Embark on a private journey from Zurich to the historic town of Einsiedeln, Switzerland’s most significant pilgrimage site dedicated to the Virgin Mary. This exclusive tour, spanning 3 to 5 hours, offers a comfortable van ride through the picturesque Swiss countryside, featuring stunning landscapes of mountains, lakes, and forests. Upon arrival, explore the magnificent Baroque-style Benedictine Monastery, constructed between 1704 and 1750. The renowned Camino de Santiago (also known as The Way of Saint James) passes through this area, adding to the sacred atmosphere of your journey. At the heart of the monastery, the Chapel of Our Lady of the Hermits, featuring the revered Black Madonna, enchants all who visit. The Frauenbrunnen fountain is a must-see, where the water is believed to have healing properties. Many visitors fill their bottles with this sacred water.
After visiting the Einsiedeln Abbey, we'll take a stroll through the charming town center of Einsiedeln, a German-speaking town with 17,000 residents located in the canton of Schwyz. We'll walk along streets lined with local shops and restaurants. The time spent at each stop can be tailored to your preferences.
On the way back to Zurich, we'll drive along Lake Sihlsee, a summer spot for swimming, surfing, and sailing, and a winter haven for ice skating. We'll stop to take photos and soak in the fresh air and stunning views of the surrounding mountains
