Your first stop is Zurich. It might be Switzerland’s metropolis but it’s also compact and pleasant. From the cobbled streets of the old town to the shops along Bahnhofstrasse, the city center is a delight to explore. Despite being the financial and commercial hub of Switzerland, it doesn’t feel hectic once you’re sitting beside the lake with snow-dusted mountains crowning the horizon - and not a bank in sight. This almost-perfect urban space has the stereotypical clean streets and great public transport but it’s no sleepy backwater. The biggest Swiss city is also the liveliest and most diverse, with a vibrant cultural scene and buzzing nightlife, not forgetting food that goes far beyond fondue.
Your room will be available from the afternoon onward. We've requested an earlier check-in if possible, but the possibility of this can only be confirmed on the arrival day.
Upon arrival at the hotel, you may leave your bags and take some time to rest before venturing out to explore the city. Here are some perks you get by staying at the Storchen hotel through us!

Your last hike is renowned as one of Switzerland's finest high trails: the ridge path linking the Klingenstock and Fronalpstock peaks, with its many flights of steps.
It affords views of more than ten Swiss lakes and countless Alpine peaks in Central Switzerland. You can also discover a variety of Alpine flowers along the route.
The journey to the starting point of this hike is already quite an experience! To reach the car-free village of Stoos (1,300 m.a.s.l.), you can choose between the Morschach-Stoos cable car and the world's steepest funicular (Schwyz/Schlattli-Stoos). At its steepest point, the funicular has a gradient of 110 percent.
Cross the little mountain village on foot, and then take the chairlift up to the Klingenstock (operating hours depend on season and weather). Of course, you can also make the ascent on foot. The sky-high ridge path starts at the summit: with 360o panoramic views all the way, you hike westwards via Rot Turm to Nollen.

At the end of your hike, your private driver will drop you off at your hotel for check in.

Known to the locals as Vierwaldstättersee, English speakers simply call it Lake Lucerne. Twisting and turning into smaller coves and inlets, from the water you might think you’re cruising through fjords because of the towering mountains around it. But Lucerne is an alpine lake in every sense of the word, with its crystal clear water clean enough to drink and bucolic mountain towns along its picturesque shores.
Check into your room and unwind before enjoying the afternoon by the lake or at your hotel. There's an amazing spa to enjoy!
A World of Spa for Two is one of the most private -and decadent- experiences you can treat yourself to at the Bürgenstock Resort:

Everywhere you turn at Bürgenstock there seems to be floor-to-ceiling windows, outdoor balconies, or a wrap-around pool, which makes sense once you see the views of Lake Lucerne from the mountaintop resort. Stars once lived on the property, but a major renovation in 2017 made sure that Bürgenstock’s heyday is nowhere near ending, especially thanks to the opening of one of Europe’s most highly anticipated new spas.

The snowy peaks of Mount Pilatus don’t just beautifully frame the city – they provide an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors just 20 minutes away. The world’s steepest cogwheel railway is an excellent way to take in the alpine scenery – and you can even ride in the driver’s cabin. Alternatively, take a panoramic cable car trip to the top from Kriens. On the mountain itself, a host of activities await year-round, including hiking, climbing and summer tobogganing.
Recommendation by scenset. No booking has been made.
Inside a storybook-worthy house in Lucerne’s leafy suburb of Kriens is Museum Bellpark. It explains the history of Kriens through photos, sketches and drawings – but the biggest draw is the museum’s ever-changing displays of contemporary themes such as architecture, as well as striking Swiss art and photography. It’s also very child-friendly, with playful discovery sessions during the autumn.
Recommendation by scenset. No booking has been made.
The Renaissance-style building of Lucerne’s Rathaus (town hall) also contains a brewery and pub, which produces flavoursome beers that vary according to the season. In winter, sink a glass of full-bodied, fragrant Rathaus Bock – a strong beer with a hint of banana. An extensive menu of traditional food is also available: try the Weisswürst (spiced white sausage) or Luzerner Käsekuchen (a savory cheese tart).

Afterwards, take a break at the historic Café Demel, a classic Viennese café that has been serving mouth-watering pastries and coffee for over two centuries. Café culture is synonymous with life in Vienna and this visit will give you the opportunity to experience it first-hand.
You'll then continue on to St. Stephen's Cathedral, a stunning Gothic church that has been a symbol of Vienna for centuries before stopping by the Mozart House, the former residence of the famous composer, which now serves as a museum dedicated to his life and work.
