Switzerland · FARMS
This is the shortlist to send a friend: 5 farm visits worth the francs, with what each costs, what travellers said and the thing to check before you commit.
Zurich day trip with a farm milk stop, Appenzeller cheese tasting, and a Hoher Kasten cable car ride for Alpine views.
“It was great. Had a good variety of stops. Loved the dairy farm. Small group which made it more fun. Guide was very good.”
Glide through Interlaken’s Bernese Oberland by e-bike, tour Unterseen and the Aare, stop at Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, then sample farm milk.
“This bike tour was not a main highlight of my trip. It was a great way to get out of the main village, but it was not a tour I would do again or recommend to a friend(maybe a different company)”
Zurich to Appenzell small-group day trip with a farm milk stop, Stein AR cheese tasting, Hoher Kasten cable car views, and artisan chocolate.
“Guide (Gallus) was kind and very knowledgeable. Enjoyed meeting the various local merchants and the trip to the farm and understanding that aspect of life in the Appenzall region. Beautiful views from the mid-day trip up the mountain. Great easy way to be able to visit Appenzall and the region with transportation through the tour.”
Experience a Swiss alpine dairy farm in Interlaken with breakfast, cheese tasting, and a hands-on cheesemaking workshop plus a whey bath.
“Intimate and enjoyable experience at a family farm learning how alpine cheese is made and participating in the process. Delicious breakfast too! Sandra was a terrific guide. Highly recommend.”
Private Mt. Rigi hike with a farm visit and BBQ lunch, plus a 360-view summit and a scenic boat return to Lucerne.
“We like seeing hidden gems when on vacation and this was definitely one. We loved getting to hike on some lesser traveled pass and get up close and personal to the roaming cows. Having Mark do a bbq in one of the outposts was a wonderful and unique experience. Taking the ferry back was an unexpected bonus that allowed the trip to really show all aspects of the area.”
Every kind of Swiss day out, and the best of each.
