About the same distance to the west is Switzerland’s largest privately run zoo.
Walter Zoo has around 500 animals from over 100 species.
The centrepiece is the chimpanzee habitat containing a colony of 17, and a new Serengeti enclosure that features lions.
The zoo is internationally certified and takes part in breeding programs.
It’s also much more than a static animal attraction: Children can take camel and pony rides and interact with farm species at the petting zoo, and there are also nocturnal experiences like staying overnight in a tipi tent.
