The drive to Rhine Falls

From Zurich Airport you reach the Rhine Falls in about 40 minutes. We stop either on the Laufen Castle side or in Neuhausen.

Good to know: Laufen Castle and boats

From Laufen Castle paths lead right down to the water; in summer boats go out to the rock in the middle. Allow one to two hours for your visit.

Schloss Laufen or Neuhausen

The Rhine Falls have two sides: on the south bank is Schloss Laufen with steps and platforms down to the water, on the north bank Neuhausen with the riverside and the boat landings. We stop on the side you want to visit and, on request, collect you on the other.

When the falls are at their most powerful

The Rhine carries the most water in early summer, when the snow melts in the Alps — that is when the falls are most impressive. On 1 August, Swiss National Day, they are lit up by a large fireworks display; the roads are very busy that evening, so booking early pays off.

An excursion with your chauffeur: drive and waiting, return included

There, wait, back: you pay the fixed price plus the waiting time, and the return is included. Hourly waiting rate: CHF 100 (S-Class), CHF 90 (V-Class), CHF 80 (E-Class).

Your hotel in Rhine Falls

The Rhine Falls combine well with Schaffhausen and the medieval town of Stein am Rhein for a day trip.

On the way

On the way back, Stein am Rhein or dinner in Schaffhausen are worth it.
