Hiking in Switzerland
You don’t have to be a summit seeker to enjoy our Switzerland walking holidays, but they’re hard to avoid, and also hard to resist. From the Via Alpina in the Bernese Oberland to the High Passes of Valais, Switzerland is vertiginous, prodigious and of course prestigious. If you prefer the lower pastures, the Jura Crest Trail is Switzerland’s oldest long-distance route, with no shortage of spectacular trekking terrain. Although parts of the Via Jacobi date back to Roman times, so Switzerland’s camino is perhaps the real elder of the country’s trails.
