortress above the old town of Schaffhausen. Built in 1589 based on designs by artist Albrecht Dürer, its distinctive circular form reflects Renaissance military engineering principles where curved, sloping walls deflected cannonball impacts rather than absorbing them at vulnerable corners.

Waterfalls
Rhine Falls, also known as Rheinfall in German, is the largest waterfall in Europe, located along the Rhine River in Switzerland. The falls are 150m wide and 23m high and have been a source of inspiration for artists like Turner. Visitors can take boat trips, explore viewing platforms, and join guided tours to fully experience this natural wonder. One popular viewpoint is from the walls around Laufen Castle, offering striking views of the falls.
Absolutely breathtaking! The waterfalls in Switzerland are like something out of a postcard – powerful, majestic, and surrounded by stunning natural beauty. The sound of the rushing water combined with the fresh mountain air makes the experience unforgettable. The area is well-maintained, easy to access, and perfect for both nature lovers and photographers. Definitely a must-see if you’re visiting Switzerland! 🇨🇭

Stunning place, absolutely amazing. Even though it was a rainy morning, the view over the falls and around was breathtaking. I bought boat ride tickets online, but I couldn't use them because our bus tour arrived too early and we only stayed for one hour. There is a very pleasant promenade with benches to rest on, multiple viewing platforms, a couple of gift shops, and several toilet facilities.

It is a beautiful waterfall. I came to it with the knowledge that it is Europe's largest and most powerful waterfall but when I saw it I was not impressed at all. Compared to the major waterfalls in other continents, it is not that large or powerful. But it is beautiful. And the walkway that leads to it is fine. There is plenty of water and it is so beautifully blue. The foamy water under the waterfall is nice to see. And there are quite a few waterbirds there such as gulls.
Dr G — Google review
The Rhine Fall offer a truly spectacular natural experience. We have visited several times and we loved it everytime. Until now, we have always chosen the entrance via Laufen Castle, which features a panoramic trail and a viewing platform situated halfway down. A staircase leads directly to the base of the falls, and after passing through a short tunnel carved into the rock, visitors can admire the waterfall from an impressive side vantage point. Watching the immense volumes of water cascade downward is endlessly captivating — a sight that draws us back time and again. I can also recommend to enjoy the boat ride to the Fall. It‘s a great experience!

YippieYaYa — Google review
A wonderful creation of nature and if you are in Zurich i would recommend having a visit to Rhine falls. It is easily accessible via train and there is a train station that gets you right to the viewing point of rhine falls. You have to buy a ticket to enter the falls which was around 5CHF at the ticket vending machine located there. No need to prebook the tickets. Then you have to take some steps down thus a small walk will take you to the viewing platform of this huge waterfall. You will feel the mist as the water power is really great at the viewing platform. There are several boat services which you can hop on to on an extra cost and will take you closer to the falls.
Uvini R — Google review
A must-visit Swiss landmark! Plan at least half a day, walk down from the castle to the waterfall, enjoy the view at various view points, take a boat tour with an audio guide, have a bite, walk back around the waterfall and over the bridge. Visit after a heavy rain when the waterfall has lots of water. Try to come during the week when it’s less busy. There is a little tourist train going around the waterfall and showing some of Schaffhausen. Very easily accessible by car or by train.

The Lion Monument in Lucerne, Switzerland is a poignant and enduring tourist attraction. It was created to honor the Swiss mercenaries who lost their lives defending the Tuileries Palace during an attack in 1792. The monument features a sculpture of a dying lion impaled by a spear, carved into natural sandstone rock above a pond. The names of the fallen officers and soldiers are engraved nearby, adding to the melancholic atmosphere of the setting.
We wandered through the vibrant city center and stumbled upon a hidden gem. It was a remarkable spot to explore and offered a stunning backdrop for photos in the heart of Luzern. Though it was a bit bustling, we seized the moment and captured a beautiful picture.

