Bern Day Trip

Bern Day Trip

On our Bern Day Trip from Zürich, we will visit the historic centre of Bern, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and learn about Emmental cheese.

At 8:30 am, we will depart from the Sihlquai bus station in Zürich to the Entlebuch Valley, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Upon arrival, each participant will receive a bag to fill with Swiss products throughout the day.

We will cross the Emmental Valley and visit the Kambly Experience, a traditional Swiss biscuit factory where we will learn about biscuit production and enjoy tastings. Following this, we will continue to the city of Bern.

In Bern, we will take a walking tour of the historic centre. Highlights include the Berner Münster Cathedral, the Swiss Parliament, and the Zytglogge tower with its astronomical clock. Participants will have approximately 1 hour of free time for lunch and shopping.

In the afternoon, we will visit a typical Bernese farmhouse, see local Swiss cows, and tour an Emmental cheese dairy. An interactive tour called 'King's Way' will be included, followed by a brief photo stop for the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains.

The trip will conclude with our return to Zürich, arriving back at the starting point at 7 pm.
