Our goal was to see as much as possible in 6 days while maintaining an unhurried approach. From the first contact, our experience was detailed perfection. Marc and his team managed everything from airport pickup to hotel and restaurant recommendations.
We hoped to relax and not worry about anything — this expectation was exceeded. The team clearly listened to our preferences.
Our main stops included Zurich, Appenzell, Liechtenstein, Lake Lucerne, Interlaken, Thun, Zermatt, and the vineyards around Montreux.
The best element of our time was our top-tier guide, Manuel. His personality, knowledge, energy, and pride in his country were exceptional.

Overview
Highlights
St. Moritz is where alpine glamour meets untouched nature. Set high in the Engadin Valley, this region blends crisp mountain air, glacial lakes, refined cuisine, and quiet Swiss precision.
This three-day St. Moritz tour is one of our signature journies, combining culture, culinary artistry and immersive alpine exploration – always guided, always private, and always tailored to you.
Schedule
Morning
Your guide welcomes you in St. Moritz, introducing the town beyond its jet-set reputation. A private guided tour leads through the village and into the Segantini Museum, dedicated to Giovanni Segantini, whose alpine paintings capture the light and vastness of the Engadin landscape.
With a local expert beside you, the art feels contextual and alive rather than simply observed. This is one of those private tours in Switzerland where storytelling matters as much as sightseeing.
Afternoon
The pace shifts from culture to cuisine. In a private kitchen setting, a Swiss chef welcomes you for an interactive cooking workshop. Together, you prepare refined Engadin dishes – could be capuns or a modern interpretation of regional classics.
It’s hands-on yet relaxed. Techniques are explained, ingredients sourced locally, and the experience unfolds at your rhythm. For guests interested in a meaningful food tour in Switzerland, this is an elevated alternative to restaurant hopping.
Evening
Enjoy the meal you’ve created, paired with regional wines. Conversations linger, and the mountains outside begin to fade into dusk, before returning to your hotel for the night.
Morning
Day 2 is dedicated to movement and mountain air. With your guide, set off on a scenic e-bike ride from St. Moritz toward Val Rosegg. The trail follows the river through forests and open meadows, framed by dramatic peaks.
It’s accessible yet exhilarating – one of the most beautiful Swiss Alps tour experiences for active travellers. At the valley’s end, glacial waters flow cold and impossibly clear. Many guests choose to pause, remove their shoes and dip their feet in the stream.
Afternoon
Return toward civilisation at lunchtime – but not before stopping at one of the Engadin’s most famous indulgences: Europe’s largest dessert buffet at Hotel Waldhaus in Sils. It’s an unexpected highlight that adds a touch of light-hearted glamour to the day. Later, travel into the secluded Val Fex. Here, motor traffic disappears and silence settles in.
Evening
A horse-drawn carriage awaits in Val Fex. Wrapped in blankets, you glide slowly through alpine meadows as the sun begins to dip. Dinner is reserved at a traditional mountain restaurant in Val Fex. Candlelight, local cuisine, warm wood interiors – understated yet elegant.
Unlike typical sightseeing tours in St. Moritz, this day feels curated and personal, guided entirely by local experts who understand the valley’s rhythm.
Morning
Fuel up at breakfast, before your private guide transfers you to Pontresina for a hike. From Pontresina, the cable car ascends to Alp Languard. Within minutes, the landscape opens dramatically, with glaciers shimmering in the distance. Jagged peaks form a horizon that feels almost cinematic. A coffee at the mountain restaurant offers time to absorb the view before beginning your guided hike.
Midday
The hike spans approximately four hours and passes numerous alpine lakes – each reflecting the sky in brilliant blues and greens. If you’re lucky, you may spot Ibexes along rocky ridges too!
These are some of the most rewarding Swiss Alps walking tours in the region, combining accessible trails with extraordinary scenery. Your guide adjusts pace and route depending on your preference – it can be much shorter and easier if desired. Because all our Swiss private tours are fully tailored, flexibility is built into every step.
Afternoon
Return to your hotel in St. Moritz for a relaxed spa afternoon. After a day on the Alps, warm pools and saunas are welcomed and feel restorative.
Should you wish, we can arrange an optional guided cheese farm hike or a private St. Moritz chocolate workshop – perfect additions for guests seeking a broader Switzerland culinary tour dimension.
