Europe’s largest waterfall is forty minutes from Zurich, and it is loud, wide and genuinely impressive. Half a day is enough to stand right above the water, walk the medieval old town of Schaffhausen, and be back before dinner.

What we can fit in

A realistic selection for 5 hours — we settle the final list together.

Boat to the rock in the middle of the falls
Schaffhausen old town and the Munot fortress

How a day with Aurion works

What you book is time with a car and a driver — not a fixed package you have to keep up with.

Pickup at the address you choose is inside the booked time.
All the driving is inside the booked time.
The stops you choose, for as long as you want to stay, are inside the booked time.
I tell you about the places on the way — and at every stop you go off on your own, at your pace. No group, no guide walking ahead of you with an umbrella.
Tickets, cable cars, boats and meals are not included. You buy those on the spot, so you stay free to change your mind.
If the day is going well, it can run up to 2 hours longer when my schedule allows — CHF 80 an hour, settled at the end.

After you book, we talk

Every booking gets a message or a call from me before the day. We go through what you actually want to see, how much walking suits you, whether you are travelling with children, and what the weather is doing that week — and I build the route around your answers. The suggestions on this page are starting points for that conversation, not a fixed itinerary.
