The private tour starts with a visit to a Swiss village in the canton of Uri, which lies directly on Lake Lucerne. A breath of southern flair comes upon us with the palm trees, fig trees and vines. At the same time, the view of the imposing mountain peaks combined with the rushing water is simply dreamlike.
3
We visit a historically important village next to Altdorf, where our national hero Willhelm Tel was born (he shot an apple from the head of his son). We are going to discover buildings which are almost 900 years old and can visit an incredibly beautiful church.
4
Diverse stops along the way towards Klausenpass in the Swiss Alps. We are going to discover hidden valleys, glacial rivers and viewpoints. Also a hike to our favorite village of Switzerland is possible (around 2*45min).
5
Drive along the Klausenpass where we do various stops to enjoy the views, visiting one of our favorite cheese factories in Switzerland and cook a traditional raclette in the wild nature. In summer you can see over 1000 cows on the meadows.

Visit of a hidden waterfall in the UNESCO World Heritage Sardona. Here, you will have the rare opportunity to walk behind the cascading water and immerse yourself in its splendor.
