THE MOUNTAIN CALLS
Thanks to over 65,000 kilometers of trails, virtually every corner of Switzerland is waiting to be explored! Whether you’re searching for less strenuous trails to walk with your family or an epic solo climb to conquer, this hiker’s paradise has something for everyone. With so many sights to see how can a nature-lover possibly choose which one to discover first? Never fear, we have you covered. Here are a few friendly suggestions for paths to explore this hiking season, and a piece of essential gear that is sure to keep you hydrated on your travels.
BORN TO BE WILD
Before planning out your first hike of the season, be sure to have a trusty bottle of water to get you through your journey. Our new Pathfinder bottle is the perfect companion for the trail. It’s light, easy to carry and made of high-quality robust materials that can handle the outdoors. It’s also leak proof - even when held upside down. This ingenious bottle is an essential piece of gear that will ensure you stay hydrated this hiking season.
ONE TRAIL, FIVE LAKES
For impressive views that even a novice can enjoy, the Zermatt five-lake trail is fantastic choice. Though the trail begins at an altitude of 2,500 meters, cable cars and mountain railways are available to take hikers up to Blauherd upper station to get started. From there you can meander along a path that is surprisingly flat as you discover the unique character of each lake. Zermatt offers phenomenal panoramas and the beautiful contrast between alpine peaks and placid waters. Enjoy a cool drink by the lakes from your favorite SIGG bottle!
AN OLD FAVORITE
For experienced hikers who want a real challenge the Jura Cresta Trail is sure to impress. Switzerland’s oldest long-distance hiking trail links Zurich and Lake Geneva as you traverse its sweeping arc over a 16-day journey. Jura is renowned for its barren and rocky landscapes that offer truly rugged sights. Don’t be intimidated by the length of the hike, the trail is littered with picturesque mountain inns that offer travelers a taste of traditional Swiss hospitality. Though not for novices, Jura has been enchanting visitors with its natural beauty for over a century. Just be sure to pace yourself and keep your Pathfinder bottle filled.
