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.

Cheers with Appenzeller Alpenbitter


The Grand Tour of Switzerland continues to the Appenzellerland - so did we. This region we like due to its picturesque landscape, alive traditions and authentic customs. Our first stop was at the factory of the Appenzeller Alpenbitter. A young lady showed us the whole factory and in the end, we could try all of their products. 
Inside the herb room
It was just 11a.m. but we had no other choice than tasting the Appenzeller Alpenbitter, the herbal spirit from Appenzell. Since 1935 this Swiss original is made with 42 herbs and was regarded as medicine against stomach ache. What we've liked even more was the summer drink Ana's Sprizz, a liquor with the taste of pineapple, and the 9050 - cream liqueur.  The Appenzeller Alpenbitter is widely known in the whole country but especially in the Appenzellerland people drink it very often.

Cheers
9050 and Appenzeller Alpenbitter
