Walking holidays in Switzerland

The region around the holiday resort of Davos is a paradise for families. The family-friendly Aparthotel Muchetta in Davos Wiesen is the ideal starting point for numerous excursions. Young and old get their money's worth on this trip.

Over 800 glaciers feed the Inn, which begins at the Maloja Pass. The Via Engiadina follows the course of this river on picturesque mountain paths. Far away from tourist centres, you hike through dreamy mountain villages. For more than 100 years, nature has taken its course undisturbed in the most south-eastern corner of Switzerland, and so you follow the Via Engiadina through a mountain landscape that is second to none.

Fendant, Malvoisie or Heida are just a few of the most famous wines of the Valais. The grapes of these noble wines ripen in the plain between Martigny and Leuk, through which the Chemin du Vignoble passes. Along this path you will discover homely wine taverns, typical wine villages and some of the steepest vineyards in the world. Not only are the grapes that ripen along the Chemin du Vignoble unique - the walk itself is a real treat.     

The hiking trail runs along the Albula and Bernina lines of the Rhaetian Railway and repeatedly provides enchanting views of a 120-year-old synthesis of the arts in a magnificent Alpine landscape. Countless bridges and spectacular viaducts blend harmoniously into the landscape and are rightly listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The valleys are lonely, the mountain paths are full of views and the towns are bursting with joie de vivre and Italianità. This hiking tour takes you through the southernmost corner of Switzerland, from the lofty castles of Bellinzona through lively Lugano to Mendrisio. The different perspectives on the many lakes of this region accompany you on your way to the highlights of Ticino.

Discover Switzerlands most impressive parts. When hiking on the Beartrek you travel a unique route that passes glaciers and spectacular passes. The route “Via Alpina” leads along the three most famous Swiss mountains “Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau” through valleys and canyons to the well known ski-resort Adelboden-Lenk.

The Jura Crest Trail is considered the classic among national long-distance trails. Signalization of the route, starting at Solothurn and ending in Couvet, began as early as 1905. It links two major Swiss towns and as the name suggests, leads over the Swiss Jura heights. This makes a sweeping arc towards the northwest, so those hiking this trail go a little round the bend – and over the language boundary!

Experience the history of Switzerland on this dreamlike panoramic hike. The Swiss Path takes you along Lake Lucerne. Scenic hikes and the idyllic Rütli meadow on the shores of Lake Uri await you. Welcome to Central Switzerland, the cradle of the Swiss Confederation.

The Jungfrau-Aletsch region has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. 23 kilometres of ice stretch here from the Jungfrau down into the Valais, making the Aletsch Glacier one of the most spectacular natural wonders in the Alpine region. But on this hiking tour, the focus is not only on the eternal ice. You will hike over suspension bridges, visit the Aletsch forest, which is a protected nature reserve, and spend the night in mountain inns in the middle of the Valais mountains.

Discover the Emmental in all its glory. Starting from the main town of the Emmental, you will hike into the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch. You will spend idyllic nights in Schangnau and Sörenberg and reach the lakes of central Switzerland.
