Summer mountain tips
Select your Region:
Bernina Express (Graubünden)
The Rhaetian railway line between Chur and Tirano is truly a technical
marvel, particularly impressive when viewed from the panorama car.
Braunwald (Eastern Switzerland / Liechtenstein)
You want to see goats? Then visit the "Golden Goats Bridge"! Children can slide from floor to floor and listen to evening stories read to them by the hotel director.
Ebenalp (Eastern Switzerland / Liechtenstein)
In Appenzellerland, the tranquil Ebenalp is in complete contrast to the summit and dramatic Wildkirchli.
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.
(Bernese Oberland)
A little bit of Nepal in Switzerland, this spectacular rope suspension
bridge takes intrepid hikers across the Trift valley to the mountain
hut on the other side.
Schynige Platte (Bernese Oberland)
The Schynige Platte offers a front-row seat from which to admire the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.
