Summer in the Swiss Alps
Heading for the Swiss Alps in the summer means that you’ll encounter dramatic landscapes, spectacular scenery and a fabulous alpine panorama. Switzerland boasts the first ski resort, popular mostly for skiing, but summer turns it into a true fairy-tale for climbers, walkers and hikers. The best time for a holiday is between June and September, when the weather is warm and settled. A total of 65,000 kilometers of clear hiking trails reveal unspoiled nature and ensure unforgettable views.

Summer hiking can be a great experience if you go to Grindelwald, which has gained fame as the capital of summer hiking in the Bernese Alps. Climbers will find challenges on the Matterhorn, and the marvellous Bernese Oberland region is enchanting with its mighty peaks, charming alpine villages, wooden chalets, crystal-clear lakes and verdant pastures, a great place to visit both in summer and winter. Those that are mad about skiing and snowboarding can still hit the 1,000-meter vertical drops on the Matterhorn glacier at Zermatt or the glacier at Saas Fee.

A replenishing and refreshing summer holiday is guaranteed whichever of the Swiss villages you choose, but some of them are particularly charming – Davos, Klosters, St. Moritz and Zermatt. There are various accommodation possibilities, including pension houses, youth hostels, wooden houses and stylish hotels. There’s something for everyone – vibrant resorts with exciting nightlife and quaint villages with onion-domed churches and traditional character. Enjoy your time, whenever you come
