The gentle Appenzell hills, the commanding presence of the Säntis, medieval little towns and the broad lakeshore lie closer than many people imagine.

The transfer is always included, the price is agreed in advance, and you set the pace of the day.

Trips to Eastern Switzerland and Lake Constance from Zürich with a chauffeur

Our destinations in this region range from the Appenzell countryside with the Ebenalp and the famous Aescher mountain inn, the Appenzell panorama drive and the Appenzeller show dairy, all the way up to the Säntis. Heidiland, Bad Ragaz with the Tamina Gorge, the turquoise Walensee and the UNESCO Tectonic Arena Sardona also invite discovery. Each destination can be booked on its own or combined into a route of your own.

Instead of worrying about parking, timetables or connections, you sit back and enjoy the drive. Your chauffeur brings you safely to your destination, waits on site or returns on call as soon as you wish to move on.

Culture, lakes and historic towns

Anyone who appreciates history and architecture will find plenty here: the baroque Abbey Library of St. Gallen is among the most impressive library halls in the world, and picturesque Stein am Rhein enchants with its painted facades along the river. Schaffhausen lies just a short walk from the Rhine Falls, the largest waterfall in Europe.

On Lake Constance itself, Konstanz tempts with its lively old town and the flower island of Mainau with its gardens. In the private V-Class you connect several of these places effortlessly in a single day, because the stretches between them become part of the experience rather than a burden.

A scenic and relaxed drive

The journey from Zürich is a pleasure in itself. Hills, vineyards and lakeshores gently give way to one another, and the large windows of the Mercedes V-Class open up the view across the landscape. In the air-conditioned interior you travel calmly and in comfort, without rush and without the stress of traffic behind the wheel.

This way of travelling suits couples and families just as much as business guests or small groups of friends. Whether a spring hike on the Ebenalp, a summer day at the Walensee, an autumn cheese and tasting tour in the Appenzell region or a clear winter day on the Säntis: every season shows Eastern Switzerland from a different side.
