Select your Region:

Tip 21: 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.

Tip 22: 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.

Tip 23: 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.

Tip 24: Nendaz (Valais)
Scorched by the sun and often difficult to access, the slopes of the Valais are irrigated by "Suonen" water channels.
 
Tip 25: Oberhasli (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.

Tip 27: Oeschinensee (Bernese Oberland)
Wild and romantic - the remote Gastern Valley above Kandersteg is worlds away from modern-day life.

(Central Switzerland)
All of Central Switzerland lies at her feet; among her many charms is Europe's first-ever mountain railway. The Rigi is more than a day out: she is a legend.
 
Tip 29: Titlis (Central Switzerland)
At 3,020m, Mt Titlis is the highest summit accessible by cable car in Central Switzerland - and the trendiest too.
 
Tip 30: Entlebuch (Central Switzerland)
The high moors of the Entlebuch are so beautiful that UNESCO has declared them a World Natural Heritage Site.
