Luxury picnic by Zurich lake

If you’re considering a special treat while visiting Zurich, a luxury picnic by Zurich Lake could be just what you need.

An In-Depth Look at the Luxury Picnic Experience

What You Can Expect from the Experience

This luxury picnic is all about taking the hassle out of a special outing. You and a companion will arrive at a pre-arranged start point, Navillegut, where everything will be ready. The setup includes stylish dining accessories, cozy seating, and a well-curated spread of Swiss treats. The setup is designed to be eco-conscious—no plastic in sight—so you can indulge guilt-free in delicious local foods.

The backdrop of the Swiss mountains, visible from the picnic spot, offers a spectacular view that turns an ordinary meal into something memorable. The experience lasts about 2 hours, giving plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, savor the food, and maybe even take a short boat ride or walk around the area. The itinerary includes two main stops: the starting point and a scenic viewpoint, both with opportunities to relax and take photos.

The Picnic Setup and Food Offerings

The setup is described as luxury—you’ll have a cozy blanket, elegant tableware, and comfortable seating. All of this is arranged before your arrival, so the focus is on unwinding. Expect a delicious assortment of Swiss delicacies—cheese, beef products, seasonal fruits and vegetables, jams, chocolates, butter, and freshly baked bread. The inclusion of these regional treats highlights the local flavors and makes the experience feel authentic.

Pairing everything is a bottle of Prosecco or wine—0.75 liters—plus two 0.5-liter bottles of mineral water, all chilled. Non-alcoholic options are available, which adds to the flexibility if you’re not drinking alcohol. For those who love a good glass of wine with a view, this setup really hits the mark.

The Scenic Stops and Views

The first stop is at Navillegut, a convenient starting point, from where you’ll be taken to scenic viewpoints. The second stop offers breathtaking views of the mountains and the lake, perfect for photos and soaking in the Swiss landscape. The optional boat ride adds an extra dash of adventure, though it’s not included in the package, so you’d need to plan this separately.
