AROSA,CHUR,HEIDIDORF&RHEINFALLS

AROSA - Alpine Beauty at the End of the Line

Heididorf is a themed alpine village located near Maienfeld in Switzerland, dedicated to the famous Heidi stories by Johanna Spyri. It recreates a traditional Alpine setting, allowing visitors to experience the atmosphere of classic 19th-century Swiss mountain life in an authentic and immersive way.

RHINE WATERFALLS

Rhine Falls is the largest waterfall in Europe by water volume, located on the Rhine River near Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Its powerful cascade creates a dramatic natural spectacle, especially in spring and summer when the water flow is at its peak.

Well-developed viewing platforms and walking paths allow visitors to get remarkably close to the falls and experience the full force and energy of nature in an immersive way.

- Early in the morning we will arrive in Chur. Those who wish may continue by train to Arosa, a scenic mountain resort high in the Alps. We recommend spending around four hours in Arosa, which is the most optimal amount of time to enjoy mountain views and relaxed alpine atmosphere. Here, you can also take a cable car that rises to over 2,400 meters, offering breath-taking panoramic views of the surrounding Alps. At the top, you can enjoy a lunch in a restaurant, surrounded by the stunning alpine scenery. In addition, Arosa offers charming horse-drawn carriage rides, providing a graceful and memorable way to explore the resort and its landscapes.

Afterwards, you will return by train to Chur, where you will have free time to explore the historic old town, stroll through its charming streets, and enjoy the city at your own pace.

From Chur, we will continue to Heididorf, where we can enjoy a relaxing walk through the village and its picturesque surroundings (please note that the museum itself will be closed). The area beautifully reflects the atmosphere of a traditional Swiss Alpine village and captures the spirit of the famous Heidi story.

During the walk, visitors will be surrounded by scenic mountain landscapes, green meadows, and charming traditional Swiss houses, creating a peaceful and authentic Alpine experience.

And to conclude the day on a truly unforgettable note, we will visit the illuminated Rhine Falls to admire the waterfalls in the evening before our departure back to Germany. A one-hour stop will give us time to enjoy the magical atmosphere, take photos, and experience the beauty of Europe’s largest waterfall beautifully lit after sunset.
