Overview

Country Walkers

The mountain views are astonishing, but in Switzerland, the little things offer their own delight.

Three days staring at the majestic sweep of the Matterhorn haven’t dampened your enthusiasm. On yesterday’s walk you were admiring its chiseled beauty reflected in the Riffelsee. Today, it’s the dream backdrop for a lunch of beer and rösti on a sunny terrace in the meadows above Zermatt. Of course, Switzerland’s other mountains aren’t too bad either. Earlier this week on your Swiss Alps hiking tour, Jungfrau’s snowy summit had you equally hooked, as you rose high above the clouds on the cog railway to Jungfraujoch, and watched it towering above the waterfalls of Lauterbrunnen’s deep green valley. It’s hard to say which peak wins the beauty prize. For now, all you know is that there’s nowhere else you’d rather be.

Wengen
Zurich

Zurich

Zurich is often referred to as the "garden city on the lake". A stroll through the fascinating city will soon explain the reason for this. Zurich is one of the richest cantons in the country and home to the famous and very beautiful shopping street, Bahnhofstrasse. It is a bustling metropolis with many new buildings and modern architecture. Age-old landmarks and examples of unique design and artistic styles proliferate the city; the oldest and best preserved are most densely distributed in Neumarkt. The famous Grossmunster with its two tall towers is most dominant. Visit the late 15th century Wasserkiche and the Rathaus, a graceful town hall built in renaissance style. Famous for its traditional festivals and holiday celebrations, Downtown Niederdorf is the center of activities. From jazz clubs to restaurants & bars to cultural pursuits including galleries, museums and exhibitions, there is something interesting all year. To really get familiar with Zurich, experience it from the Lake of Zurich. The perspective of the city and its romantic surrounds from this vantage point is unique and not to be missed.
