This was a really nice spot to spend the night in! I was on a trip throughout Europe and out of everywhere I’ve been too, this was my favorite. Cow riding is a must do when visiting, and also trying the restaurant. Before this I ate at a restaurant on the Eiffel Tower which I thought was good, but eating here in Bolderhof changed my mind completely because it was so delicious. All the ingredients are local and made by a chef fresh, giving it a really nice feel if you enjoy comfort food. It’s 100% worth it to go out and have this experience while enjoying the view of Switzerland!

What a great experience today. It’s a really pleasant farm. Everyone there was friendly, and we were impressed by how many languages the people there speak. English, French, German, the communication was great.The reason we went there today was the cow trekking. I booked the 1.5 hour tour as a gift for my father in law’s birthday, who loves cows. The experience exceeded my expectations. We got to learn more about the cows, we got to pet them, walk them, and of course ride them. It was a fun adventure, followed by a delicious apéro of farm made products. But of course, be prepared to smell like a cow afterwards 😉

Cow trekking, a fun and hilarious adventure. Did the four hour tour with an amazing lunch from the farm. Home made soup, hot fresh cooked bread, farm made cheese selection and salad, fresh cake, hot tea and fresh apple cider/juice. The cows were well used to the route and sometimes it didn’t go quite to plan with our inexperience riding but it added to the adventure and fun. Loads of stories to tell. Very friendly people who run it and a fabulous day out. Am sure I will be back with my kids.
