Day-trips from Zürich with a chauffeur into the Lucerne & Central Switzerland region bring together mountain panoramas, lakes and historic old towns for one relaxed day. We collect you at home or at your hotel and drive you in a Mercedes V-Class, door to door. The transfer is always included, the price is fixed and agreed in advance, and you set the pace: no hunting for parking, no timetables, no changing trains. Your chauffeur waits on site or returns on call the moment you wish to move on.

Discovering Lucerne & Central Switzerland from Zürich

We serve fourteen destinations across Central Switzerland, from Lucerne's old town on Lake Lucerne to the great passes around Andermatt and the Gotthard. You choose one destination or combine several into your own route, such as Lucerne & Rigi in a single day. We take care of the road, you enjoy the view.

The drive itself is part of the experience. Over the Klausen Pass, the Susten Pass and Lake Brienz, or on the classic Furka-Susten-Grimsel loop, the landscape unfolds right outside your window, calm and unhurried. If you prefer to stay down by the water, we drive you along the shores of Lake Lucerne.

Mountains, lakes and passes

Central Switzerland is the heart of the classic Swiss mountain world. Pilatus and Rigi, Lucerne's two local peaks, pair beautifully with a trip across the lake. Stanserhorn, Stoos & Fronalpstock, Brunni and Klewenalp & Brienzer Rothorn offer wide views, while Engelberg sits nestled among the summits.

For those who love mountain passes, the Gotthard Pass and the Klausen Pass round-trip are a highlight. Andermatt & Gotthard combine alpine character with history. Because the transfer is included and your chauffeur handles the winding roads, you arrive relaxed and can give your full attention to the mountains.

Who the day suits

Whether a couple, a family or a small group, guests visiting from abroad or marking a special occasion: in the Mercedes V-Class you travel in comfort with room for everyone. You step in where it suits you and need not worry about a thing. On days with a hike, a cogwheel railway to a summit or a lake cruise, the return on call is a genuine comfort.

First-time visitors are in good hands too. Your chauffeur knows the routes and adapts the pace and the pauses to your wishes, rather than following a rigid schedule.

Every season has its appeal

Summer draws you to the passes, lakes and high pastures; autumn lights up the forests above Lake Lucerne; and winter shows the mountains around Engelberg and Stoos under snow. As you are not tied to timetables, the trip can be shaped entirely around the weather and the mood of the day.