As a tourist attraction, the Lion Monument is relatively small in scale, yet it draws a large number of visitors. The sculpture of the dying lion is strikingly lifelike, full of emotion and quiet power. In front of the carving lies a small reflecting pool, where a few lonely fallen leaves float on the water, adding to the somber mood of the place. Overall, the visit takes about 5–10 minutes. No tickets required.

A truly impressive monument, much bigger than I expected and really beautiful. The Lion of Lucerne is carved directly into the rock to honor the Swiss Guards who died during the French Revolution.

Chapel Bridge

Bridge
Sights & Landmarks
The Chapel Bridge, also known as Kapellbrucke, is a 14th-century wooden bridge in Lucerne that is considered one of the oldest covered wooden bridges in Europe. It is a significant part of the city's medieval fortifications and was named after St. Peter's Chapel nearby. The bridge crosses the River Reuss and features a roof adorned with 17th-century paintings depicting local history.
Walking across the Chapel Bridge after dark is just an absolutely core Lucerne experience. During the day it's beautiful, but at night, it's pure magic. You stand in the middle of this ancient wooden bridge, and the view from it is just incredible. The old buildings along the riverfront, like the Am-Rhyn-Haus with its clock tower, are all lit up, and their lights shimmer and reflect on the water. It’s so quiet and peaceful. I must have taken a dozen photos just like these, trying to capture how beautiful it was. If you're looking for a romantic spot or just a place to have a quiet moment, this is it. An absolute must-do.

We had a wonderful experience visiting the Chapel Bridge (Kapellbrücke) in Lucerne. It was a beautiful evening, and the entire setting felt almost magical. The iconic wooden bridge, with its charming roof and historic paintings, reflected perfectly in the calm waters of the Reuss River—making it one of the most picturesque spots we’ve seen in Switzerland. What made the experience even more special was the atmosphere around the bridge. As we walked through, the gentle lighting and the flower decorations along the bridge added to the charm. Right nearby, the Old Town was buzzing with life. The streets were lively with cafés, restaurants, and little shops, making it a joy to stroll through. The blend of history, culture, and energy gave the whole area a very warm and welcoming vibe. Walking across the bridge and then meandering through the cobblestone streets of Old Town felt like stepping into a postcard. The combination of medieval architecture, colorful buildings, and the vibrant evening atmosphere made the entire experience unforgettable. If you are in Lucerne, visiting Chapel Bridge is absolutely a must-do, especially in the evening when the city lights and reflections on the river create such a breathtaking scene. It’s not just a landmark—it’s a place that captures the heart and soul of Lucerne.
Gaurav S — Google review
Chapel Bridge lives up to the hype being the most iconic outdoor attraction in Lucerne. Pictures of the bridge from the river shore streets are more scenic than photos taken from the bridge itself. Given that fire of 1993 destroyed at least two thirds of the bridge, don’t expect too much from exposed paintings. Fortunately, Water Tower was spared and bridge was rebuilt and reopened in 8 months carefully reconstructed to preserve historic details.

Beautiful bridge which has significant history; there had been a fire in the 90's but apart from some blackened sections it had been repaired. It was not crowded. It provided lovely views of the mountains, lake and Luzern itself. The wood is lovely and the craftsmanship is evident everywhere with examples of quality joinery etc. It's a short walk from the main railway station. I found it peaceful and calming.

The Chapel Bridge is an absolute gem in the heart of Lucerne. This historic wooden bridge, adorned with beautiful flower boxes, offers stunning views of the Reuss River and the charming old town.

