Fantastic Flumserberg.... Wonderful Wallensee...

If you are looking for a place near to Zurich to feel a glimpse of Swiss Alps then Flumserberg is a name... The beautiful mountains out there offers hike and trails.. Once on the top, you can also enjoy rope boating to bring back those childhood memories..The place offers a lot of fun activities inluding but not limited to jumping on big cushion, riding a roller coaster flumzer (tobaggon run) ..
Getting there is easy as well, a direct train (S2) from Zurich HB takes you to Unterterzen and then a cable car to Flumserberg... 
On the way back, Lake Wallensee Resort on the opposite side of cable car station refreshes your soul, mind and body. The views offered by Wallensee are wonderful and the lake itself is serene and pristine as other lakes in Switzerland...

Fun @ Atzmannig...

We visited Atzmaennig in May-2015. A place that hosts excursions from toddler to old aged. It was full of fun, thrill and adventure not to mention the swiss alps, which are integral part of Swiss Beauty.The place is just 1 hr from Zurich by train (S5) and buss (885) respectively. The rides at Atzmaennig are rather less expensive than anyother place. You have to pay anywhere form 1 CHF to 3 CHF for any ride you want to take. There is a big green lush lawn where you can picnic and enjoy time with your loved ones. 

Happy family in a happy field....

Boat pond... where you can simulate the boat steering...

Simply blissful....

Panoramic Treat..Incredible Bernina..

It was mid-winter when we decided to take a panoramic train trip. We had various options to choose from and we chose the one that was best during that time. Yes, that's Bernina Express. We began our journey from Zurich and changed at Chur to board Bernina express for a beautiful journey and breathtaking views that will always remain live on our minds. The train passes through snow cladded Engadin alps and frozen lakes that leaves you mesmerizing. The train stops at one of the stations for you to get out for photo shoots. The halt is about 30 mins and gives you a chance to play in snow, jump, etc. The journey completes at Tirano, an Italian village adjacent to Switzerland border. We took a toy train during our 2 hours of stop at Tirano to roam around historic downtown. While our way back we got Pizza packed from a restaurant near to station that helped us fill our tummies.
