Switzerland > Activities > Hiking & Walking
Switzerland is one of the world's most famous hiking countries. The number of trails is enormous and the scenery is wonderful, ranging from wildly romantic, to awesome or postcard-like blue lakes. The difficulty of the paths varies. While some require the skills of mountain goats, others can be done with prams or wheel-chairs. In our own descriptions of walks/hikes you will find information on the difficulty of the terrain.
On all hikes, it is recommended to carry water (about 1.5 liters per person) and a snack with you, and to use sunscreen (high SPF).
