Learn how to select the best cocoa beans, master the tempering process, and personalize your chocolate creations with a variety of delicious toppings. This hands-on experience allows you to savor your own chocolate masterpieces.
Journey to Lake Walensee
Refreshed by your chocolate experience, continue your journey through the regions of Glarus and St. Gallen.
Stop at a stunning, lesser-known viewpoint overlooking Lake Walensee for some Swiss snacks and a cheese plate. This will allow you to enjoy the majestic alpine views.
Boat Ride to Quinten
From the viewpoint, descend to the lake, where a charming boat awaits to take you to Quinten.
This ancient Roman village is accessible only by water or foot, making it a tranquil retreat from modern life. Discover Quinten’s unique microclimate, which supports the growth of tropical fruits, wine, and even palm trees.
Swiss Barbecue & Swiss Cheese by the Lake
Upon arrival in Quinten, enjoy a leisurely walk along the shores of Lake Walensee, followed by a delightful Swiss barbecue & cheese tasting.
Feast on traditional Swiss fare, such as sausages, chicken, and corn, all grilled to perfection by the lakeside. Relax and enjoy the tranquil setting, with opportunities for stone skipping and soaking in the panoramic mountain views.
Return Boat Ride and Drive
After your barbecue, stroll back to the docking station for a leisurely boat ride across the clear waters of Lake Walensee.
This peaceful journey allows you to absorb the scenic beauty of the Alps fully. Conclude your day with a smooth drive along Lake Zurich, reflecting on a day filled with unforgettable experiences and flavors.
