Hiking
Ascend a peak, hike through alpine meadows, explore a forest? You decide! Thanks to over 65 000 kilometres of waymarked trails, virtually every corner of Switzerland is waiting to be discovered. The paths are well marked and as varied as the scenery – in fact, they quickly become an end in themselves.
