»Heidi’s enchanting journey home to Heidi Village-St. Moritz-
Arosa-Lucerne and back to Zurich«
© Itinerary by Green Golf, Luzern
Self
drive/Group tours/Guided private tours
8
days/ 7 nights/ 6 rounds of golf, from/to Zurich
Zurich - Bad Ragaz - St. Moritz - Arosa - Lucerne - 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 or a relaxing cruise on Lake Zurich.
Day 2
Zurich - Bad Ragaz (100 kilometers / 60 miles)
Short Drive to Bad Ragaz, where you check
into your hotel. You will be playing on the splendid Golf Course Bad Ragaz (18
hole „Championship“, Par 70, length 5700 m). The only Championship Course owned
by a hotel is 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 enjoyable to look for a lost ball in this
majestic scenery, with its magical views over the mountain ranges and
picturesque township.
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.
British tourism and Swiss hospitality visionaries led to the historic early
foundation of the Golf Club in 1983. 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. You spend two nights in St.
Moritz, the international top resort in the Engadin Valley.
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 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 - Arosa (110 kilometers / 70 miles)
The dramatically scenic drive from the
Engadin valley to Arosa is full of many mighty impressions, especially the
spectacular bends and curves. A worthwhile drive, because on the highest
situated golf coures of Europe (1850 meters above sea level, 18 holes, Par 65,
length 4200 meters) a round of golf in spectacular surroundings awaits you.
Arosa - a more beautiful name for a winter sport destination barely exists! But
also during the summer months Arosa offers a superlative: nowhere in Europe will
you play 18 holes higher up! No surprise then that here you find cute alpine
huts and fresh crisp mountain air that carries the balls further and further.
After 7 pm the classic cows take over the course again. So if you meet somebody
with a happy face and cow dung on their feet in Zurich’s famous shopping mile,
the Bahnhofstrasse, you can be pretty sure they just played golf in Arosa! Also
in Arosa you spend the night right within the glorious mountains.
Day 6
Arosa - Lucerne (170 kilometers / 105 miles)
From Graubünden in the eastern part of
Switzerland you drive through breathtaking scenery right into the heart of this
magical country, to Lucerne, another highlight and world famous city. Shortly
before Lucerne you will play on the relatively easy golf course on Bürgenstock
(9 hole, Par 33, length 2098 m) 500 meters high above Lake Lucerne. You reach
the golf course after a short, ten minutes leisurely walk, which former German
president Konrad Adenauer once stated as „the most charming stroll on earth“.
The course is situated in a fairy tale forest that still exists today. It
surprises you with ever changing perspectives, from the close by dragon mountain
Pilatus, to the bulky Stanserhorn and also over to the Alps of Uri on the far
horizon. A true idyll where the flow of time seems slower but touches you
longer. You will stay two nights in Lucerne.
Day 7
Lucerne
The golf course Lake Sempach near Lucerne 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). Exactly here on the shores of the peaceful Lake Sempach, which
is surrounded by meadows and fruit trees, one of the most important battles in
the history of Central Switzerland took place in 1386. And now you find one of
the largest golf settings in Switzerland, located on the „sunny balcony of
Switzerland“ with 36 Holes and championship character. The wide fairways are
comfortable to play, but the undulating approach areas and the difficult to read
greens make the whole matter quite tricky. And you can easily be distracted by
the pleasant views either across the plain towards the pretty lake or towards
the impressive mountain ranges on the horizon. After the golf there is enough
time to explore the spectacular, fascinating old historical town of Lucerne or
even go for an unforgettable cruise on famous Lake Lucerne with one of the
majestic vintage steamboats.
Day 8
Lucerne- Zurich Airport (60 kilometers / 40 miles)
After your last night in Lucerne it’s just a
one hour drive to Zurich Airport where you hand over your rental car and check
in for your flight back home.