Rathaus Stadt Luzern is an impressive Italian Renaissance-style town hall that has been a significant building in Lucerne for centuries. Designed by Anton Isenmann and constructed between 1602 and 1606, it serves as the seat of government. Located along the charming Kornmarkt square, its towering structure and sturdy stone walls can be seen from Chapel Bridge. The landmark also features a beautiful clock tower, adding to its historical significance.
Visited the Rathaus in Luzern last week, and it’s such a gem! The building itself is stunning—classic Swiss architecture with those beautiful frescoes and wooden details. It’s right by the river, so the location is perfect for a stroll after checking it out. We popped into the basement restaurant too, and the food was surprisingly good—solid Swiss dishes with a cozy vibe. Staff were super friendly, and it wasn’t too crowded, even with tourists around. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in Luzern, especially if you love history and a good photo op!

Mount Pilatus

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mountains
Mount Pilatus is a stunning mountain peak in Switzerland, offering sweeping views and a range of amenities including a restaurant and hotel. Situated on the shores of Lake Lucerne, it provides an incredible setting with views of famous mountains like Rigi and Stanserhorn. The area also boasts a well-preserved medieval Old Town, souvenir shops, high-quality restaurants, and beautiful waterfront promenades.
I am struggling to find the right words to describe how incredible Mount Pilatus is. All I can say is that you absolutely CANNOT miss this if you are anywhere near Lucerne. The adventure begins with the cogwheel railway from Alpnachstad, which was full of surprises. Of course, the views are amazing, but I was not expecting the ride to be such a thrill! It climbs at a seriously steep angle, and it's fascinating to watch the scenery and plants completely change as you shoot up the mountain. Once you get to the top, there are several easy, short hiking trails, and every single step is just ridiculously beautiful. You get these insane 360-degree views of Lucerne's unique landscape, the massive lake, and snow-capped mountains in the distance. The photos don't even do it justice. And the wildlife! We saw mountain goats just chilling on the cliffs, basically posing for our pictures. Not to mention the friendly yellow-billed choughs (like mountain ducks) that are everywhere. From the journey up to the views at the top, this was a 10/10 experience. Just do it!

If you're in or neat Lucerne Mount Pilatus is a must see. I took the train from Lucerne to Alpnachstad and then took the cog train up the mountain. I had absolutely perfect weather and the views were stunning. There is a restaurant multiple lookout points and a few trails I hiked. I then took the gondola down the other side of the mountain. Highly recommend!

A definite must do,we had the silver round trip journey and it was well worth it,went up via the cable car and gondola and down by the cog train The views were amazing 👏 also the dragons caves were cool
Erwin T — Google review
Beautiful views all around. Be careful about visiting during spring, as parts of the viewing decks may be closed because of snow as late as early june in my experience. The facilities are new and very nice. I would recommend to take the cog rail up, and the gondola down the mountain for the best experience. Worth every penny.

WoW WoW WooooooW An absolute must see! It is a bit expensive to go up but what an insanely gorgeous experience to see lucerne and the alps from here. We took the cog wheel up and the gondola down. INCREDIBLE

My visit to Mount Pilatus was absolutely unforgettable! The entire journey — from the climb up through stunning mountain landscapes to the breathtaking views at the top — felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The combination of thrilling rides, fresh mountain air, and panoramic scenery makes it a must-visit destination in Switzerland. The facilities are well-organized, clean and tourist-friendly. The staff were helpful and very professional, making the experience smooth from start to finish. Whether you take the world’s steepest cogwheel railway or the aerial cableways, the adventure is incredible in every way. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Switzerland — Mount Pilatus truly feels like being on top of the world!

What a spectacular place! If you are visiting Switzerland, spend some hours at Mt. Pilatus. I took the steap railway to the top, but you can also choose to hike.
Marius N — Google review
Mount Pilatus was definitely a highlight of the trip to Switzerland. The weather in mid September was cooperative (it was as warm and sunny on the mountain as in Lucerne). Classic trip as advised: bus, cable cars to the mountain and trip back via cog-wheel train and lake cruise ending in Lucerne. Nature beauty is unreal, hiking a few paths at the top (paved or stairs) is almost a must. Utter surprise how tasty were the local beef hot dogs at the fast food joint on the mountain.

