Home to Europe’s greatest concentration of 13,000+ft mountains, it is no surprise that Switzerland has some of the finest hiking in the world. Embark on a classic trail crossing the whole country on the Via Alpina, or take on the challenge of backpacking the Walker’s Haute Route glimpsing the Matterhorn as you reach the end of your hike in Zermatt. Ride on the famous Glacier Express on our epic 2 week hiking tour of Switzerland on the Ultimate Swiss Alps.
Switzerland is the perfect place to embark on a self-guided tour, whether it is your first time or you’re a seasoned expert! It offers the best maintained and marked trails in all of the alps, and has enough variety to suit every taste and fitness level. Discover the picturesque chocolate-box villages of Mürren, Wengen, and Grindelwald whilst hiking through the Bernese Oberland and Grindelwald, or visit Lucerne as you explore its lake and travel by boat, gondola and train to reach your daily hikes.
Switzerland is a bucket-list destination for the discerning hiker who wishes to journey through some of Europe’s most striking mountain landscapes. Mix the panoramic views with Swiss hospitality reflected in towns and accommodation along the route for the perfect combination!
