The towering peak of the Matterhorn straddles Switzerland and Italy is an amazing mountain that everyone should have on their bucket list. One of the mountain's secrets is that it has an igloo village at the mountain's base.

Well worth the trip out here - we did the circuit hike. First half pretty steep up and a bit muddy. Most descriptions didn’t mention but there are quite a few places to have a meal on the way including the farm at the top, as well as to refill water. Also great scenic picnic spots so worth coming for the day.

Yes- that’s the description of this this activity on this tripadvisor page. It is about the complete general area. It is not about the specific place known as Jungfraujoch, “the top of Europe,” so stop writing about that. Now back to business- this is a fantastic scenic lovely panoramic breathtaking glorious region of majestic towering snow capped mountains ... and so many mountain trails, hikes and excursions. Suffice to say that the people who ask me why I keep returning every year are the people who have never been here. It’s so worth a visit. So look at my many photos!!

The highlight of our European holiday. Just outstanding the tour from Zurich via Lucerne to Mt Titlis just Devine. The mountain experience delightful we walked the glacier walk, across the suspension bridge and took a ride on the chairlift, we had the best weather, enjoyed a nice drink on the deck and took the rotating gondola ride down to the village. So recommended, expensive but once in a life time trip.
7. Zoo Zurich
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2,934 reviews
«People who know animals will protect them.» Up above the city of Zurich, spanning a surface of approximately 27 hectares, is Switzerland’s largest and most frequently visited cultural and educational institution: Zoo Zurich. The popular nationwide excursion destination wants to get people interested in animals and encourage them to play an active role in nature conservation and the protection of species.
Reviewed By Meike_Ka_9 - Zurich, Switzerland
I really like the Zoo Zurich it has a nice and not too big selection of animals including some very lovely koalas. Most of the enclosure seems spacious to me and my impression is that animals are in good condition as well. Every now and then they have volunteers explaining details about the animals and even on a rainy day there are enough houses to spend time inside
8. Lake Zurich

Reviewed By GrahamB67 - Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom
The 85 minute short cruise from Bürkliplatz to Thalwil is a relaxing way to see both sides of the lake. Excellent price for the trip, and food and drink on board was sensibly priced, too. Quite busy in the low season, as less boats are operating, so there were few spare seats
