Lake Zurich

Lake Zurich

For a fun and relatively inexpensive way to spend a day, take the morning train from Zurich through Bern to Interlaken. Spend a few hours wandering around the village, hike up to the church above the town, then get back on the train and head the other direction back to Zurich through Lucerne, Get off in Lucerne, wander around the lake a bit, have a beer along the river, then get back on the train to Zurich. You will see lovely little villages, the goegeous countryside and beautiful views of the Alps.

Mt. Stanserhorn

Edit This

If you are visiting Lucerne, Switzerland you must take a trip to the top of Mt. Stanserhorn.  There is a comfortable and friendly cable car service that takes you to the top of this beautiful Swiss Alp.  With an amazing view of Lake Lucerne from the top, this really is a "pinch yourself" kind of moment.

Bike the Lake in Zurich

Edit This

At the main train station you can borrow bicycles for free, basic models but great for cruising around the city. Take the road along the lake about 10 miles down to the ferry terminal, ride across the lake for just a couple of dollars (beautiful view of the mountains and city) and back to Zurich. The lake is too big to go all the way around in a day unless you are training for the Tour de France.
