Very beautiful views of surroundings as you went from 70 degree spring/summer weather to 30 degree winter/snow conditions in 30 minutes on this amazing cable car. Loved I was able to experience the Alps this way on my one and only trip to Switzerland.

This tour was amazing! It ran like clockwork, whole group kept together but we also had “free” time to explore on our own. Vladimir, our guide was wonderful, so informative, calm and reassuring. Su Lyn was so lovely and helpful too.

Tour guides were lovely, they made sure everyone stayed together and explained everything throughly. It was a great way to spend the day outside of Zurich.
