Long-distance hikes in Switzerland
Europe
There is a large number of awsome long-distance hikes guiding through Switzerland. From day tours to challenging stage trails, the European inland has a lot to offer. The two-day route across the impressive Greina plateau is partially challenging but a great experience. Along the Walser Trail, you literally follow in the footsteps of the Walser from Thusis to Disentis. And the Sardona World Heritage Trail offers on its 84 km incredible views into the distance.
