Eastern Switzerland

TRADITION & NATURE

Stiftsbezirk St. Gallen Schweiz
St. Gallen is the area’s main travel hub, with its famous library in the former Benedictine Abbey of St. Gall. Together with the rest of the St. Gall precinct, it is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The library itself houses around 160,000 books.

Destinations in Estern Switzerland

From gentle hills to snow-capped peaks and wide valleys, Eastern Switzerland stretches from Lake Constance to the cantons of Appenzell, Thurgau and Schaffhausen, offering a broad range of natural spectacles and cultural experiences to enjoy.

The Highlights of Eastern Switzerland

The breathtaking cable car from Säntis down into the valley has featured in various photos and videos, but there’s only so much a camera lens can take in; these marvellous sights have to be seen to be believed. The same goes for the thunderous Rhine Falls in Neuhausen and the mystical Tamina gorge; this is picturesque 360-degree nature at its best. Eastern Switzerland is a perfect destination for group trips starting out from Vorarlberg, as it offers both adventure and variety. But there’s also culture here to go with the natural sights, including the Abbey of St. Gall, home to one of the oldest and most beautiful libraries in the world. Undoubtedly, the wealth of possible activities, sights and highlights in this region are enough to cater for all tastes and fulfil all expectations for a varied group trip.
