Flower-filled meadows and tall, deep-green forests sweep up the rugged slopes of the Alps, whose peaks reach into the bright and sunny sky. Return in winter for a transformed landscape, staying in cosy retreats tucked into the mountains.
The sheer majesty and awe-inspiring beauty of the Swiss Alps cannot be overstated, and it is no wonder that travellers have been drawn here for centuries to marvel at the likes of the Matterhorn and Eiger, both of which tower over 4,000 metres into the sky.
As well as being one of the world’s best places to walk – with fresh mountain air, precise waymarking and tasty, replenishing cuisine – Switzerland is also a perfect winter destination as well as a wonderful country to explore by rail. Not only is the Swiss transport system highly efficient, but, thanks to some incredible feats of engineering, the trains are able to travel easily through some of the planet’s most unforgiving terrain, affording truly incredible views.
Beneath the towering, jagged peaks for which it’s known, the landscape is a patchwork of lush alpine pastures, traditional villages with flower-bedecked chalets, rolling green hills, and shady forests. Visit from mid-June to mid-July, when the region’s meadows display impressive arrays of colourful wildflowers.
