Chocolate factory near Lucerne or Lugano

Short summary – read this first

Navnita is planning a trip to Switzerland and wants to know about chocolate factories to visit near Lucerne or Lugano. She is looking for specific recommendations and options for her family. While there are no factories in Lugano, she can visit the chocolate museum in Caslano, which is a short train ride away.

Key takeaways:
  • Visit the Cailler factory in Broc, reachable from Montreux or Fribourg, but be prepared for a long trip from Lucerne or Lugano.
  • Shoggiland in Flawil is a good option, only a 2-hour train ride from Lucerne.
  • Check out the chocolate museum in Caslano, just a 20-minute train ride from Lugano, if you're nearby.

    Hi Navnita, as far as I know, there are two chocolate factories open for visitors in Switzerland:

    • the Cailler factory in Broc, which can be reached from Montreux/Lausanne and Fribourg. This would be quite a long trip from both Lucerne and Lugano;
    • Shoggiland in Flawil, which is at a 2 hours train ride from Lucerne.

    There’s no chocolate factory in or near Lugano, but there is a chocolat museum in Caslano, which can be reached by train in just 20 minutes.

    My daughter is most disappointed but I guess, for now, chocolate museum will have to do! Thanks so much! Navnita
