Monte San Giorgio Tour from Zurich with Chauffeur

Your private chauffeur picks you up at your home or hotel at the time you choose and brings you door to door into southern Ticino, to the foot of Monte San Giorgio above Lake Lugano. This private journey from Zurich takes you to one of the most significant fossil sites in the world: a UNESCO World Heritage site whose rock layers have preserved life in a tropical sea from around 240 million years ago. From the lakeside village of Meride, the pyramid-shaped mountain reveals itself on foot, past silent chestnut forests, traces of old quarries, and views that reach far beyond the bay of Lugano. In the village itself, the Fossil Museum brings tangibly to life the petrified saurians and sea creatures that give the mountain its scientific standing. While you discover, savor, or hike at your own pace, your chauffeur waits discreetly and remains ready for short legs of the day, such as to a viewpoint or down to the lake. Admission to the museum and any mountain railways are paid directly on site; we take care of the calm, safe outbound journey and return. A day for everyone who wishes to experience nature and the history of the Earth away from the crowds.
