10 days/ 9 nights/ 8 rounds of golf, from/to Zurich
Zurich - Bad Ragaz - St. Moritz -
Davos - Lucerne - Interlaken -Zurich
Day 1 Zurich.
Individual arrival in Zurich
You take over your rental car and spend the night in Zurich. The day is free
for you to enjoy, for example with a visit to the beautiful historic part of the
town, for your shopping along the exclusive Bahnhofstrasse or with a relaxing
cruise on Lake Zurich.
Day 2
Zurich - Bad Ragaz - Heidi Village (100 kilometers / 60 miles)
Short Drive to Bad Ragaz, where you check into your hotel. You will be
playing on the 103 year old splendid Golf Course Bad Ragaz (18 hole
„Championship“, Par 70, length 5700 m). The only Championship Course owned by a
hotel is rich in tradition and located right in the heart of „Heidiland“. Here
the trees were given more than a hundred years to grow freely and this makes the
course rather wild, not just a stroll through the park from hole to hole. At
least Donald Harradine didn’t go overboard during his redesigning in the early
1930s, so the wealthy clientele remained happy. But even with a missed score you
won’t feel upset, because it’s actually quite relaxing to look for a lost ball
in this majestic scenery. Enjoy the great views over the mountain ranges and the
famous vineyards of Graubünden, spotted with some pretty historic little
townships, Maienfeld with its world known Heidi village and the picturesque
settlements Malans, Fläsch and Jenins. This night you spend in Bad Ragaz.
Day 3
Bad Ragaz - St. Moritz (110 kilometers / 72 miles)
A very impressive drive over the Julier Pass (2284 m above sea level) with
everchanging spectacular scenery. Then cruise along beautiful Lake Sils into the
world famous Engadin valley. In the afternoon a wonderful round of golf on
Engadin Golf Samedan (18 hole „Championship“, Par 72, length 6217 m) awaits you.
You will spend two nights in the world renown St. Moritz, the international,
elegant top spot in the Engadin Valley.
British tourism and Swiss hospitality visionaries led to the historic early
foundation of the Golf Club in 1883. But also the design of this club, the
oldest in Switzerland and third oldest in Europe, matches this special aura.
This magnificient course with its timeless elegance, brilliantly uses every
angle and corner of the terrain which is rather flat, despite its altitude of
1738 m above sea level. You will be astonished by the beautiful larches more
than 700 hundred years old, the meandering rivulets, the fantastic light and
especially by the towering mountain Muottas Muragl.
Day 4
St. Moritz
Today in the morning you will play on the golf course St. Moritz Kulm (9
hole, Par 27, lenght 2865 m). This pretty course is presented to you as a
delightful golf appetizer. It belongs to the famous Kulm Hotel, a flag ship in
the legendary fleet of 5-star hotels located in St. Moritz, where once upon a
time the first light bulb in Switzerland was lit up! After playing the hilly,
short parcours you will also take home as a trophy the unforgettable impressions
of spectacular scenery and landscape. Then enjoy an afternoon of shopping in
some of the many exclusive boutiques in St. Moritz where you will find all the
world famous leading labels or take a spectacular ride on the aerial cable car,
high up to Piz Nair (3057 m above sea level) in the Corviglia area.
Day 5
St. Moritz - Davos (65 kilometers / 40 miles)
You drive through the Engadin valley and across the Flüela-pass (2383 m
above sea level), where you encounter a breathtaking view on deep valleys and
the high mountains of Graubünden. In the renowned Mountain Wellness Destination
of Davos you will play on the quite flat and rather short course (18 hole, Par
68, length 5230 m). Davos lies 1560 meters above sea level and is the highest
situated township in Europe which offers the player a parcours without any
distinctive changes in profile. But nevertheless, the fairways older than 80
years have some surprises at hand for the visitor who will enjoy the many water
runs and new designed greens. Davos is an all year round destination, and so is
the golf course. You will stay overnight in Davos.
Day 6
Davos - Lucerne (170 kilometers / 105 miles)
From the mountains of Graubünden you move on to Central Switzerland. The
drive is quite long, but scenically most worthwhile, leading you through the
nice area of the Prättigau, then along spectacular lake Walensee and picturesque
lake Zurich, and finally you are rewarded with the splendid town of Lucerne in
the heart of Central Switzerland, located right on the shores of beautiful lake
Vierwaldstättersee. Truly und undeniable the prettiest area in the whole
country! There is enough leisure time for you to enjoy a stroll through the
historic old town or for a relaxing cruise on a majestic steam boat. You will
spend the night in Lucerne.
Day 7
Lucerne - Interlaken (70 kilometers / 45 miles)
Today you will play on one of the most beautiful golf courses in
Switzerland. After a short drive of 20 minutes you reach the golf course Lake
Sempach. This course is the only one in Switzerland that offers two complete 18
hole courses, plus the wonderful view of the Alps and Lake Sempach (2x18 hole
„Championship“, Par 72, length 6161 m). Next is a very interesting, short drive
through pre alpine scenery to the Berner Oberland, the highlands of the canton
Berne. Again you pass many gorgeous lakes and with the word famous mountain
peaks Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau a next highlight awaits you. You spend two
nights in the wellknown tourist destination of Interlaken with its impressive
views over the Berne Alps.
Day 8
Interlaken
Today you will be absolutely thrilled by the most spectacular cogwheel ride
up to Jungfrau Joch, the highest train station in Europe (3855 meters above sea
level). Take in the unique, unforgettable views across ancient glaciers and
visit the cool Ice Palace!
Day 9
Interlaken - Zurich (120 kilometers / 75 miles)
In the morning you will play on the golf course of Interlaken (18 hole, Par
72, length 5758 meters). It’s rich in tradition, offers glorious mountain views
