Switzerland doesn’t need to oversell its mountains. The Bernese Oberland puts you face to face with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau on trails that link mountain villages through flower-filled meadows and past glacial lakes. The Engadine Valley in the east offers a different mood entirely: larch forests, wide-open high-altitude valleys, and a clarity of light that makes every photograph look edited.
The Bernese Oberland is the headline: trails beneath the Eiger, glacial lakes, and mountain railways that take the sting out of the steepest ascents. The Engadine is quieter, wider, and higher, with larch forests and a clarity of light found nowhere else in the Alps. Both are graded moderate to challenging.
Switzerland’s mountain terrain is better suited to walking than cycling for multi-day self-guided routes. Waybound’s Switzerland collection currently focuses on walking holidays, with routes chosen for the alpine scenery that only travel on foot can properly access.
