Every Day

Discover two countries, breathtaking Alpine scenery, and the timeless charm of Heidi’s Switzerland—all in one unforgettable day.

Leave Zurich behind and discover some of Eastern Switzerland’s most spectacular landscapes on an approximately 11-hour full-day guided journey.

Travel in comfort aboard our tour bus while your professional guide introduces you to the landscapes, history, culture and fascinating places along the route.

Lake Walen – Alpine Beauty

Your adventure begins with a scenic journey toward the shores of Lake Walen (Walensee), where crystal-clear waters, dramatic mountain cliffs and peaceful Alpine scenery create one of Switzerland’s most beautiful natural panoramas.

Enjoy time to experience the lakeside surroundings, admire the mountains rising dramatically around the water and capture memorable photographs of this remarkable Alpine landscape.

Your guide will provide information about the region and orientation for your time at the lake.

Liechtenstein & Vaduz – Discover Another Country

From Lake Walen, continue across the border into the Principality of Liechtenstein, one of the world’s smallest independent countries.

Visit its charming capital, Vaduz, beautifully situated beneath the surrounding Alps.

Enjoy free time to explore the town centre at your own pace. Stroll through the pedestrian area, admire Vaduz Castle overlooking the capital, discover local landmarks and boutiques, or simply enjoy the unique experience of spending time in this small independent Alpine nation.

Before your free time begins, your guide will provide orientation, information about Liechtenstein and recommendations for exploring Vaduz.

Heidiland – Step Into Heidi’s Switzerland

The journey continues into the heart of Heidiland, the region associated with Johanna Spyri’s world-famous Heidi story.

Travel through beautiful countryside surrounded by green meadows, vineyards, traditional Swiss villages and magnificent mountain scenery before reaching the Maienfeld and Heidi Village area.

Discover the landscapes that have become synonymous with the story of Heidi and the traditional image of life in the Swiss Alps.

Enjoy time to explore the surroundings, take photographs and experience the peaceful rural atmosphere of this celebrated region.

Your guide will also share the story of Heidi, its Swiss origins and its connection to the landscapes surrounding Maienfeld.

A Guided Journey Through Eastern Switzerland

Throughout the day, the road journey itself becomes part of your experience.

Your professional guide accompanies the group and provides commentary as you travel through the changing landscapes of Eastern Switzerland and Liechtenstein—from lakes and mountain cliffs to vineyards, valleys, villages and Alpine countryside.

Beautiful day in the Swiss countryside! We really enjoyed getting away from the city and seeing another side of Switzerland. Heidiland was charming and the mountain scenery was beautiful. Lake Walen was absolutely stunning and one of our favorite parts of the day. A peaceful and enjoyable trip with plenty of beautiful places for photos.

Switzerland and Liechtenstein in one day! Such an interesting trip. We especially enjoyed visiting Liechtenstein and having time to walk around Vaduz on our own. The combination of the small towns, mountains and lakes made the journey very scenic. A great choice if you want to see something different from the usual Swiss destinations.

Wonderful experience with Maria and Enver! Maria was friendly, informative and gave us lots of helpful information throughout the journey. Enver was a great driver and made us feel comfortable and safe all day. They really cared that everyone enjoyed the experience. Heidiland and Liechtenstein were beautiful, and Lake Walen was breathtaking.

A relaxing and memorable day! We loved that this tour didn’t feel rushed. There was a nice balance between sightseeing, beautiful drives and free time to explore. The scenery around Lake Walen was spectacular, and visiting both Heidiland and Liechtenstein made the day feel very varied. Definitely worth doing while staying in Zurich.