Limmat

River
Nature & Parks
Bodies of Water
Zurich is a stunning city with plenty to offer, from feeding swans on the banks of Lake Zurich to enjoying wine along the picturesque River Limmat. The architectural wonders like Fraumunster and Grossmunster add to the city's charm. While Zurich can be expensive, there are ways to enjoy it without breaking the bank, such as buying affordable booze at local supermarkets.
This attraction deserves to enter in your “must do” list! We were in Zurich in the summer, and our most pleasure was “floating ourselves” in the Limmat river. There’s a part with a very good “Badi”, when you can prepare yourself for this little adventure. But definitely, it was my hot spot in this trip! Very very good!
Lili — Google review
A peaceful river that gives Zürich its soul. The Limmat flows through the heart of the city, offering stunning views, charming riverside walks, and perfect photo spots. Whether at sunrise or sunset, it brings a sense of calm and beauty that makes Zürich unforgettable.

A beautiful river in the middle of the city of Zurich. You can take a boat cruise to appreciate the beautiful city from the river. Very close to the downtown where you can enjoy a nice dinner with friends or family.

Stunning river at center of Zurich. Great Restaurants, Coffee, Bars and all kinda shops. Amazing views, nice to have a walk or just enjoy the moment.
Mike — Google review
The best location in Zurich that you should visit! I love it when walk around here. The culture, the building, people here is very nice! You can go along beside this river to the lake. It’s relax and make you feel better. I saw many people picnic beside the river and the lake! If the weather isn’t hot I will love it too! You can go here easily by walk (there is tram to here but walked let you see the view here I’ll recommend it!) it’s around 1 km to zurich lake from Zurich HB station (it’s not so far right? Haha) but for one day in here I walked around 10 km!

Bright rooms in a cozy inn offering a rustic restaurant, plus a spa & an indoor pool.
Very nice and elegant place to visit. You can also get some nice views and a good time with the family, kids or friends. I recommend with all my heart,cause I know they’re putting the cleanings and quality on everything, and the most important you can enjoy your time on the restaurant, with live music, food and beautiful atmosphere.
Toma D — Google review
Facilities are really nice, nice cosy feeling. The rooms and beds are confortable. The host and staff are welcoming. The only downer of our experience was the dinner which really wasn’t up to expectations. 20 euros for a tiny salad, cold rice, a pathetic portion of schnitzel and a reheated waffle. It is a pity as it spoiled our impression of the place. I would recommend the place for families with kids. But would avoid dining in at all. Breakfast was nice.

Rooms and bathroom are small.but overall hotel is good
Deepak P — Google review
(Translated by Google) The hotel is generally acceptable: the location near a lush fir forest but close to a highway could be improved. The facilities are decent but need improvement. Our room was a boiler room, with no west-facing blinds, so we couldn't get in during the afternoon. The bathroom needs a cabinet over the sink and glass or similar shower curtains; the plastic ones are very unhygienic. The dining room lacks space to arrange the buffet, and it runs out quickly when we go in a group. The music during dinner should be at an appropriate volume so we can talk to our colleagues without shouting. However, they have made an effort to make our stay as pleasant as possible. (Original) El hotel es en general aceptable: la ubicación cerca de un frondoso bosque de abetos pero cerca de una autopista, es mejorable. Las instalaciones son dignas pero necesitan mejoras, nuestra habitación era una caldera de calor, sin persianas orientada al oeste, no se podía entrar por la tarde; el cuarto de baño necesita un mueble en el lavabo y unas cortinas de cristal o similar en la ducha, las de plástico son muy poco higiénicas. En el comedor falta espacio para colocar los alimentos del bufet y se acaban enseguida cuando vamos en grupo. La música durante la cena debe tener un volumen adecuado que nos permita hablar con los compañeros sin necesidad de gritar. No obstante, se han esforzado por que nuestra estancia fuera lo más agradable.

