Why we take guests here
Zürich, Switzerland’s largest city, sits where the Limmat flows out of the lake and is known for its old town lanes and lakeshore. You can explore the streets around the Grossmünster in the Altstadt, take in the skyline from the Lindenhof and walk along Bahnhofstrasse. North of the city lie the Rhine Falls and Stein am Rhein with its painted façades; to the south, the cog railway up Mount Pilatus and the mountain village of Engelberg. When we plan the programme we look at flight times, the hotel location and the season with you. Accommodation, the vehicle and visits are confirmed in a quote prepared for your travel dates. In winter, mountain roads and train timetables can change with the weather, so we keep the daily plan flexible.
