Swiss Alps

Why travellers choose Swiss Alps

The Swiss Alps are the easiest mountains in the world to travel: trains reach almost every valley, and cable cars carry you from lakeside towns to glacier viewpoints in under an hour. Interlaken sits between two lakes and works as the natural base.

Summer brings hiking, paragliding and lake swimming; winter turns the same valleys into ski country. Either way the scenery does the heavy lifting — this is the trip travellers most often call the one worth saving for.
