Around Zürich · WINTER ACTIVITIES
Good winter activities sell out in the summer weeks and run thin in the shoulder season. Below: the 15 to book first, and what separates them.
Winter kayak on Lake Brienz from Bönigen. Small group, dry suits, Ringgenberg Castle views, plus guided paddle lessons in English.

From Zurich to Lucerne and Titlis: beginner ski day at Trübsee, Rotair views, Glacier Cave, cliff walk, and snow tubing.
“Overall, it was a good experience. The scenery throughout the trip was beautiful, and visiting Lucerne was definitely a highlight, such a charming place to explore with a really scenic route getting there. However, the skiing portion felt quite disorganised. We were only given about an hour for the ski session, and the schedule was tight because we had to head back to the bus shortly after. It also wasn’t clearly explained where we needed to go for the skiing activity, so we ended up having to figure things out on our own. Despite that, the day as a whole was enjoyable, especially the chance to see Lucerne and the…”

“From start to finish it was great time. The check-in was easy, the staff was incredibly nice, and the facilities for waiting & getting your equipment was really cool. Out tour guide Constantine was very knowledgeable and gave us a great tour - we highly recommend him!! Due to avalanche risks in general in Switzerland I was so impressed with how they responded to my email about how they handle this, how carefully they monitored the situation and had backup plans and still took us on a very safe and beautiful snow shoe hike. Thanks so much - we will definitely use this company again!!”
Private 42-minute Swiss Alps helicopter tour over Jungfraujoch, Schilthorn, Eiger, Interlaken, Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, for up to 3.
“The helicopter tour over the Swiss Alps was an incredible experience and well worth the cost. The check-in process was smooth, safety instructions were clear, and the staff were friendly and professional. Our pilot Oliver was knowledgeable, pointing out major peaks such as the Matterhorn, Jungfrau, and Mont Blanc, and he gave interesting background on the surrounding regions. The flight itself was very comfortable, with large windows providing excellent visibility from every seat. The entire route offered breathtaking views of glaciers, lakes, and mountain villages, and there were plenty of opportunities for photos. The ride felt safe at all times, and noise-cancelling headsets made communic...”

One day from Zurich to Lucerne and Mt Titlis, with Trübsee lake nature breaks, the Rotair revolving cable car, ice caves, and cliff views.
“Poor communication from tour operator made me miss the tour. I asked the other operators in the terminal and said they don’t have physical office so I have to ask around. And I ended up asking most buses there and missing them. That’s when I tried to call them but can’t connect. Then I sent them messages and they replied 11 mins past the scheduled departure.”