(Translated by Google) We wanted to sign up for breakfast (we have a gourmet book), but were told that if there were no guests, we wouldn't be offered breakfast. Then, days later, we tried it for dinner at 6:00 p.m., but were again turned away, saying, "No time." We definitely won't be back, so we wouldn't give it a star. (Original) Wir wollten uns zum Frühstücken anmelden, (besitzen einen Schlemmerblock) dann wurde uns mitgeteilt , wenn keine Gäste da sind wird uns kein Frühstück angeboten. Dann hatten wir es Tage später zum Abendessen 18.00 Uhr probiert und wurden wieder hungrig abgewiesen mit der Bemerkung "keine Zeit." Wir kommen bestimmt nicht wieder ,,würde daher auch keinen Stern vergeben

(Translated by Google) We went there for dinner with the gourmet block, appointment at 6 p.m. and everything started well, the boss gave us our first information: we had to leave by 7:30 p.m. The food arrived at 7:45 p.m., so we weren't leaving by 7:30 p.m. The food was terrible, the fried potatoes didn't even see the pan, and the hunter's schnitzel with spaetzle was barely in the pan. Price-performance ratio is not good at all. The boss was so generous that she knocked €1 off the price. We'll definitely never go there again, and why they took part in the gourmet block is a mystery to me. (Original) Waren zum Essen mit dem Schlemmerblock da, Termin um 18:00 Uhr und alles hat gut angefangen, erste Info von der Chefin wir müssen bis 19:30 Uhr wieder weg sein . Das Essen kam dann um 19:45 Uhr also war schon mal nichts mit 19:30 Uhr wieder weg. Das Essen war unter aller Kanone, die Bratkartoffeln haben die Pfanne nicht gesehen und das Jägerschnitzel mit Spätzle hat man kaum in der Pfanne gefunden . Preis Leistung geht gar nicht. Großzügig wie die Chefin dann war hat sie am Preis 1€ nachgelassen. Sicher gehen wir nie mehr da hin und warum die beim Schlemmerblock mitgemacht ist mir ein Rätsel.

Wutachschlucht

Hiking area
Nature & Parks
Scenic 33km-long river valley with imposing gorges & dense forestry, with popular hiking trails.
It’s a very rewarding hike for how easy it is! There isn’t a lot of elevation and we did see many families with kids and even dogs, but at the same time it’s an exciting trail, very naturey, beautiful views, cliffs surrounding you and several waterfalls. It’s not a strenuous trail but I would definitely recommend hiking shoes as it can be VERY slippery and the terrain is quite uneven.
Ivana G — Google review
Nestled in the heart of the Black Forest, the Wutach Gorge is an absolute must-visit for any nature enthusiast. My recent trip there left me utterly enchanted, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment you step onto the trails, you're transported into a verdant wonderland. The sheer scale of the gorge is awe-inspiring, with towering cliffs draped in moss and ancient trees. The Wutach River itself is a mesmerizing companion throughout the hike, its crystal-clear waters cascading over rocks and forming serene pools. The sound of the rushing water, combined with rustling leaves and birdsong, creates a symphony of nature that is incredibly calming and invigorating. What truly sets the Wutach Gorge apart is its incredible biodiversity. The air is fresh and clean, filled with the scent of damp earth and wildflowers. It's a place where you feel truly connected to the natural world. The trails are well-maintained and offer options for different fitness levels, though some sections can be quite steep – definitely bring good hiking boots! Every step is rewarded with stunning vistas and new discoveries. Whether you're an avid hiker seeking adventure or just looking for a peaceful stroll, the Wutach Gorge delivers. It's a place that rejuvenates the soul, leaving you feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply appreciative of nature's wonders.
Zain S — Google review
Exceptionally green and pretty. Especially up the other side of the path towards the waterfalls. It is however difficult to get into the gorge from any other direction than the main car park. I got lost and onto some very poor overgrown trails from trying to enter from the west. So definitely enter and exit from the car park to the East.
Josh L — Google review
Hiked it in full, from Achdorf to Kappel. It is nice but not amazing. Not enough of the path is near the river. Some beautiful areas (look for otters!) but also a lot of parts that are not memorable.
L.Robert1991 — Google review
Not really the best attraction in Schwarzwald. The trail feels partly unsafe, boring, and directions are pathetic. The trail is highly scattered and difficult to find the most scenic spots. The website "Hochschwarzwald" must provide more and better directions and information. We were misled and drove to a wrong parking spot where directions were really bad. I had to ask around to get to the right spot. There are much better places to visit in Schwarzwald.

