Eastern Switzerland, including the Principality of Liechtenstein, is a region with many desirable locations. Nestled between Lake Constance and the foothills of the Alps, Eastern Switzerland boasts a beautiful countryside and snow-capped mountain tops for tourists seeking unadulterated nature. One of the best ways to experience the region is to take a ride on the Heidi Express, which can be picked up in Davos. Take a day trip through the tunnels and over the bridges and enjoy the untouched mountain landscapes, famous resorts, deep gorges, and breathtaking valleys along the way. In addition, we will explore the places below.

Davos — Located in southeastern Switzerland in Graubunden, Davos is a popular holiday/vacation destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Unlike your average Alpine ski village, Davos is a bustling place, famous for its extensive ski areas, fine dining, shopping, and entertainment. Just steps away from the town center, there are miles of marked hiking trails, lush forests, and beautiful mountain landscapes. In both summer and winter, visitors to Davos can enjoy a variety of sports and leisure activities. Davos is one of Europe's oldest mountain resorts, dating back to the 1860's, where it was once considered a health resort because the high altitude and long hours of sunshine eased the suffering of many patients.

Liechtenstein — Snuggled between Switzerland and Austria, Liechtenstein is one of the world's smallest and richest countries. Swept from the pages of a fairytale, Liechtenstein is home to a stunning landscape with mountains and valleys. The magnificent, unspoiled nature is combined with a cosmopolitan vibe. Liechtenstein has a modern education system, a successful financial center, and countless sporting activities for outdoor aficionados.Visitors will want to catch a glimpse of the spectacular architecture of Vaduz castle, visit a museum, and plan a hike.

Lucerne — Lucerne is a charming city with a thriving tourism industry. Nestled between the Swiss Plateau and the Alps, Lucerne is picturesque with its mountains, Alpine villages, lakes, and meadows full of edelweiss. At the town center, you will find cobbled streets bordered by delightful houses, shops, and hotels. Above the Old Town is the original city wall where you can take in the majestic scenery. Lucerne's Water Tower and Chapel Bridge are well-known landmarks in the city. From Lucerne, many visitors go on lake and mountain excursions. Also known as the City of Lights, Lucerne's name goes back to a miracle of light said to have happened here. According to legend, Lucerne's first settlers were guided by an angel with a light where to build a chapel in honor of St. Nicholas, the patron saint of fisherman and sailors.
