With our day-trips to Ticino from Zürich with a chauffeur, you reach the south of Switzerland without ever taking the wheel. In a private Mercedes V-Class we collect you from your front door and take you door to door over the Gotthard into the sunny corner of the country. The transfer is always included, the price is agreed in advance as a fixed sum, and you set the pace. No hunting for parking, no timetables, just a relaxed and scenic drive.

Seven destinations in Ticino from Zürich

We serve seven popular destinations in Ticino. These include the Mediterranean lakeside towns of Ascona and Locarno on Lago Maggiore, the historic castle town of Bellinzona, and the wild, unspoilt Verzasca valley with its emerald river pools. If you are looking for an Italian atmosphere, head to Lake Lugano, and for a piece of natural history the Monte San Giorgio is well worth the journey.

The Gotthard Panorama Express can also be combined with a chauffeur: we bring you to the starting point, you enjoy the route, and we collect you again or wait on call. That keeps the whole day flexible and entirely shaped around your wishes.

Door to door over the Gotthard

The drive into Ticino is part of the experience. Instead of sitting behind the wheel, you settle into the V-Class and watch the landscape shift from the alpine north into the Mediterranean south. Your chauffeur knows the route and ensures a calm, safe journey.

Once you arrive, nobody is parking kilometres away. You step out exactly where you want to be, and the chauffeur waits on site or returns on call as soon as you are ready to move on.

You set the pace

A day in Ticino follows no fixed schedule. Would you like to linger longer on the lakeshore at Ascona, take a detour into the Verzasca valley, or explore the old town of Bellinzona at your leisure? You set the rhythm and we follow it. There are no departure times to keep to and no worry about the last connection home in the evening.

This private service suits couples, families and small groups just as well as special occasions such as a birthday, an anniversary, or a carefree day for two. In the V-Class you travel in comfort and with plenty of space.

Ticino in every season

Ticino rewards a visit all year round. In spring and summer the warm lakes, the palm-lined promenades and the bathing spots of the Verzasca valley beckon. In autumn the valleys turn golden and the castles of Bellinzona look especially striking. Even in winter, when the north is grey, you often enjoy milder days here and the soft southern light.

Because the transfer is included and your chauffeur waits for you, there is nothing for you to organise. You concentrate on Ascona, Locarno, Lake Lugano or one of the other destinations while we take care of the rest.
