The journey

The Switzerland of green hills, painted farmhouses and old traditions.

This is the part of Switzerland where our co-founders Florin and Mattia grew up, and where most visitors never go. From Zurich the journey heads east to Appenzell, with its cheese makers and alpine customs, crosses into Liechtenstein and ends with wine and a thermal spa in Bad Ragaz.
