Itinerary
Your tour begins at Sihlquai Bus Station in Zürich
Meet your guide at the Sihlquai coach terminal before boarding. Breathe in the crisp morning air, then sink into your seat as the city fades and Lake Zürich starts to glint through the windows.
Cruise the Lake Zürich shoreline toward the small town of Rapperswil
Glide past waterfront promenades, sailboats, and postcard villages as the route hugs the lake. Along the way, your guide tees up the day’s itinerary, from medieval castle views to monastery grandeur.
Roam Rapperswil’s old town, rose gardens, and castle hill
Arrive into Rapperswil to wander cobblestone lanes and small squares, then climb toward Rapperswil Castle to take in sweeping lake panoramas. Linger in the rose gardens in season, and let the “City of Roses” nickname click into place.
Step into Einsiedeln Abbey and behold the Black Madonna
Then, trade lakeside views for pilgrimage history as you arrive in Einsiedeln town. Inside the Benedictine monastery, take in the Baroque richness and observe the Black Madonna, a 15th-century figure that has drawn travelers here for centuries.
Savor Swiss cheesemaking at Milchmanufaktur (Milk factory) with a tasting
Next, arrive at the show dairy and start with a welcome drink before watching the journey of milk turned to craft. Enjoy a tasting of Swiss cheeses, and browse the shop for house-made specialties to bring home.
