Highlights in the Zürich Region
|
|
Zürich is more than a city experience. Why not explore the region around Zürich, for example, on a panorama hike at 2,000 meters above sea level or a visit to Europe's largest waterfall, the Rhine Falls? Winter sport enthusiasts are also spoilt for choice, with a varied selection of attractive ski areas in the vicinity. And all less than an hour’s drive from the city, not to mention quickly and easily reachable by public transport.
