Itinerary
We'll embark on a 30-minute drive from Zurich to Pfaffikersee Lake, a hidden gem that remains undiscovered by most tourists. The autumn sun bathes the landscape in golden hues, making it a true treasure.
Our first highlight is Lake Pfäffikon, a tranquil and lesser-known lake beloved by locals. Here, you’ll enjoy a guided hike surrounded by autumn colors reds, golds and oranges. Families with kids can choose a shorter lakeside walk, while those who want more adventure can explore further on a two-hour loop. It’s the perfect setting for photography and quiet moments in nature.
Next, we arrive at Jucker Farm, a highlight of the region and especially charming in autumn when the famous Pumpkin Exhibition is on display. Here you can marvel at creative pumpkin sculptures, join hands-on workshops like pumpkin carving, and meet friendly farm animals such as goats, cows, and rabbits. Take a stroll through the apple orchard (ÖpfelGarte) to learn about harvesting, then enjoy local specialties in the farm restaurant with options like a hearty BuureZmorge brunch or a traditional farm lunch. Don’t miss the Hofladen (farm shop), where you can shop for fresh produce, homemade jams, juices, and baked goods, while kids can have fun in the play areas and farm adventure spots. It’s the perfect mix of Swiss traditions, nature, and family fun all in one stop.

About Zurich
Zurich is Switzerland's largest city, set at the head of a clear lake with Alpine views, a medieval old town and the cabaret where Dada was born.
The Old Town spreads along both banks of the Limmat River, with narrow lanes, guild houses and church spires. The twin towers of the Grossmünster are the city's landmark, the Fraumünster has stained-glass windows by Chagall, and St Peter's Church has one of the largest clock faces in Europe. Lindenhof hill gives a peaceful view over the rooftops.
Top-ranked sights in Zurich: Lucerne, Zurich Old Town (Altstadt), Lake Zurich (Zürichsee).
