The world’s most photographed mountain
Whether you are an avid climber or just someone who loves a good photo, the Matterhorn is a must for your bucket-list. Like a jagged tooth, it juts up into the sky and it’s for a good reason that it is the most photographed mountain in the world. Its lonely peak is one of the most spectacular sights in the world and shouldn’t be missed on any trip to Switzerland.
Hiking Experience Unlike Any Other
There are two reasons why the hiking industry is so prominent in Switzerland. Firstly, it’s the Alpine countryside, which deserves its own spot on the list. The endless array of hiking trails offer a sheer number of eye-captivating landscapes that can be found all throughout Switzerland, no matter where you look. Grand snowcapped Alp mountains, lush spreads of dense pine tree forests, calm rivers that mimic the sky in their hue, all create a scenery right out of a kid’s dream.
Secondly, the majority of the hiking trails are well maintained, especially those that lay their path in close proximity to the marvelous Alps. If you are unsure of how to start off your list of things to do in Switzerland, then we suggest that you get to know the flora and fauna of the country that peacefully lives there by going for a hike!
The Scenic Rail Journeys
Switzerland is famous for its scenic train journeys that traverse through the mountains, valleys, and picturesque towns. Some of the most popular train journeys include the Glacier Express and Bernina Express. In the summer, these train journeys offer spectacular views of the Alps, meadows, and lakes.
The Lakes
Switzerland is home to some of the most beautiful lakes in Europe, with crystal clear waters surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery. Lake Geneva, Lake Zurich, and Lake Lucerne are just a few examples of the many lakes that offer a wide range of summer activities, from swimming and boating to relaxing on the shore.
Switzerland is home to breathtaking natural vistas
Whether you’re a photographer looking to capture the beauty of nature from behind the lens, or an artist ready to paint it out on a canvas, the natural sights of Switzerland are simply second to none. Need a bird’s-eye view? Visit Jungfraujoch to set foot in the region commonly known as the Top of Europe.
Or take a boat trip down the Rhine Falls, Europe’s largest waterfall, and experience the primal roar of nature as it engulfs your senses.
For more reasons to visit Switzerland, you can also head to Grindelwald Village. Located in the centre of the Bernese Mountains, this idyllic little town represents a perfect escape from metropolitan living. Expect to be surrounded by beautiful lakes, sloping meadows and charming treks.
