Hello everyone, my name is Julia, and I would love to introduce you to the Switzerland I know and love. Switzerland for me is not just a travel destination — it is my everyday life. I live and work in the very heart of Zürich, surrounded by the rhythms, traditions, and quiet beauty of Swiss life, and create tailor-made journeys across Switzerland, offering private tours in Zürich, Lucerne, and Bern. My partner’s family comes from Bern and Zürich, and through these close local connections I have become deeply immersed in Swiss culture and community. My story began with music and theatre: I studied cello at a specialized music school and later graduated from the acting department of the Kyiv Theatre Institute, after which I worked in theatre. This background shaped the way I guide. I spent over ten years living and working in Venice. I started out in a travel agency, which gave me a deep understanding of how trips are organized, and later obtained my official guide license. I led tours in Venice and the Prosecco wine region, combining historical sites with fascinating stories. Now in Switzerland, I continue doing what I love and offer only the experiences that I genuinely enjoy myself. I’ll show you the beauty of Switzerland and its hidden gems. Let’s create your perfect journey together! I have all the requirements of the Swiss government to fulfil professionally my work. I am certificated travel guide of Venice and I have a guide license in the city of Chernihiv, Ukraine. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate professional car&driver. Please contact me even if I am unavailable! Switzerland with Julia.

from Klingenstock to Fronalpstock – the legendarz hike along the Stoosgrat ridge. Full Route (May–Oct). Mini Route (Year-round).
Overview of your Zurich tour
Experience one of the most breathtaking panoramic routes in Switzerland. This "postcard" hike along the Stoosgrat ridge offers a high-alpine feel without technical climbing, making it a Swiss must-do. The Highlights: World’s Steepest Funicular: Start with the Stoosbahn, an engineering marvel climbing a 110% gradient in rotating barrel cabins. The Ridge (Klingenstock to Fronalpstock): A spectacular trail between 1,935m and 1,922m. Walk along rock-carved steps and gentle slopes protected by steel railings. The Views: Dramatic 360° panoramas of Lake Lucerne and the rugged Glarus Alps, overlooking 10 lakes. The "Mini-Variant" (Panorama-Walk): If the full trek is too much, the Panorama-Walk is the perfect alternative, capturing the ridge's "final bouquet" in an easy, accessible loop. Year-Round Adventure: This route is accessible and stunning all year round, in summer green or winter white. Comfort: A chairlift takes you directly to the Fronalpstock summit. The trail is flat and suitable for everyone.
