This full-day journey from Zurich explores two of eastern Switzerland’s most charming regions. In Heidiland, visit the famous Heidi Village above Maienfeld, where traditional wooden houses, Alpine pastures, and peaceful walking paths bring the beloved storey to life. Enjoy panoramic views over the Rhine Valley, surrounding vineyards, and the quiet rural landscape that inspired Johanna Spyri’s novel. Travelling onward through scenic valleys and lakes of eastern Switzerland, the tour continues to Appenzell, a town known for its colourful painted houses, artisan shops, and strong local traditions.

Heididorf

Heididorf, located above the village of Maienfeld in the region known as Heidiland, brings to life the world of Heidi, the famous novel by Swiss author Johanna Spyri. This small Alpine settlement reflects traditional mountain life of the 19th century, with wooden houses, flower gardens, and peaceful pastoral surroundings. The highlight is Heidi’s House, furnished in a simple historical style that shows how families once lived in the Alps. The area is also known for its sunny climate and vineyards, offering beautiful views over the Rhine Valley. Beyond the literary connection, Heididorf captures the essence of Swiss Alpine culture — simplicity, fresh mountain air, and a strong connection to nature.

Appenzell

Appenzell is one of Switzerland’s most traditional and charming towns, known for its colourful houses, strong local identity, and preserved customs. The high street, Hauptgasse, is lined with beautifully painted buildings that now host small family-run shops, cafés, and artisan stores. The region is famous for its community traditions and for Appenzeller cheese, produced using a secret herbal recipe passed down through generations. Surrounded by green hills and located at the foot of the Alpstein mountains, the town offers a picturesque setting that reflects rural Swiss life. Appenzell provides visitors with an authentic experience of local culture, craftsmanship, and the relaxed rhythm of eastern Switzerland.
