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.
Lake Lucerne (Central Switzerland)
It can't get more stylish than this. Discover Switzerland's turbulent
history aboard one of five art nouveau steamers. Anchors away!
The Verzasca valley. (Ticino)
Of the wonderfully beautiful valleys of the Ticino, the Verzasca valley
is probably the most fascinating - for both romantics and adventure
fans.
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.
Arosa (Graubünden)
The gold course in Arosa is one of the highest in Europe - the ball flies particularly far at 1,850m. Go get your clubs!
Gruyères (Fribourg Region)
Try reaching the castle in the picturesque village of Gruyères without
succumbing to the temptation of the wonderful restaurants along the
way. It's not easy!
Freiberge, Jura (Neuchâtel / Jura / Bernese Jura)
The Freiberge region of Canton Jura is paradise for horses, and its
gently rolling hills are a paradise for riders, hikers and bikers too.
Jungfraujoch (Bernese Oberland)
The Jungfraujoch is Switzerland's most famous excursion destination: visitors travelling to Europe's highest railway station (3453m) won’t believe their eyes. From here, one can see all the way to the Vosges mountains in France and to the heights of the Black Forest in Germany. The large Aletsch glacier – with 23 kilometres of the longest ice flow in the Alps – starts directly alongside the Jungfraujoch.
Via Spluga (Graubünden)
From the cool north to the warm south in four days - the "Via Spluga" is a long-distance and cultural route leading through stunning countryside.
Soglio (Graubünden)
Giovanni Segantini was almost certainly sitting in the garden of the
Palazzo Salis when he claimed that Soglio was "the gateway to
paradise".
