“A trip worth taking! The short hike was easy and pleasant. Marc is very friendly and explained to us how to handle the animals really well. We had a lot of fun and definitely want to come back!”

Stein AR is located in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden on a slight but panoramic hill. The municipality also includes numerous individual farms and scattered settlements. The rivers Sitter and Urnäsch flow around the village. Stein is famous for the Appenzell show dairy located here. An experience tour of the cheese dairy is particularly aimed at families. Tradition and customs still characterize the village today. In the Appenzell Folklore Museum, the focus is on Appenzell alpine dairy culture as well as farm and furniture painting.

“It was a fabulous day starting with a boat trip up the lake to Vitznau, then stepping onto the train up to Rigi Kaltbad. The mineral baths were totally relaxing, from the bubble pools to the stunning outdoor views, plus the herbal steam room, mineral pool tranquility and sauna. A truly sensational day.”
“It was a really exciting and varied tour where you learned a lot about the prominent Winterthur families. I also loved some unexpected facts about trees.”
