Tour Program
DAY 1
Arrive | Exclusive Zurich and Basel metropolis
Stay overnight at the former monastery, today transformed into a hotel and cultural event site. Experience the charm of this historic landmark.
DAY 2
Epic places | Nature Spectacle & Picturesque Island
It took millions of years of erosion for the giant natural amphitheatre that is the Creux de Van to form in Jura mountains – epic and monumental. The 160 metre high curving vertical cliff is a haven for ibex, marmots, birds of prey and many other species of wildlife. This day out will stay in your mind as an unforgettable experience – pure emotions!
