Step into the world created by Johanna Spyri and discover the landscapes that inspired Heidi on this enchanting family day trip from Zurich. From comfort to discovery, let yourself be guided through this journey by your private driver with local knowledge.
The drive from Zurich to Bad Ragaz takes you from the city’s urban energy into increasingly scenic Swiss landscapes, passing Lake Zurich and rolling countryside framed by distant Alpine peaks. As you enter the Rhine Valley, the scenery becomes more dramatic as you approach the region linked to Johanna Spyri’s Heidi, where the story’s landscapes begin to emerge.
From Bad Ragaz, take the Pizolbahn gondola up to Pardiel at around 1,633 metres above sea level. Here, the Heidi Trail begins, a 4 km circular route, featuring interactive stations, a playground, barefoot paths, and stunning mountain views. After this experience, head to the Panorama Restaurant Edelweiss for lunch.
Continue to Heididorf, a charming storybook village where Heidi’s world comes to life. Discover traditional houses, interactive exhibits, and an authentic alpine atmosphere that makes this visit truly magical for the whole family.
At the end of a day filled with discovery, your private driver will return you to Zurich, leaving you with lasting memories of Switzerland’s most beloved fictional character, known for her warmheartedness and love of the mountains.
