The best panoramic tours in Switzerland

The most beautiful hikes to Switzerland's great panoramic classics: mountains that you simply must see, valleys that open up completely new views, lakes that lie like pearls in the landscape from a bird's eye view.

The proposed routes have been chosen so that they are off the beaten track as much as possible, but offer at least as many panoramic views. All walks are easy to do with an average level of fitness. Where they become more demanding, there are shortcuts.

The varied tours on the Swiss hiking trails take you through the entire Swiss mountain world: from Graubünden and Eastern Switzerland to Ticino and the Bernese Oberland, the Valais, Vaud and Central Switzerland. Panoramic trails with breathtaking views can be found everywhere in the Swiss Alps.

Hike to the Bergell power station, admire the view on the path under the spell of the Eiger from the Schynigen Platte over the Faulhorn to the First, take a circular walk in the glacier garden between the Sidelhorn and the Grimselpass or enjoy the panoramic tour from the Gornergrat to the Rote Nase.

With hiking maps, detailed information about each panoramic tour, such as difficulty, character and elevation gain, as well as travel, accommodation and catering along the way.

A book for all hiking enthusiasts who want to experience the Swiss Alps in all their beauty and diversity.
