This was our second ride on this train. decided to take a winter trip with all the snow as a backdrop with great views. Took the train from Tiefencastle to Brig via Chur. Take your camera for some great pictures. The carriages are very comfortable with plenty of space. You can walk to the restaurant car for a drink or receive table service.

Chris has organized amazing trip around central Switerland for our VIP family of 5. He paid attention to every detail and was extremely helpful. Without him, planning this trip could be very problematic. He also made a surprise for girls' birthdays offering them customized chocolate. He is also very knowledgeable and kind person. Highly recommended!

This was absolutely delightful. We couldn't have had a better time,due to our incredible guide,Ulrich. He was very knowledgeable and respectful of our intentions. He made the long ride entertaining as well as educational. We would definitely use his service again. Our only issue was trying to reach your office by phone a couple of days before our trip to confirm and not being able to reach anyone. This created undo stress and it totally unacceptable and needs to be addressed. Thank you for our great guide. Maurice & Teena Nanoia

The ride on the nostalgic funicular and the world first CabriO to Mt Stanserhorn is unique. The wonderful view from the summit over whole central Switzerland will inspire you. We gently take off into the third dimension. The silent flight over mountains and lakes will be an unforgettable experience. Hang gliding comes closest to free flying like a bird. It is faster and more intense than paragliding. Whether fast and wild or just in peace, your pilot adapts to your wishes.

Inclusions: Equipment like helmet and harness

Exclusions: Cable car fees CHF 20.00 (for free with Swiss Travel Pass), pictures and videos available as an option CHF 30.00

Choose between a relaxing Paragliding Tandem flight or an adrenaline real Mountain Rollercoaster ride on a Speedriding run! Speedriding and speedflying are advanced disciplines of paragliding that use a small, high-performance paraglider wing to quickly descend heights such as mountains.

Inclusions: Paragliding equipment, High Res Camera and video editing service (extra cost)

Exclusions: Transportation tickets or skipass , Pick up service (on request only), Drop off (I can't guarantee drop off, since I might have other bookings later)

A wonderful combination of an old vintage funicular train which dates back to 1893 and the world's first and still only CabriO cable car. A splendid view onto a chain of 100 kilometers of the Swiss Alps and 10 Swiss lakes. Charming Rangers are leading the way around the summit trail. Culinary delights you will experience in the revolving restaurant.

Sometimes there simply isn't enough time to spend an entire day on magnificent Lake Lucerne, but for those moments we are pleased to offer convenient short cruises. These still allow you to enjoy the best of the lake and get a feel for the fantastic mountain landscape in the heart of the Swiss Alps. We recommend the round-trip journey from Lucerne to Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock and back aboard our elegant catamaran. Just stay on the ship when it docks at the Kehrsiten-Bürgenstock pier, for the immediate return to Lucerne. Snacks and drinks can be purchased at a vending machine on board.

Inclusions: Expert captain and crew, WiFi on board

We enjoyed our meal here. The cheese and meat tray was excellent as was the local (high end) wine. The veal Zurich style was very good. The sausage was sausage. The dessert was good as well. We did really enjoy the view, a nice view of the lake/channel.
