Description

Travel by train from Zurich, ride the cable car to Flumserberg, and enjoy a scenic boat trip on Walensee. A relaxed guided day trip perfect for families and nature lovers.
Join a relaxed and scenic day trip from Zurich to the beautiful Flumserberg and Walensee region.
Your journey begins with a comfortable train ride to Unterterzen. From there, the cable car whisk you up to Flumserberg (Tannenboden). Prepare to be speechless as you gaze upon the Churfirsten mountains—seven iconic, jagged peaks that rise dramatically from the deep blue waters of Lake Walensee. This is one of the most photographed and awe-inspiring panoramas in all of Switzerland. You’ll have free time to breathe in the crisp Alpine air and explore the mountain trails at your own pace.
After descending, the adventure continues on the water. A scenic boat ride takes you across the fjord-like Walensee to the hidden gem of Quinten. Accessible only by boat or on foot, this car-free village is a true "Swiss Riviera." Due to its unique sheltered location at the foot of the cliffs, Quinten enjoys a mild microclima where figs, kiwis, and grapes thrive. It’s a peaceful paradise where time seems to stand still.
Your host will ensure a seamless experience, allowing you to simply soak in the natural beauty. This easy-paced trip is the perfect escape for those wanting to discover the dramatic contrasts of the Swiss Alps without the stress of planning.
