In short
Fondue on a mirror lake is a floating table in Switzerland on water clear enough to see the bottom, with chocolate fondue in the middle and the mountains reflected upside down all around you. It runs from June to September, and Avellera arranges it privately as part of a tailor-made Swiss journey.

A floating table on water clear enough to see the bottom, chocolate fondue in the middle of it, and the mountains standing upside down all around you.
Good to know
Yes. With Fondue on a mirror lake, Avellera sets a floating table on a Swiss lake with water clear enough to see the bottom. Chocolate fondue sits in the middle, and the mountains stand upside down in the water all around you. Avellera arranges the experience privately as part of a tailor-made journey through Switzerland.
Fondue on a mirror lake runs from June to September, the summer months when the alpine lakes are calm and the days are long. Still mornings and quiet evenings give the clearest mirror reflections of the mountains. Avellera chooses the day with the weather in mind and fits it into your route through Switzerland.
Tell Avellera your travel dates and wishes, and the Vienna team builds Fondue on a mirror lake into a private, tailor-made journey through Switzerland, together with hotels, transfers and guides. It is a favorite for couples and families. Planning is free, and the online planner on avellera.com returns a personal trip idea and PDF right away.

On the Water
17Along the river past Aggstein castle and terraced vineyards to Dürnstein, and a tasting in a cellar held by one family for generations.
18A small private yacht, a skipper who knows which side channels are worth the detour, and champagne on deck. Lunch or dinner served on board, wherever you stop.
19Silent electric boats out across the water, a private concert on the island, a wine tasting as the light drops, and dinner served where the city cannot reach you.
