Best places: Hiking areas in Switzerland

👍👍 Just beautiful. Can't explain in words. The panoramic view of Aletch Glacier is mesmerizing. Another visit in summer is already planned.

Steep, glass-floored sightseeing path around a cliff, offering views of the Eiger & Jungfrau peaks.

👍👍 Parking is not free, but it is inexpensive. I encourage you to come in the early morning. By the time we left it was getting crowded so we got to enjoy the bridge all to ourselves. While you are crossing over, visit the little town on the other side and stop at the first bed and breakfast/cafe for s...

👍👍 Amazing place and worth a visit. The history Sanctuary of Our Lady at Mariastein goes back to the first half of the 14th Century. The story goes that a small boy had fallen from the precipice down into the valley and saved by the virgin. The boy’s mother was tending cattle and sheep. To escape fro...

494-m. suspension bridge hanging 85 m. above the ground & noted as the longest for pedestrian use.

Route through a centuries-old irrigation channel, with cliffside suspension bridges & a tunnel.

👍👍 Beatifull view from the tongue of the Aletsch glacier and a beautifull walk towards Bettmerhorn. Goes uphill, so not for absolute beginners. End at the panorama restaurant. Views are staggering.

Pedestrian bridge perched above the Trift Glacier, accessed via a hike from a cable car station.

Aerial tramway to Säntis peak, where lookout terraces & a restaurant offer panoramic Alpine views.

👍👍 Mt. Rigi offers an area for recreation and sports measuring approximately 90 square kilometres (35 sq mi) offering a variety of well-maintained walking trails or mountain hikes where visitors can have a panoramic view of 150 km (93 mi) from various marked points. There are also numerous public grill...

2,970-m. peak in the Bernese Alps with a cable car to a rotating restaurant & outdoor viewing deck.

👍👍 A spectacular waterfall which descends the side of the Lauterbrunnen Valley. You can climb steps and stand behind the cascade as it reaches the valley floor. Make sure you are comfortable climbing steps and getting a bit wet! The views of the waterfall from Lauterbrunnen or from behind the waterfall...

👍👍 Here is a good opportunity to test your fitness and enjoy nature and the sun. You go from Aarburg over the bridge on the Boningerstrasse direction Boningen. It has parking place at the railway bridge or at the motorway underpass. The trail to 1000 er Stägli is close to reach. You walk up the 1150 st...

Seasonal cable railway, considered one of the steepest in Europe, with dramatic peak & valley views.

👍👍 Great place to take photos and enjoy nature. This is a must-go when in Lucerne or even nearby, as in Zurich or Zug. The views are amazing. It is quite a bit pricy, at over 70 Franks for entry (a bit under 40 with a full Swiss travel pass). However, I must say it's worth it. The shops and restaurants...

👍👍 Open 24/7, free of charge, benches, infoboards, looking glass. Spectacular viewpoint with a really breathtaking view of the lake, the Alps and the Swiss plateau. Easily reached in 15 minutes from the cable car at the top station of Kaltbad, level wider path that is also easy to drive for wheelchair...

👍👍 Beautiful place with a magnificent view. 😍 You can easily get there by car, and then take a small walk to the viewpoint. There are also benches to chill and enjoy the view. 🙌🏾 Small tip: it’s a bit cold over there so dress accordingly. 😉

Famous 120-m. falls with viewing terraces, rides in a wooden cable car & ties to Sherlock Holmes.

Powerful, 600m-long waterfall tumbling over rocky cliffs, with an adjacent fixed-rope climbing path.
