You pull away from Zurich with alpine air entering through the cracked window; the road unwinds past glacial-blue lakes and rolling vine terraces until the green rooflines of Heididorf appear. The guide steers a quiet eco-vehicle, pausing at viewpoints where the Rhine valley opens and the story of Heidi feels less like fiction and more like landscape.
