We are Stefanie, Sabine, Evelin, Nadine, Tina and Celia, the six trainees from Switzerland Tourism. Trainees on Tour is a project launched by us to introduce the Grand Tour of Switzerland to our generation (the 20-30 year olds). In two groups we went out to discover the most beautiful places, to find exciting and fun activities, to spot top hotels and restaurants, and much much more. Stefanie, Sabine and Evelin covered the parts of western Switzerland and focused their activities on culture and culinary travel. Nadine, Tina and Celia ventured out to eastern and southern Switzerland to get off the beaten track and to be active in the region's pristine nature.

Cozy St. Gallen


We started our roadtrip in Wittenbach near St. Gallen. In the garden of Gerold Huber there are more than a dozen of mobile homes - always a caravan and a matching car. We've chosen Paul and Paula. A Fiat500-Cabrio and a caravan from the 60 sixties were our loyal companions during the whole journey.
Hello Paul and Paula

The first evening we spent in St. Gallen. We went to the Focacceria - an Italian restaurant where you have to chose if you wanna eat a delicious dish as pasta or salads or fill your Focaccia individually with tasty antipasti from the buffet. As dessert we ordered a Toblerone mousse (chocolate mousse) and a yummy apricot-chocolate cake. We were especially bowled over by the latter. Also if you don't like fruits. Or the combination of apricots with chocolate. But this delicious cake was just phenomenal. After dinner we checked out the bars in St. Gallen and can recommend you the Oya - a cozy place where you can find Scandinavian specialities, homemade ice tea and other goodies.

The next morning, we drove to the 3 Weieren above St. Gallen. These 3 little lakes are the perfect place to bath on hot sunny days or chill in the evening. We unpacked our breakfast and enjoyed this nice location. In the first lake (Manne-Weiher) it is possible to swim for free. The second lake in the middle (Buben-Weiher) is nice to visit but there are too many plants in it for taking a bath. The third lake (Frauen-Weiher) offers a public pool (one for everybody and one especially for women). Here you have to pay entrance fees.
