Summer mountain tips
Select your Region:
(Valais)
Simply awe-inspiring. At 23 km long, the mighty Aletsch glacier is the
longest and most fascinating river of ice in the Alps, and the most
accessible too.
Glacier Express (Graubünden)
Take the Glacier Express from St.Moritz to the world-famous Matterhorn, and travel through the Swiss Alps in 71/2 hours.
Val d'Anniviers (Valais)
Well away from busy roads, the villages of Val d'Anniviers have retained their traditional charm, and the Hotel Bella Tola has done so particularly well.
Allalin (Valais)
From 3,454m to 4,027m in two hours - the ascent of the Allalinhorn is
short and simple with a guide, but still an incredible alpine
experience.
Zermatt (Valais)
No other mountain is quite as photographed as the Matterhorn - the
views from the "five lakes route" are some of the most popular.
Emosson (Valais)
Between Martigny and the Emosson reservoir, travel on no fewer than
four different forms of mountain transport - including the world record
holding funicular from Le Châtelard.
Nendaz (Valais)
Scorched by the sun and often difficult to access, the slopes of the
Valais are irrigated by "Suonen" water channels.
