Bern Day Trip from Zurich.
Meet your guide in the heart of Zurich and board a luxurious, air-conditioned Mercedes minibus bound for Bern. Move through the UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve and learn about the region’s rich past while admiring the scenic Entlebuch Valley. Make your first stop at the Kamply Experience, a premium biscuit factory nestled in the Upper Emmental Valley’s green landscapes, for a demonstration on how the sweet specialties are produced.
Before returning to your coach for the trip to Bern, try a few treats. When you arrive in Switzerland’s medieval capital, take a guided tour of the UNESCO-listed Old Town and see famous sights like the Münster’s 100-meter spire and Bern Cathedral. After the walk, spend some leisurely free time exploring Bern, maybe with a refreshing lunch in a local restaurant (own expense). Return to your car and drive to an Emmental show dairy for a scenic drive.
After arriving, take an audio-visual tour of the show dairy and learn more about the origins of the world’s most popular cheese before sampling it during a tasting session. Continue to a dairy farm for a photo opportunity with an incredible view of the Emmental’s rolling green hills, before bidding your guide and party farewell at a central Zurich spot. Take home a goodie bag of Swiss items worth at least CHF 30 that you collected at the various attractions during the day.
