About Me

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.

Spectacular Creux du Van


Our way along the Grand Tour of Switzerland kept leading us to one of Switzerland's most spectacular sights, the Creux du Van.  This definitely belongs on every bucket list.

 Once again we had to leave Paul & Paula behind and start a hike through the beautiful landscapes of the Jura. The reload our batteries we decided to take a little break at "Le Soliat". This nice little restaurant is situated just 300 meters apart from the incredible rock formation.

The food served here is mostly directly form the region or even self produced, like the fresh stone oven bread. Interesting is that the restaurant does not use electricity for the preparation of the food, which makes this place even more special.

After our break we were ready for the excitement and the great view of the alps. We walked straight to the Creux du Van and started the panorama hike along this impressive rock formation. The funny  this is, whenever someone (Swiss people included) sees these pictures of the Creux du Van, they ask  where it is. And guess what? No one would ever imaging it is in Switzerland.
