Hike in a Fairytale Forest & Traditional Dinner
Today, you have the first half of the day at leisure. Take advantage of the free morning and walk the beautifully decorated streets, drink a mug of hot chocolate at one of the city’s winter fairs, do some Christmas shopping, and take in the unique atmosphere of festive Zurich.
And in the second half of the day, we have something special for you planned. How do hiking in a Swiss forest with flaming torches and fondue afterward sound like? Rest assured, we don’t mean a two-hour hike through the wilderness and mountains of snow with only the flickering torches to light the way and fend off the hungry wolves and a quick fondue over the open fire as a reward for those who made it till the end of the journey. We are talking about an easy half-hour walk through the fairytale wintery forest and a delicious three-course dinner in an atmospheric wooden chalet by the fire. An experienced guide will accompany you on the way to the chalet, where you will say your goodbyes. A return hike you will undertake by yourself, or we can arrange a private transfer for you for an additional cost.
After dinner, you have the rest of the evening free.

ZURICH CHRISTMAS TRAVEL TIPS
– One of Zurich’s unique Christmas elements is a Singing Tree concert, and you can find this must-visit sight at Werdmuhleplatz. As you can imagine, there is no actual singing flora involved. The stage that hosts the event is beautifully arranged and decorated to look like a Christmas tree, and the real stars are the talented performers and choirs from all around the region singing traditional Christmas carols and other popular songs every evening.
– Another interesting Christmas sight is the main attraction of Zurcher Christkindlimarkt, priding itself on being the biggest indoor Christmas market in Europe. Its main feature is a stunning Christmas tree adorned with an array of 5000 sparkling Swarovski Christmas ornaments, creating a magical atmosphere.
