Hiking in Switzerland - 53 beautiful hikes for 2024
You can hike everywhere in Switzerland. Over 65,000 km of marked hiking trails are available to you. About one third of them are mountain hiking trails. Particularly beautiful mountain hikes can be found in the Bernese Oberland, in the Valais and in the Grisons. On high-altitude and ridge hikes you can enjoy the idyll in the Jungfrau region. The lakes shine green and blue against the backdrop of the mountain peaks with the Jungfrau massif in the foreground
Switzerland's highest mountain peaks accompany you in the Valais region. 41 of the country's 48 four-thousand-meter peaks are located here. The largest network of marked hiking trails is in the canton of Graubünden.

Hiking trails in Switzerland are uniformly marked. Yellow signposts indicate that they are hiking trails. Sometimes a green square with a stylized picture of the destination is shown on them. On well-known hiking trails, the name and number of this trail are also recognizable. Most of the time you will also see on the signposts the altitude of the location as well as the time to reach a certain destination.
Mountain trails are marked white-red-white, alpine trails white-blue-white. You will also find these colors on rocks, stones and trees. They show you that you are still on the right path

562 mountain railroads and 350 chairlifts exist in Switzerland. Not all of them are open in summer. But most of them are open in summer and let you start your hikes directly in the beautiful mountain landscape. And where there are valley stations of mountain railroads, there is always a post bus or a train.
