Day Trips From Zurich

Mt. Titlis is just legendary. I went solo and met some cooool folks on the bus. Chair lift is wild (not for the faint-hearted lol). Cliff walk is a must, and the air is so fresh up there. Cafe at the summit does a killer apple strudel. Staff was friendly, answered my random questions about Swiss cheese. Would do again!

We took the kids (9 & 12) and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. The cable car ride up had them glued to the windows, and the spinning gondola was a hit. I was worried they’d be cold (it’s ice and snow even in summer!) but there’s a cozy cafe at the top where we defrosted with hot chocolate. The Cliff Walk was a bit nerve-wracking for me, but my husband and kids basically raced across. We didn’t make it on the Skyflyer—line was massive by 11am. If you have kids, bring gloves (wish someone told me that). Also, lots of souvenir shops for last minute gifts. Would recommend for families, just start early!

Went solo, mostly for Liechtenstein, but Heidiland surprised me—SO GREEN, like something out of a storybook. Our guide Anna was super patient with all my random questions. Crowd was bigger than I hoped (esp after lunch), and we had to hustle a bit at the end to get back to the bus. Wish I could’ve stayed longer in Vaduz, but all in all, worth it for the castle views and that quirky post office stamp!

Did this with my partner and our two teens—they were grumpy early but perked up at the castle in Vaduz. LOVED the countryside drive, honestly the views are EPIC. Our guide, Hans, had the best dad jokes (my kids rolled their eyes, I laughed). Only downside, not enough time to poke around Heidiland's farm area, but still got some cute goat pics. Highly recommend for families.
