Sports and Activities in Switzerland

 
 
 
 
   

Hike

Switzerland is a great country to hike in the mountains. For instant in the Engadin, the Berner Oberland with the Jungfraujoch, or in Ticino. Or take a walk over the Aletsch Glacier, an UNESCO World Heritage. Or last but not least the Matterhorn above Zermatt.
 
 
 
   

Ski & Snowboard

St. Moritz or Gstaad are the more sophisticated places to ski. Smallers spots are Bettmeralp or Engelberg near Luzern.
 
 
 
   

Cycling and Mountainbiking

The mountain bike (MTB) is ideal for exploring Switzerland away from streams of traffic. A dense network of paths already exists and the choice of local and regional MTB routes is steadily increasing. Route guides and maps describe interesting tours and excursions to suit all levels of ability.
 
 
 
   

Riverrafting & Canyoning
