Hiking in Switzerland
Have you ever been on a hiking in Switzerland?
Der Berg ruft – the mountain calls. And
frankly one look at this ravishing land of skyscraping peaks,
glaciers, forests and lakes of piercing blue will have you itching to
sling on a backpack, zip up to the heights and hit the trail.
Certainly won’t be alone. The Swiss are born with one leg up a
mountain, so walking here really is the fast track to the nation’s
nature-loving soul. This being Switzerland, even the trails leading
you deep into the country’s wildest, remotest corners are diligently
waymarked, and almost every inch of the country is precisely mapped.
Switzerland? Little? Not for hikers it isn’t. As the Swiss delight in
reminding you, the country’s 62,500km of trails would be enough to
wrap around the globe 1.5 times. Alpine hikers fall hard for the
high-level trails in the Bernese Oberland and Graubünden, which notch
up the challenge and floor you with phenomenal scenery. But lowland
areas like the vineyards of Valais and the gently rolling hills of
Appenzell are equally atmospheric and accessible virtually year-round.
