The three iconic hiking trails in Switzerland

Long distance hiking is a huge trend right now. Ahead of the UK’s National Walking Day on 3^rd April 2019, here are three iconic hikes in Switzerland that visitors can try in sections which are easily bookable via Eurotrek.

Via Alpina ‘The Classic’

The Via Alpina crosses 14 of the most beautiful mountain passes and leads hikers through the northern Alps of Switzerland from Vaduz in Liechtenstein to Montreux on Lake Geneva via six cantons. Unique panoramic views, refreshingly cool mountain lakes plus opportunities to relax and recuperate make it a classic route for experienced hikers. Along the Via Alpina hikers can collect 38 stamps in a special booklet that can be exchanged for a certificate on completion.

Jura Crest Trail ‘The Gentle One’

The gentle Jura Crest Trail is popular with less experienced long-distance hikers. The unique Jurassic landscape, culture and cuisine on offer along the trail, the tranquil remoteness and glorious views of the Alps set the oldest long-distance trail in Switzerland apart from the rest (founded in 1905). It starts in Dielsdorf north of Zurich and finishes in Nyon, on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Alpine Passes Trail ‘The Wild One’

This long distance hiking trail for adventurous hikers connects Chur in the east with Lake Geneva in the south west, covering some of the most beautiful parts of the Graubünden and Valais Alps over 34 stages. Hikers encounter one highlight after another as the trail crosses over high plateaus and alongside lakes at the foot of the Dents-du-Midi. The Alpine Passes Trail follows spectacular paths and passes with unique and unforgettable views dominated by 4,000m peaks.
