Rhine Falls and its Surroundings

Covered in snow and ice or in the middle of summer, surrounded by green nature – Europe’s biggest waterfall is always a great sight. Those who can muster the courage go on an exciting boat trip with the “Rhyfall-Mändli” to the mighty rock surrounded by thundering masses of water. For those who’d rather have it a bit more comfortable: there is a 15-minute round trip in the Rhine Falls basin.

The 1000-year-old Schloss Laufen is located high above the waterfall and is always worth a visit! In the Historama exhibition, children and adults, learn about the castle’s history in an exciting and interactive way. If you’d rather stay in the present: The largest indoors miniature world in Switzerland is just around the corner. On a scale of 1:87, Smilestones Miniature World has reproduced the greatest Swiss milestones with great attention to detail and humor. Virtual inspiration can be found in the new immersive Art Hall “Rhyality“. In the 360-degree multimedia show, unique in Europe, the Rhine Falls with its four seasons are brought to life. And those who are looking for a great challenge above ground can test their skills on more than 170 elements at the Adventure Park Rheinfall and enjoy the exquisite view of the Rhine Falls.

Come rain or shine, be it warm or cold outside – the Rhine Falls and its surroundings offers numerous exciting excursions for the whole family at any season.
