Searching for a vacation in an idyllic setting where you can be as active as you please? How about one that offers all the support you need to make this the adventure of your dreams?
Switzerland is known for some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world--majestic snow-capped mountains, enchanting forests, sparkling lakes, and hiking trails through valleys, along alpine ridges,and through idyllic countryside.
It’s little wonder the Swiss spend so much time outdoors.
With a 40,000 mile network of footpaths, Switzerland is a great place for active vacations for people of all abilities. Yellow markers designate difficulty, the ones with yellow tips being relatively easy walks, and those with a white/red/white tip being the more challenging mountain paths. Switzerland-Mobility selected over 5,000 mile of the most scenic routes. These are places where you can walk, bike, skate, cycle, or canoe.
Switzerland Tourism has a Swiss Hike iPhone app that includes routes, altitude, distance, duration, level of difficulty, restaurants and accommodations.
Rent a bike, mountain bike rental, or electric Flyer bike that gives you extra oomph and doubles your effort. There are over 500 stations with rentals and battery replacement, and Swiss Trails will deliver where no service is available. Choose an easy ride or find one that will challenge even the most avid cyclist.
There are over 600 places to stay along the Swiss trails, all connected by an individual luggage transfer service that works like clockwork.
Switzerland Tourism has created a series of entertaining Sebi and Paul videos on what there is to see and what the Swiss will do to make your walking vacation perfect.
