The Riviera at the upper end of Lake Zurich
Rapperswil‑Jona is often called the Riviera at the upper end of Lake Zurich – and rightly so. Roses, water, light and a lively cultural scene give the town a gentle, Mediterranean flair.
Around Gaia’s Home you will find everything you need for a perfect day:
For breakfast, the Gaia Café & Deli awaits you just a few steps away with brioche, brunch and seasonal dishes in a creative, welcoming atmosphere. Nearby bakeries such as Wick, Steiner‑Beck and Räber offer fresh bread, pastries and small snacks for your excursions.
A stroll through the old town of Rapperswil leads you along narrow lanes, past historic facades and inviting squares – ideal for browsing, pausing and discovering.
The surrounding region is a playground for nature lovers: island trips to Ufenau and Lützelau, panoramic views from the Bachtel, hikes and walks along the lakeshore, swimming spots, viewpoints and cosy cafés.
Those seeking adventure will find it in the Atzmännig leisure area with summer toboggan run, rope park and family‑friendly winter activities.
Whether you prefer to wander slowly, explore actively or simply savour the moment – Gaia’s Home is your starting point for days that feel like holidays from the very first minute.
