Around Zürich · EVENING EXPERIENCES
Switzerland charges properly for its days out, so it is worth knowing which are worth it. Here are 9 evening experiences, each with its cost, its traveller verdict and the one thing to check before booking.
Moonlit night sledding near Interlaken, guided for safety, with sled, gondola ticket, and transport included. 3 hours in the Alps.
“Amazing!! It was so fun and wet. I would recommend wear clothes thats water proof, especially shoes. If you dont have any then thats okay, you can rent some at the meet point. Also pad up your butt and upper body. Me and the wife fell a couple times off the for going shake n bake fast.”
1.5-hour Lucerne tour with a night watchman guide, starting at Chapel Bridge, mixing medieval stories, law and war for $39.
“Excellent tour guide, he gave the nice ambient and was very open to any question.”
A small-group Zurich sunset coach tour with Lindt chocolate shopping, a cable car ride to Felsenegg, and a 4-course all-you-can-eat cheese fondue.
“Peter (guide) was outstanding! It was obvious that he loves what he does and he cares about his passengers. His insights on the city and sense of humour made the tour very special and memorable.”
Night sledding near Interlaken with a cable car ride, a guide, and a one-hour descent on real Alpine slopes under the stars.
“Learning to toboggan was fun but I was under the impression it was a maintained trail with lights along the side and a groomed path. It’s truly an unlit path in the woods. We didn’t have a clear night so it was hard to see where you were going and we had to walk a lot because the fresh snow slowed down the trail. It’s a coin toss: if you have a clear night I bet it’s more fun. The lights in the photos are what the guides have you wear so they can find you. You wear them on your back so it doesn’t help you see. One guide…”
Sunset hike in Wengen near Lauterbrunnen with traditional cheese fondue dinner, Swiss chocolates, and English guide, small group of 12.
“Weronika was one of the best guides we have ever had! We have been on countless guided tours but she keeps you engaged and gives so much great information about the region while on the hike and allows for places to take great pictures. At first we thought it may be a bit expensive but by the end we both agreed it was well worth it. The fondue was the best we had on our trip in Switzerland too! Do not hesitate to book this experience!”
A one-hour night watchman walk from Lindenhof in Zurich Old Town, mixing gruesome medieval tales with laughs by St. Peter's Church. $19
Night sledding above Interlaken with a guided moonlit run and a traditional Swiss fondue meal, including transport and a gondola ticket.
“Hosts made everyone comfortable, it was really well organised and great fun! We were grateful to go sledding at night when the slopes weren't so busy”
A private Lucerne night photography walk with a pro guide, Chapel Bridge reflections, Lake Lucerne views, and castle angles, with tips included.
“Ezra our guide took us to places that were perfect for photography and off of the usual tourist spots He was engaging and made the experience very enjoyable”
Private 9 pm mini boat tour on Lake Zurich, with night sights from Enge to Old Town, photo stops, and a chance to steer.
“The evening boat tour was the highlight of a wonderful day in Zurich!”
The mountains, the water, the food and the city itself — and the best of each.
