Day by day
Day 1 Zurich Airport - Saint-Ursanne
We will meet and pick you up at Zurich Airport at the scheduled time, then take you on a journey to Saint-Ursanne, covering a distance of 219 kilometers (approx. 3 hours of travel). Saint-Ursanne is a peaceful border town between Switzerland and France. It is a hidden gem of the Jura region, tucked away quietly—a small town with the shallow Doubs River gently flowing through.
Overnight Saint-Ursanne : · example hotel Bed and Breakfast 57
Day 2 Les-Brenets - La Chaux-de-Fonds
Depart for Les-Brenets, a short distance of only 70 kilometers, taking just over 1 hour to arrive in Les-Brenets. Here, you will enjoy a cruise along the Swiss-French border river named the Doubs River. This is a small, peaceful, lovely town, free of crowds of tourists.
It is perfectly suited for those who truly love peace and quiet. Begin the boat ride at the Doubs River pier; during the cruise, you will witness the landscape of forests and rocky cliffs winding gracefully along the route to Saut Du Doubs pier. Stop to visit the Saut du Doubs waterfall before cruising back to spend the night in Les-Brenets.
If time permits, you can visit the UNESCO World Heritage town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, which is just half an hour away. This town is renowned as the "Watchmaking Capital of the World" and is home to the International Watch Museum or International Museum of Horology (MIH). The highlight of this town is its remarkably distinctive, beautifully organized, and unique urban grid layout.

Day 3 Fribourg - Kandersteg
Today, we take you to visit Fribourg, just 1 and a half hours away at a distance of 75 kilometers. Fribourg is an ancient town that fully preserves its medieval character, to the point that many have dubbed it Switzerland's city of knights. Its atmosphere may differ slightly from other towns in the country that emphasize nature, as it is relatively large and features architecture leaning more towards German style.
Fribourg has the Sarine River flowing through it, characterized by tiered elevations sloping from the hills down to the river, creating a truly unique and picturesque landscape. Combined with its charming architecture, walking around this town never feels tiring or boring, even though strolling up and down requires a bit of physical energy due to the varied elevations of the town.
Afterward, we take you on a journey to Kandersteg, a picture-postcard small town nestled within the canton of Bern. We take you to admire 2 of the town's famous lakes. You can board a train at Kandersteg railway station to view the emerald-green lake at Blausee.
Blausee is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Although the lake is very small, its beauty is truly breathtaking. In the afternoon, head up to Oeschinensee to admire the stunning lake nestled in the valley. You can also experience the Rodelbahn alpine slide down the mountain. This mountain lake is open to visitors only during summer, from late May until late October each year.

Day 4 Morgins Village-Zermatt
Depart to visit Morgins Village, a mountain valley village where His Majesty the King traveled to ski during his youth. In the book "A Little Boss - A Young King," Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana noted that the weather during that visit was poor and cloudy, allowing for very little skiing, so in subsequent years they traveled to ski elsewhere instead.
Morgins Village sits at approximately 1,400 meters above sea level. While it may not be as high as Switzerland's most famous peaks, its quiet, modest charm easily wins travelers' hearts. Most visitors here are Europeans who come for skiing; Asian tourists are very rarely seen.
In the afternoon, depart to spend the night in Zermatt, a journey of 138 kilometers taking about 2 hours and 10 minutes.
Overnight Zermatt : · example hotel Antares **** (first night)
Day 5 Zermatt
Wake up early in Zermatt, a car-free town with delightfully fresh air, to witness the grandeur of the Matterhorn. As one of the most famous peaks in the world, this iconic pyramid-shaped mountain in the Alps straddles the border between Switzerland and Italy, reaching a height of 4,478 meters. The scenic train ride up to view the Matterhorn offers spectacular vistas all along the way.
Overnight Zermatt : · example hotel Antares **** (second night)
Day 6 Valle Verzasca, Lugano
Today, we depart on a 165-kilometer journey taking just over 3 hours to visit the emerald stream of Valle Verzasca (Verzasca Valley), located in Canton Ticino. Admire the stunning stone arch bridge, Ponte dei Salti, stroll through the historic village, and take in the crystal-clear emerald-green waters below.
In the afternoon, we will take you to Lugano, about an hour away. Lugano is a popular resort getaway for the Swiss, offering a lovely blend of Swiss and Italian atmospheres. Being Switzerland's southernmost city bordering northern Italy, it features Lake Lugano along the border. Surrounded by numerous mountains and nestled right along the lake shores, Lugano has become a premier travel destination during the warm summer season.
Overnight Lugano : · example hotel Continental Parkhotel (Comfort) ***
Day 7 Appenzell- St.Gallen - Zurich
Today, we will take you to northeastern Switzerland, a journey of 223 kilometers (about 3 hours). Take the cable car from Ebenalp cable car station to explore the unseen cliffside beauty of Aescher Hotel (Berggasthaus Aescher-Wildkirchli) in the Appenzell region, which is open exclusively during the summer season from May 1 to November 1 only.
Next, we will take you to the nearby candy-colored old town of Appenzell, a charming small town full of vibrant colors where you can take wonderful photos amidst the surrounding scenery. If time permits, you may choose to visit the charming town of St. Gallen to see its famous historic abbey library, Stiftsbibliothek—one of the most celebrated in Switzerland—and admire the Roman Catholic cathedral standing prominently in town.
Afterward, depart for Zurich (96km : 1h 41m).
