This enchanting morning tour takes you on a scenic route to the stunning Rhine Falls! See the medieval Castle Laufen, situated directly above the falls, and feel the roar and vibration of Europe’s biggest cascades from the panoramic trails and viewing platforms.
Sit back and relax on a comfortable coach while listening to your multilingual guide introduce Switzerland’s interesting history and culture. We’ll drive through the picturesque landscape with gently rolling vineyards and charming villages, ultimately arriving at the splendid medieval Castle Laufen!
Enjoy approximately one hour of leisure time at the mighty Rhine Falls, one of Switzerland’s major attractions.
Delight in unique views of Europe’s biggest waterfall from the panoramic lift and see how an average of 700,000 liters of water per second plunge across a width of 150 meters into the basin below.
A beautiful, short stroll on the Belvedere panoramic trail takes you to the viewing platform right above the falls where you will feel the spindrift of the rumbling waters.
Capture stunning photographs of the cataract, the fizzy waters of the basin below, and the natural beauty of the surrounding area.