It’s so beautiful in there! It’s a short trip so you won’t be spending the whole day. But maybe half a day including the area around is a great activity! Totally worth the admission ticket.
Chetan B — Google review
The Wutach River is a great stage for hikes and offers beautiful scenery for the eyes. Make sure to select a hike that follows the river closely to avoid public roads (I dislike asphalt during hikes and if you're not careful you can spend a lot of time on these in this area), this will allow you to make the most of the wonderful flora in the area. Don't forget to dress properly (good hiking shoes of category B at least are especially welcome) and bring enough water, as some of the hikes can be quite challenging.
Lars — Google review
Woooow what a hike, I did a hike of 5 hours and 17,50km in this area. My feet started to hurt else I would like to see more of this beautiful place. There is just so much to see, up and down on different paths. Where it can be unsafe there are steel fences and ropes. Saw a lot of ravens too and some other animals that you don’t see everyday. We wanted to take a bus at the nearest stop, but remember they do not ride that often so we had to walk our way back to the car. So don’t make the same mistake as me, go take the bus to the end and walk back to the car, instead of walking and take the bus back. Plan your hike. Beside that, what a place.

Scenic gorge with hiking trails & a picturesque arched bridge, plus a Christmas market.
I love this little hike. I lived in the area 7 years & missed it. Came for a visit and love to see how well it’s been kept up. Only thing that’s too bad is now they charge like 5€ just to park. But other than that, great lil’ hike.

A very beautiful and nice trail. Very organized and comfortable, not a difficult walk and the stream is very beautiful. A recommended option for a two-three hour hike.

One of my favorite trails in the Black Forest go as deep in the forest as you want. The trail is very well established. Go early or late to avoid the crowds.
John — Google review
Fabulous little trail that leads to several waterfalls in The Black Forest. There are bridges that have been built, and the trail is kept up. Nice and fairly easy little hike up, there are several sets of stairs, some are steep, so you need to be able to traverse those. They are setting up a Christmas village, so now is definitely the time to go. Wish I could hang around another week. The drive up is not bad either. There are stunning views of the surrounding Black Forest. At the bottom of the Gorge, you will find a Glass Blowing store, Bakery and café, with made on site Black Forest Cakes and other delicacies and also a Cuckoo clock shop with demonstrations.

One of the must to do hike in blackforest Great and easy trail. Peaceful Walk along the waterfall trail . Lot of routes to take. Parking available
Ajeesh-Musthafa — Google review
We parked for free on Hollsteig avoiding the car park charges albeit there aren’t many places on Hollsteig to do so but we got lucky. Maybe because we turned up after 5pm? This left us a slightly longer walk to the viaduct but we didn’t mind. The gorge itself goes uphill from here via a combination of slopes & steps. We walked up the gorge for a mile or so & then came back down. As a free activity in the Black Forest, it is very worthwhile to spend an hour or two here.

