PROGRAM
DAY 1 Zurich
We leave Prague early in the morning. We are rushing closer to Switzerland.

Our main goal is the Alps, so we have lunch on the road, enjoy the views from the car window and get to our first stop - Zurich.

Zurich is the capital of the canton of Zurich and the largest city in Switzerland. Situated on the Limmat River and Lake Zurich, it is considered the banking capital of the country and one of the most important financial centers in the world.

We will have enough time to walk along its ancient streets, try local cuisine and sit on the embankment by the water.

In the evening we move to our overnight stay. We relax, get to know each other, and discuss plans for the coming week.
DAY 2
Ice adventure. Rosenlaui
On this day, we will go high into the mountains, where the water has frozen in the ever-blue ice massif.
Glacier Gorge Rosenlaui is a UNESCO World Heritage list.

The Rosenlaui Valley is famous not only for its glaciers and mountain cirques, it is rich in incredible natural views

We will be in this valley all day long. We will make pictures, drink water from a mountain river and hit the road to our main goal.

A winding mountain path will lead us through a coniferous, cool forest and direct us along a stormy mountain river. All the way we will be accompanied by the roar of water and the ringing of alpine bells, which are carried by local charming sheep. At the end of the trip you will see a real blue glacier, look at the patterns that it leaves on the rocks, you will feel yourself a small part of this vast world

P.S. Lunch cooked on a campfire will add a special taste to the journey.

In the evening we will go to the place of our next overnight stay.

We will drink tea and discuss the beauty that we managed to see

The route along the lake is incredibly beautiful: mountain paths, cliffs, steep slopes and green forests - all this leaves an unforgettable impression.

At the end of the route, everyone can try real fresh alpine milk :)

DAY 5
Lauterbrunnen and Trummelbachfelle waterfall
Today we will go to the city that once inspired Tolkien - Lauterbrunnen (it is also called the valley of 70 waterfalls). Here the writer decided exactly how the city of the elves - Rivendell - would look like. We will spend the whole day in the valley.

We can have a leisurely coffee with dessert in one of the cozy restaurants of this alpine village. Next - we will visit the impressive Trummelbachfelle waterfall - powerful and noisy, the water falls from a great height in a rocky grotto.

In Lauterbrunnen you will have free time. We will tell you where you can go and what to see, maybe you decide to just walk along the valley, enjoying its unhurried and fabulous atmosphere, or maybe go up on one of the funiculars and see the highland villages. We believe that a trip to Lauterbrunnen is a visiting card of Switzerland, so you will have enough time to try to understand this place.

Toward evening we will go towards Zermat.
