Day Trips

Day trips from Zürich by chauffeur mean one thing: you step in at your own front door and leave the rest to us. SWIVON takes you door to door in a Mercedes V-Class to more than 80 destinations across Switzerland and just over the border. The transfer is always included, the price is agreed in advance, and you travel privately, never in a group. No hunting for parking, no timetables, no changing trains. You set the pace, and the chauffeur waits on site or returns on call.

Over 80 destinations across twelve regions

Our day trips are organised into twelve regions so you can quickly find what suits you. These include Luzern and Central Switzerland, the Bernese Oberland, Graubünden, Valais, Ticino, the Lake Geneva region, the Jura and Three Lakes region, Aargau, Eastern Switzerland and Lake Constance, Zürich and its surroundings, the destinations close to the border, and Basel and Northwestern Switzerland. Whether a short half-day outing or a grand panoramic drive south, the chauffeur knows the loveliest approach.

That is how you reach classics such as the Jungfraujoch, the Rigi, Pilatus, Titlis and Stoos without any stress. Luzern and Lake Lucerne, Interlaken, the Bernina Express, Lake Como, Appenzell, Stein am Rhein, Lavaux and Montreux are all within reach. You choose the destination, and we take care of the way there.

By theme rather than by checklist

Alongside the regions, we sort the day trips by theme so your day matches your mood. For the views there are mountains and summits, for calm there are lakes and nature, and for curiosity there are towns and culture. If you wish to indulge, the Genuss theme brings wine, chocolate and cheese. Then come castles and UNESCO sites, grand panoramic journeys with the Bernina, the Glacier and the GoldenPass, and international destinations such as Lake Como, Milan and the Black Forest.

This makes the choice easy. You decide whether a day by the water, a summit panorama or a stroll through an old town is the right setting, and you put your outing together as you please. Everything stays private, and everything stays at your pace.

What a private day out feels like

The difference shows on the day itself. Instead of standing at the station early, you are collected at home or at your hotel. The drive is part of the experience, because the chauffeur takes the most scenic route and knows the spots where a short stop is worthwhile. At your destination you step out, and the car waits or returns on call when you wish to move on.

You set the rhythm. A longer lunch, an extra viewpoint, a spontaneous detour: all of it is possible, because no one is pushing you towards a departure time. In the evening SWIVON brings you home in comfort, with no traffic stress behind the wheel and no worry about the last train.

Who day trips suit

A private day trip fits many occasions. Families enjoy the ease with no luggage to carry and no changes to make, couples enjoy a quiet day together, and small groups travel as one in the same vehicle. Guests from abroad also see more of Switzerland in a single day than public connections could ever allow.

Our outings work equally well as a gift or as a special day for an anniversary, a birthday or a corporate occasion. Those who have experienced the comfort once value above all that the whole day runs without any organising on their part. There is nothing to plan but the destination.

Every season has its appeal

Switzerland is worthwhile all year round, and the chauffeur brings you to the right destination at the right time. In winter the drives lead to snow and summits on the Rigi, Pilatus or Stoos. In spring and summer, Lake Lucerne, Interlaken and Lavaux beckon with water, vines and sun. Autumn colours Appenzell and Ticino, and Lake Como makes for a mild day just over the border.

Because you travel privately, you stay flexible. With changeable weather the destination can be adjusted, and a clear day can be used at short notice for the great panorama. That freedom only exists when the car and the chauffeur are there for you throughout the day.

Your outing, planned in advance and fixed

With every day trip you know in advance what to expect. The transfer is included, the price is fixed, and the day follows your wishes. You choose a region or a theme, we recommend the finest route and take care of the rest. Browse the destinations above and request your preferred day with no obligation. We will reply with a clear proposal and plan the day that suits you.
