Brunnen
We’ll head into the hills above the lake to a peaceful village with stunning panoramic views. It’s the kind of spot locals love, quiet, authentic, and with postcard-perfect scenery. You’ll get your first real taste of the Alps here.
30 minutes

Lake Lucerne
Next, we visit a village on the shores of Lake Lucerne where the air feels lighter, and the vibe is almost Mediterranean. Picture palm trees, vineyards, and alpine peaks rising in the background. Perfect for a slow walk and scenic photos.
30 minutes

Altdorf
Step back in time as we visit a small Swiss village tied to one of the country’s most famous legends, William Tell. The cobblestone streets, centuries-old buildings, and charming local church feel like a living history book.
30 minutes
5
Canton of Uri
As we head toward the Klausen Pass, we’ll make scenic stops at rivers, valleys, and hidden viewpoints. If you're up for a light hike, we’ll take you to a tucked-away mountain village we absolutely love, worth every step for the views alone.
2 hours
6
Klausenpass
We’ll drive one of Switzerland’s most scenic mountain roads, with plenty of stops to admire the views and visit a small alpine dairy. If the weather allows, you’ll enjoy a traditional cheese experience picnic fondue/raclette surrounded by grazing cows and mountain silence.
2 hours
7
Glarus
Tucked into a remote valley in the UNESCO-listed Glarus region, this waterfall is a true gem you can even walk behind it and feel the cool mist while surrounded by cliffs and lush alpine greenery.
30 minutes

Bilten
Before heading back, we make one last sweet stop at a local chocolate shop known for high-quality Swiss treats. Stock up on gifts or indulge in a tasting, you’ve earned it.
