Experience Details

Discover Appenzell, milking cows and more!

Welcome to picturesque Appenzell! This private tour takes you off the beaten track to hidden gems only locals know – including our own family farm.


Experience cows being milked up close, taste fresh milk directly from the stables and enjoy an exclusive cheese tasting with local specialities such as raclette or Appenzell cheese – surrounded by breathtaking Alpine landscapes.


This tour is ideal for families – children can help out on the farm, feed animals or simply marvel. Meanwhile, adults enjoy honest insights into country life and genuine Swiss cuisine.


I – Fabian – am happy to welcome you personally. With passion I show you my piece of Switzerland – honest, warm and full of unforgettable moments.


Not a show – but real life. And that's exactly what makes the difference.
