Mont Blanc
Countless hikers from all over the world dream of this mountain, the ‘white mountain’, also known as the ‘roof of Europe’. For many Alpinists, Mont Blanc is the epitome of the hiking experience and is hard to beat. The legendary mountain is the third most visited natural site in the world and the Mount Blanc massif extends around 400km2 across national borders to France and Italy.
Valais
The third largest canton is located in the southwest of Switzerland and captivates with a unique landscape diversity. And with good reason, because hiking and active holiday fans in Valais are always accompanied by the warm rays of the sun – around 300 days a year. The power of the sun can also be found in the juicy fruits and wonderful wines.
Bernese Oberland
Mountain hiking across national borders, through eight Alpine countries: That is what the famous Via Alpina Bear Trek in the Bernese Oberland offers. From Trieste to Monaco, the trekking tour leads five routes from Italy, Slovenia, Germany, Austria to Switzerland, on to Liechtenstein, France and finally to Monaco.
Central Switzerland
Switzerland has its origins in central Switzerland, the heart of the country. But inner Switzerland has much more to offer than just history. Explore the beauty of central Switzerland with sights such as churches, monasteries and small chapels, all of which blend beautifully into the landscape.
Graubünden
The canton of Graubünden in the east of Switzerland truly offers all the colours of the rainbow in its own way. With around 930 white peaks and glaciers, 615 blue lakes, 150 green valleys with lush meadows and more than 300 colourful bird species – a colourful variety with a special flair for mountain hikers.
Ticino
Where Swiss charm meets Italian Spirit – here is the ‘gateway to the south’. Ticino is located in the southern part of Switzerland and is largely surrounded by Italy. This is not only evident in the canton’s Mediterranean flair, but also in the mild and sunny climate. Perfect conditions for a successful hiking holiday.
Useful information about your hike tour in Switzerland
The Swiss climate
Diversity is also the motto when it comes to the climate in Switzerland. Because of the numerous altitudes and influences north and south of the main ridge of the Alps, there are big differences. Generally cooler and more humid in the north, there are even Mediterranean influences in the southern parts of the country. In summary, it can be said that the temperatures in Switzerland are primarily determined by the altitude throughout the year and especially the warmer months offer the perfect climate for a successful hiking holiday.
The Swiss cuisine
The influences of the neighbouring countries also merge in the kitchen. Typical items from France, Italy and Germany are combined with the best from Switzerland. Many well-known national dishes such as cheese fondue and raclette, rösti, Bircher müsli, Toblerone and the sweet drink Ovomaltine are also popular internationally. Not to be forgotten are the more than 400 Swiss cheeses and around 350 sausages – an impressive selection. And did you know that the popular Bircher müsli was created by Maximillian Oskar Bircher-Brenner as early as 1900?
Switzerland's culture and traditions
The neighbouring countries have also made their mark on Swiss culture in terms of the culture and diverse language. But as diverse as the regions may be, there are still some typically Swiss characteristics. Switzerland is a nation born with permanent neutrality, which means they voluntarily form a unit without being uniform throughout. The Swiss are particularly proud of their neutrality. They cannot be involved in disagreements and the country has been successfully staying out of armed conflicts for around 200 years. As punctual as clockwork: This character trait can also be transferred to the people with a clear conscience, because the Swiss are always punctual and expect this from others as well.
