Description

Meet your guide in Zurich and travel comfortably in a modern VW Transporter van to the charming village of Wasserauen – the starting point of your adventure. Begin your hike on a well-marked alpine trail, surrounded by lush meadows, crisp mountain air, and the gentle sound of cowbells. The ascent takes about 45–60 minutes at a comfortable pace, allowing plenty of time for photo stops and to soak in the spectacular views of the Appenzell region. As you climb, you’ll be rewarded with ever-changing panoramas – rolling green hills giving way to dramatic peaks, crystal-clear streams, and wildflowers in bloom during the warmer months. Arrive at Seealpsee, a mountain lake famous for its emerald-green waters and reflection of the Säntis mountain. Enjoy some free time to walk along the shoreline, dip your feet in the cool alpine water, or simply relax and take in the peaceful scenery. For those who wish, there’s the option to visit the charming mountain restaurants nearby, serving hearty local specialties such as Rösti, alpine cheese, and fresh dairy products. Your private guide will ensure the pace and itinerary match your interests – whether you prefer a gentle walk around the lake, a picnic in nature, or a quiet moment to capture stunning photographs. As this is a private tour, the experience is entirely tailored to you and your group. After enjoying the magic of Seealpsee, follow the trail back down to Wasserauen, where your van will be waiting to take you back to Zurich. Throughout the journey, hear local stories, cultural insights, and fun facts about Swiss alpine traditions.
