Walking along the ridge line from Klingenstock to Fronalpstock is one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring walks I have completed; the scenery here dwarfs that of the Lake District, and most places you're able to walk in the UK. Riding the fernicular at 110% is also an incredible experience - what a superb feat of engineering. From there, we took the chairlift to Klingenstock and then began our walk along the ridge line. You can walk the other way but this way is arguably the more challenging and more rewarding - the view before us was much better than that behind us. It's a truly breathtaking and wonderful view but it does come with a hefty price tag - the fernicular and access to the chair lifts aren't cheap. Take your own lunch to save some pennies!

Very nice place for skiing or having some fun on the sledge. It is a short distance from Zürich for some fun in the snow. Parking available.

I went on a friday afternoon to hoch ybrig to ride the known Sternsauser zipline. When arriving in the valley aerial cable car station it was like I was the only one there. Had a huge gondola for myself alone on the way up. Next I took the chairlift to the starting point of the zipline. At 13:30 the operators arrived and opened the attraction, then they gave the instructions how to ride. There was no waiting in line, even though the weather was perfect. They are very friendly and seem enjoying their job (before somebody rides it, the operator rides down to the finish to await the rider. If you got a backpack you can put it on one of the hooks on the chairlift to transport it down. The zipline goes over a large treeless field, which is in winter a ski slope, then over a forest before the middle section. For me it was worth the 70chfr to ride the zipline, it is just awesome. It is great for people who want a good thrill at a quiet and calm place without mass tourism in summer. The Resort Hoch Ybrig is more known for snow sports.

Alpamare, a huge water park, is located 30 minutes outside the city. With its 12 waterslides and a total length of 2100m it is the biggest water park of Switzerland. It’s open year-round, and there are all kinds of aquatic attractions, from slides to thermal pools to underwater music and even a meandering river.

I took my daughter to Alpamare for her 8th birthday, we both had a fantastic time, the facilities are clean, the slides are really fast and the staff are friendly. Prior to visiting Alpamare I had read a few reviews claiming it to be unsafe which i completely disagree with. There are clear safety signs displayed where required and if you have a bit of common sense the waterpark is safe and a lot of fun. Too many activities are ruined by overly cautious rules tailored to a small minority lacking common sense, it's great to see Alpamare haven't taken this approach. We will return!