St. Jakob-Park

Mentioned on

Stadium
Sights & Landmarks
Arenas & Stadiums
St. Jakob-Park is a modern and comfortable stadium located in Basel, Switzerland. It is the home of FC Basel 1893 and offers guided tours that include access to the subs bench and VIP areas. The stadium has a capacity of over 6,000 seated spectators as well as standing spaces for additional visitors. St. Jakob-Park hosts various football games, sporting events, athletics games, and concerts throughout the year.
We had the pleasure of experiencing the official Eurovision Song Contest public viewing at St. Jakob-Park last weekend, and it was absolutely fantastic! This stadium proved to be an exceptional venue for such a large event. The size of St. Jakob-Park is impressive, and despite the massive turnout of around 36,000 people, it never felt overly crowded. The organizers did an outstanding job with the layout and flow. There were numerous food and drink options available, which definitely added to the positive atmosphere. The accessibility of the stadium is also a major plus. We found it very easy to get there from the city center using either the tram or the train, making transportation seamless. The highlight of the event was the impressive setup on the field. They had constructed a huge cube with large screens, ensuring that everyone in the stadium had a clear view of the Eurovision broadcast. The stage on top of the cube added another dimension to the event, creating a real sense of excitement and connection. It was truly the best public viewing event I have ever attended – the atmosphere was electric, and the facilities were top-notch. St. Jakob-Park is clearly a versatile and well-equipped stadium capable of hosting major events with remarkable efficiency and a focus on the attendee experience. If you have the chance to attend an event here, don't miss it!

Had to hand in my water bottle even though they were allowed to set off sparklers and flares. Great football match Basel vs Zurich. I was neutral and had to admire the fans musical talents especially the Zurich drummer. Basel won 2-0. It was a fun attacking game so not a boring defensive game. The pretzel was massive and tasted good.

Great stadium. Trams stop right outside. Staff were engaging, helpful & friendly. Entering & exiting was straight forward & easy. As with most stadiums, not enough toilets or fast food outlets at half time. I know you cannot fully cater for that many people but think about making improvements, at least for food. 20mins of waiting & the line hardly moved. Most went without. What a missed opportunity for the stadium/vendors.

I had a chance to visit St. Jakob-Park for the Eurovision Grand Final Public Viewing Show, and I had a great time! The organization of the event was very well done. The stadium is huge and actually way bigger than St. Jakobshalle, where Eurovision itself was held. The Public Viewing Show was completely sold out, and the stadium was packed! While entering the stadium and waiting in the long lines, many people joked, ‘Who’s even inside the arena if everyone is waiting to get into the stadium?’ :-) The stadium’s overall condition is good. It is noticeable that the whole venue is a bit dated, and it definitely needs a facelift to look nicer. Despite that, all areas were very clean. There are plenty of restrooms around the stadium with easy access from any section. There are also many food kiosks offering a good variety of snacks and drinks. Prices for food and drinks were mid-range, but actually reasonable compared to the generally high prices in Basel. Garbage bins were placed right by every section, which was a big plus. The seating and section numbering were well organized, so I found my seat without any problem. My seat was in Block Parkett C4, Row 16, and I had a very nice view of the whole stadium, specifically of the huge LED screen in the middle that broadcast the Eurovision Grand Final. The seat was moderately comfortable, definitely more spacious and better than the seats in St. Jakobshalle. I can absolutely recommend this specific section and row to anyone coming to the stadium to watch a game – the overall views are very clear. I’m not sure if the sound system was arranged specifically for the Eurovision Public Viewing, but the speakers worked flawlessly – the sound quality was outstanding throughout the stadium. The stadium is easy to reach from Basel or from Saint-Louis, France, where my hotel was right on the Swiss-French border. It’s about 20 minutes by direct train, around 45 minutes on foot, or even faster with scooters and bikes using Basel’s bike lanes; from my hotel in Saint-Louis an Uber ride took just 12 minutes and cost €15. Another highlight was the stadium’s capacity to launch massive, spectacular fireworks – like the ones at the end of the Eurovision Grand Final. Overall, visiting St. Jakob-Park for the Eurovision Grand Final Public Viewing Show was an unforgettable experience that I truly enjoyed. I hope the venue will get a facelift and be further modernized in the future to host more high-tech events – maybe even another Eurovision someday, who knows? ;-)
