Gold Panning in Switzerland

 Our fun gold panning experience 

Romoos,Entlebuch

Switzerland

The unesco Biosphere Entlebuch offers a lot of adventures for young and old.

Hiking, gold panning, biking and a lot more.

Due to covid we decided to spend our summer holiday in Switzerland. We discovered new beautiful places and learned new stuff. 

We didn't know gold panning is such a fun activity for the whole family. With hardwork and patience you will find gold flakes while enjoying the beautiful Napf surroundings. 

We booked online, in Napfgold-erlebnis. 

(Found them thru google)

They are very helpful and informative, direct to the point. Some company gives too much information but with Napf they will give you just the necessry infos that you need to know. 

The kids get to dig on their own and do the 'washing' with all the tools provided. 

You could book a day, half day or a 4-hr  gold panning experience. Since it is our first real river gold panning (my kids did the "gold panning" on a box of sand before, offered by their sports club somewhere in switzerland as part of their group excursion not the real one though but just to have a nice experience how it goes). 

We booked the 4-hr tour/experience considering we have three kids and we don't know yet at that time if they will enjoy the whole thing from walking to digging and it turns out they liked it so much that they want to do it every summer

Romoos, Entlebuch is 1hr by car from zurich.

And, 2hrs by train from Zurich main station.

Luzern is the nearest city in Entlebuch.

It is also a good idea to do some Luzern or Entlebuch sight-seeing afterwards.

This was our 4-hr gold panning experience (9am- 1pm)

- Collecting all the equipment. Rubber boots, shovel, pan, small bottle container and sluice box.

-small introduction and briefing about the area and gold panning history

-30-minute hike down the river

-Gold panning instructions

-gold panning on your own

-gather all the tools and hike up to the nearest bus station.

-took the bus back to Napfgold-Erlebnis place

-cleaned all the tools and...  finished!

You will be on your own afterwards but the Napfgold-erlebnis guides will be there all the time to give some tips and advice.

Time is so fast and patience is really a virtue. You will find gold just be patient.

We thought it was too short so i would recommend a half-day package for beginners, you have an option to book your lunch with them as well.

We were in a group but i think you can also have a private guide.

An interesting illusion museum for big and small.

They have different rooms for you to have fun and take some cool insta-worthy pictures.

Using their wow guide, you can take pictures and download it directly in your smartphone.

It is small but if you like illusion and visual art you will enjoy this place.

Their wow guide will explain everything you need to know.

At the entrance, you will be asked to scan a qr code (for the 'wow' guide) and that's it! You're ready to explore the whole museum.

This is the best place to take tons of pix for your social media accounts.

On top of Mt. Pilatus

       

Pilatus, Switzerland

Sunday afternoon we brought the kids on top of Mt. Pilatus. It was their first time to ride the big cable car going all the way up to see the beautiful view of Luzern and for them to simply experience how it feels like to be there high above lol. Surprisingly, they liked it! 

 

The twins are not afraid of heights (not like their mom and older brother lol) so  just the cable car ride itself is already a fun attraction for them. The view up there was so stunning and relaxing! We were lucky to be there on a sunny afternoon, clear blue skies and perfect weather.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First plan was just to try the summer toboggan/sled ride but we decided to go all the way up. The  summer tobo ggan ride was so much fun for the whole family, we enjoyed it a lot that we even went 2x more. The queu at that time was long, it took us 15-20mins. waiting time, afterwards we hiked going to the next station to catch the last cable car going down. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a fun short afternoon adventure, we should have went there early in the morning to see the place longer. The fare going up there is expensive, for a 2-way ride 70fr+ /person, having a half fare card would be practical and you'll save a lot!
