Will you be holidaying in Switzerland this year? Then don’t miss out on the tips from "Switzerland Tourism". Here’s a taster to get you in the vacation mood: Drink in the fresh mountain air on the "Via Alpina" hiking trail in 20 daily stages – or as many as you like. Enjoy the breathtaking views on a hiking tour or experience a magical sunrise at the Matterhorn. For those who enjoy spending time on and in the water, "Switzerland Tourism" takes you to the most beautiful lakes in which to bathe, rivers for long walks, and roaring waterfalls at which to linger. Or would you prefer to get around on two wheels rather than two feet? If so, you’ll find that you’re catered for to perfection with more than 12,000 km of cycling paths . With an e-bike from "OLEYVO" you can cycle through the countryside more comfortably – and with a CHF 300.- discount.

Mindful travel

Respecting the environment is also important when traveling. Only then will future generations be able to enjoy our wonders of nature like us. "Switzerland Tourism" has therefore created a practical guide  to help make sure that you leave as small a carbon footprint as possible on your travels. Those who prepare for their upcoming vacation by reading the tips on public transportation, travel times and regionality also tend to travel more authentically – and enjoy unique travel experiences. The guide is also a valuable resource for travelers visiting Switzerland from abroad.
