Montanhas

The northernmost peak of the Monte Rosa massif is also the second-highest peak in Switzerland. And visitors often like to return and make the ascent multiple times!

The Hinter Fiescherhorn only rises slightly above the firn line between the three peaks of the Fiescherhorn massif. It has nevertheless earned the right to be recognised as a separate four-thousand-metre peak, and a popular one at that.

The Napf peak at an altitude of 1406m is the highest peak between Emmental and Entlebuch. There is no road or railway access to the summit. The cosy summit inn can be reached on foot or by mountain bike.

The early days of Switzerland right at the heart of the country: The Grosse Mythen mountain with its breathtaking alpine panorama and a spectacular ride in the Rotenflue gondola above Schwyz.

O primeiro trem-gôndola de Bettmerhorn, construído em 1975, já transportou, em seus 20 anos de funcionamento, mais de oito milhões de visitantes. Com a inauguração de seu novo trem de gôndola de oito lugares, em 1996, o resort de Bettmeralp estabeleceu um novo padrão – afinal, o trem é considerado o mais moderno do gênero.

At Grand Muveran, visitors may chance upon wildlife. Chamois and ibex in particular love this secluded area, which delights all visitors who love scenic wilderness and mountains.

The Dürrenhorn lies at one end of the Nadelgrat ridge, and is somewhat hidden away and less popular as a result. The climb is a treacherous one, partly because of an increased risk of rockfall.

No começo do Vale do Reno em São Galo, a montanha Pizol ergue-se a 2844 metros de altitude entre Bad Ragaz e Wangs. Esta região propícia para caminhadas e esqui em volta do cume proporciona uma fantástica vista que se estende para além do Lago de Constança.

A well-connected hiking and biking region between Villars-sur-Ollon and the Les Diablerets village. Mountain and gondola railways together with lesser-known bus connection.

The Grand Combin de la Tsessette is part of the Grand Combin massif, which really lives up to its nickname: the “Swiss Himalaya”. That’s because the mountain massif is surrounded by thick glacial layers.

This four-thousander gets its name from Joseph Zumstein, who was the first person to climb it. The Zumsteinspitze lies in the middle of the Monte Rosa massif, between Dufourspitze and Signalkuppe.

At an imposing 4,634 metres above sea level, the Dufourspitze rises out of the Monte Rosa massif. This is Switzerland’s highest mountain peak.

No Mont Pèlerin, a montanha local de Vevey, você consegue perceber a beleza do Lago de Genebra, dos Alpes da Suíça Ocidental e do Jura num único relance. Você chega ao cume de funicular, passando pelos vinhedos de Lavaux. O melhor ponto de observação é a torre "Plein Ciel".

No topo da Europa: a visita à Jungfraujoch é a cereja do bolo em qualquer viagem à Suíça.

From every angle, the Rimpfischhorn presents a different side of itself: some parts glaciered, others steep and rocky. The peak is easily recognisable thanks to its distinctive shape.

Le Salève – Geneva’s House Mountain…

The Sareis mountain ridge lies 400 meters above the village, with a chairlift taking you there to where a mountain restaurant and scenic hikes into Liechtenstein country attract outdoor lovers; including the Fürstin-Gina trail.

Lá no alto, fora da bacia de drenagem para o vale, está o Dent d'Hérens, a poucos quilômetros de distância do ponto de vista dos alpinistas, na sombra do Matterhorn. O Rifugio Aosta é ponto de partida comum para a rota mais difícil que leva as pessoas para o topo da fronteira italiana, no lado sul do cume. A primeira subida ao Dent d'Hérens se deu em 12 de agosto de 1863.

Located on the north side of the Schrattenfluh limestone mountains in the canton of Lucerne, Marbachegg is almost part of the Emmental valley: one of the best Emmental cheeses is made here.  Marbachegg is part of the UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch.

The Niederhorn lies above Beatenberg at just under 2000 m above sea level and is a popular excursion destination, even from Thun. The view of the surrounding mountains - including the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau - is fantastic. At any time of year.

As part of the three famous peaks, the Mönch is extremely popular, and not just with mountaineers. But the mountain is very challenging and should not be underestimated, no matter how many visitors it has.

From Vevey a cog railway runs via Blonay to the vantage point with open-air exhibition of our solar system and the universe. And in spring the surrounding fields are chockablock full of daffodils.

Not far from Zermatt sits the largely ice-covered Dent Blanche. It forms one end of the Zinal Valley and offers a great challenge for experienced mountaineers.

The Rhone Valley at your feet, 2000 meters below, and impressive views from up here as you gaze down upon the seemingly miniature railway and cars journeying on the motorway. A genuine vantage point at the heart of Valais!

Next to the Eiger and the Mönch, in the Bernese Alps, the Jungfrau towers up into the sky. As imposing as the mountain itself is, the view while climbing it is just as impressive.

A cumeeira do Alphubel parece mais uma colina que um pico de montanha. A escalada deste pico de quatro mil metros no Grupo Allalin é puxada e exige excelente condição física.

A excursão a Titlis é um verdadeiro deleite. A gôndola TITLIS Xpress leva à estação intermediária e, dali, o TITLIS Rotair, o primeiro teleférico giratório do mundo, continua a viagem até o topo.

Not far from Zinal, the striking peak of the Zinalrothorn stretches up into the sky. It is a classic alpine climbing peak, making it popular among mountaineers.

At first glance, the Stecknadelhorn doesn’t look particularly spectacular. But anyone climbing this mountain in the Mischabel group will also traverse the Nadelgrat ridge – an absolute highlight for any mountain climber.

Its name comes from the Swiss-German word “Weissmies”, meaning white moss, or to put it another way, snow. It forms the main summit of the Weissmies group close to Saas-Fee.

At the foot of the Gotthard massif, near Airolo-Pesciüm, rises a magical mountain that becomes a paradise for skiers and snow lovers in winter, while in summer it is an ideal destination for bikers and hikers.

Although the Strahlhorn is technically on the easier side, it requires an extremely high level of fitness. It sits in the Valais Alps, above Saas-Fee.

The near-perfect pyramid shape of this mountain has inspired many an artist to depict it, including Ferdinand Hodler (1909), Paul Klee (1915) and Cuno Amiet (1926). It takes just 30 minutes to reach the 2,362m summit of the pyramid on the funicular railways from Mülenen.

The first person to climb it was an Austrian named Ludwig von Welden. The Ludwigshöhe, the southernmost four-thousander in Switzerland, can be climbed over a range of challenging routes.

The Allalinhorn is part of the Mischabel chain. It is one of the easier four-thousand-metre peaks, making it extremely popular with climbers.
