Located in an elevated valley in the heart of Central Switzerland, Einsiedeln is home to an important pilgrimage place dedicated to the Virgin Mary. At the heart of Einsiedeln you will find an impressive baroque monastery dating back to the 18th century. You can join a guided tour of this very interesting Benedictine monastery before seeing an altogether different side of the city at the cheese factory (Milchmanufaktor). There is also a Gingerbread Museum to admire or you could opt to visit the popular near-by ski resorts of Hoch Ybrig and Brunni-Mythen which are idyllic all year round. In summer you can walk, hike or cycle along a 400km network of trails.
