City Treasure Hunt
Whether resident or visitor, the City Treasure Hunt through the Old Town is an absolute must!
Basel Tourism tells us that, “Guests are offered the opportunity to discover the city independently, but also with a little assistance. City guides meet participants at the agreed meeting point and introduce them to the city. Having gone through the briefing, the guests set off armed with photos of important points in Basel, a city map, various location descriptions and a Polaroid camera. The aim during the short dash through Basel is to find hidden places, solve tricky tasks and find the answers to questions”.

La Bâtie - Festival de Genève
A contemporary programme of music, theatre, dance and performances, La Bâtie goes back to 1977 when the founders held the festival at a wooded site near the centre of town, the Bois de la Bâtie, which gave the event its name.

Heidi Tour
Through her Heidi books, Johanna Spyri (1827–1901) created a romantic, nature-oriented image of Switzerland. Translated into 50 languages with many millions of printed copies, Heidi is a classic of children’s literature. The Heidi Village in Maienfeld virtually transports visitors into the era when the children's story was written. Experience the Heidi Trail that will lead you through the idyllic landscape to the Heidi House and the Heidi Alp.

Excursions
As both the city of Lucerne and the Lake Lucerne Region are often referred to as ‘the essence of Switzerland’, it is aptly stated that, “In a small amount of space this region embodies almost everything that is a part of Switzerland: a city whose old town dates back to the Middle Ages, a lake with Europe‘s most extensive inland navigation and a panorama of the Alps, all of which provides an ideal setting for combining excursions and allowing the visitor to explore and experience the Lake Lucerne Region from a different angle”. For samplers:
· Enjoy the Pilatus experience, one of the highlights of Central Switzerland at 2132 m above sea level.
· Mount Rigi, at 1800 m above sea level, many people refer to Mount Rigi as the ‘queen of the mountains’.· Stanserhorn, at 1900 m above sea level, offers an amazing panorama view from the first and only revolving restaurant of Central Switzerland.
