By midmorning the private van slips away from Lucerne’s lakefront, the city shrinking behind you as alpine ridgelines sharpen. Your first stop is the hum of the Läderach factory in Bilten—glass panes reveal chocolatiers shaping FrischSchoggi slabs in real time—then the road pushes east toward Vaduz, where the principality’s compact capital perches beneath a watchful castle.
