Appenzell Alps Day Trip from Zurich – Farm Life & Cheese Tasting - Stein Farm Stop: Fresh Milk First, Then the Day Has a Theme

1.Appenzell Alps Day Trip from Zurich – Farm Life & Cheese Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 148 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $245Our pick

Zurich day trip to Appenzell: farm milk tastings, Appenzeller cheese at a show dairy, and Hoher Kasten cable car views.

“A good trip if you want to escape from Zurich city. Cheese factory and farm visit was nice. However, after that the appenzelle city tour was boring and we literally had nothing to do. The trip to Hohen Kaster mountain was also very boring. Instead of this, they could have taken us to Aescher which was more interesting. Some activities should have been included in the second half part of the trip to avoid boring walks. Our guide Monica was awesome and she did everything in her capacity to keep us engaged”

“Fun day, lots to visit. Small group tour, was only 4 of us so we could be more flexible with our time at each place. The countryside is lovely and Hoher Kasten had amazing views. The revolving restaurant was nice for lunch”

3.Private Guided Hike on Mt. Rigi with Farm Visit and BBQ

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $789Top rated

Private guided Mt. Rigi hike with farm visit and BBQ, plus a ferry ride back to Lucerne. Early start, big 360 views.

“We like seeing hidden gems when on vacation and this was definitely one. We loved getting to hike on some lesser traveled pass and get up close and personal to the roaming cows. Having Mark do a bbq in one of the outposts was a wonderful and unique experience. Taking the ferry back was an unexpected bonus that allowed the trip to really show all aspects of the area.”
