Full Description

Discover the beauty and rich culture of Switzerland with our private excursion package. Your driver-guide will meet you at your hotel lobby in Zurich or Lucerne, and you’ll set off on an exciting adventure to Saint Gallen, nestled between Lake Constance and Appenzellerland. Enjoy the picturesque views of the Swiss countryside from the comfort of your private vehicle.

Your first stop is Saint Gallen, where you’ll delve into its fascinating history dating back to the early 6th century when it was established by the Irish monk Gallus.
Next, venture to Saint Gallen’s highlight, the baroque Abbey Library, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983. Admire its distinctive architecture, vibrant painted oriel windows, and ornate Rococo interior. The library houses over two thousand manuscripts from the 8th-15th centuries, including early German literature.

Continuing your journey, arrive in Appenzell, nestled in northeastern Switzerland, at the base of the Alpstein Mountains. Enjoy leisurely exploration of the picturesque town, with its elaborately decorated facades, traditional dwellings, and shops offering local wares. Immerse yourself in the cultural and religious traditions of the region at the Appenzell Museum, housed within the Town Hall.

For those seeking an elevated experience, opt for an excursion to Mount Säntis, where a cable car ride offers panoramic vistas. It’s a spectacle not to be missed!

After the excursion, return to your hotel feeling rejuvenated and inspired, with cherished memories of this remarkable journey. Be sure to capture some breathtaking photos to reminisce on this unforgettable experience.
