Hiking and Trekking in Switzerland

Grüezi!

My hobby is hiking, so I collect all the information available on this subject..

The latest hikes: Actual

Swiss hiking and tourist links in English for your plans

Trip advisor forums for Switzerland

How to find an itinerary on my (German) website:

Choose a hike from one of the lists .1-day hikes.or .2-day hikes.or .winter hikes. or trekking list. The summary gives you all the information you need: distance, walking time, altitude, region, webcam
At the end of each trail description you will find additional information, such as maps, hotels, restaurants and tourist links
Have also a try at the long link-list of hiking tips in the internet

This homepage it specialised in trekking trails in Switzerland und the border-region. To walk a long distant trail for several days means relaxation and recovery. Please also consult the trekking list which already includes more than 150 self guided long distant walks. Here are some with especially detailed descriptions (for English - try the Google-translation):

Crossing Switzerland on Foot (Alpenpassroute in English)
Trans Swiss Trail 1: Porrentruy - Chiasso
Trans Swiss Trail 2: Rorschach - Genf (also called "Alpenpanoramaweg"

"This trek is in my opinion the best one. It has the high quality of Coast to Coast Walk or Offa's Dyke Path in Great Britain"

More to be found in the trekking list - some of them guided and/or with luggage transport

Hiking with children, a special site

Translation in English is available for this head site only.

You want to let translate the whole wandersite? Try: Google translation machine

If you would like to send me a better translation of one or several sites yourself, you are welcome!

When you choose one of hikes or long distance walks, you will find the description in German only; but the information (addresses of accommodation, tourist offices, literature, maps) you will understand in any language.

Public transport in Switzerland is excellent. Most of my tours go from one place to another, and you will have no difficulty in getting back to the starting point by bus or train if necessary. Thanks to internet, where you can find

timetables: http://www.sbb.ch (another English website explaining the different tickets: http://www.stc.co.uk/swisstravelsystem.html)
digital maps: http://www.mapplus.ch
and addresses: http://www.tel.search.ch

planning has become quite easy.

I collect all links which could be interesting for hikers:

accomodations, timetables, excursions, weather, helplines

Outdoor-organisations and clubs offering guided tours

Online panorama and hiking maps

Hiking packages with hotel-accomodation - guided walking holidays

The hiking net in Switzerland is one of the best best marked all over the world - about 68'000 kilometers are at your disposal!

Note: You are responsible for your own security. Depending on weather and equipment, even an easy hike can become dangerous. Please consult the weather forecast and have a look at a weather camera.

Last but not least: All information in this website is given free or charge. On the other hand, Wandersite declines any liability in connection with this information, including all links.

Are you puzzled about the various train tickets, the regional passes and the Swiss Travel System, you will find all the necessary information in: http://www.railaway.com.

Wishing you a HAPPY WALKING and, if in the meantime you note any changes (telephone numers, hotels, addresses, etc.), please let me know. Your cooperation will be much appreciated.
