The
Picturesque Switzerland by Ivaylo Yordanov
Grindelwald
Featured Hotels
For the different people,
Switzerland is associated with different things and attracts with hundreds
of museums and splendid cultural life. However, is it not actually its
nature that is most worth seeing?
| Although a pretty small
country, Switzerland is a very famous one. The strange thing is that for
the different people, Switzerland is famous with different things. When
it comes to this country, some of us think of the wide variety of world-known
cheeses it makes. Others think of the unbreakable watches made there or
the popular Swiss banks. But for myself, I have found another great side
of the country its gorgeous nature. That is why, as a nature-lover, I will
try to present here the most beautiful places you can visit for a walk
or drive.
For those of you who want
to explore on foot and are not afraid of walking a bit more, here are some
perfect places for doing so. A place that offers great views is Mount Santis
at 2 502 meters above the sea level. It is perhaps the most impressive
mount in the Alps and you can start your hike from the Wasserrauen village
nearby. To Wasserrauen can get by train from another village - Appenzell.
From Wasserrauen you can cross the 8,9 kilometer distance to Schwagalp,
which is around 5 hours walk. From the Schwagalp village by cable car you
will get to the platform, from where you can see the mount itself.
Another pretty famous walk is called The Great Watershed (Grosse Scheidegg).
It is located in the Jungfrau region (central Switzerland) and can offer
breathtaking views of glaciers and mountains |

You can also see the massive
rocks of the Wetterhorn. You can begin walking from the Meiringen village
and finish in the Grindelwald resort, 21 kilometers farther. And there
are also bust stops along the road.

Another hiking path is the
Burgenstock Felsenweg, located in the area of Lake Lucerne. The landscape
there will probably leave you breathless as it is one of the greatest in
Switzerland. You can start from the Burgenstock resort and finish in Ennetburgen.
The distance is around 7 kilometers and passes through gorgeous views of
Mount Pilatus and Lake Lucerne.
I would also suggest visiting
the lakes in the Upper Engadine. They are four in total and are located
1 771 meters above the sea level, but the hiking path is not steep at all.
The distance is 14 kilometers and offers views of lakes and mountain ranges.
You can begin from Maloja,
pass through the gorgeous village Segl-Maria and finish on the banks of
the lake in the Silvaplana resort (around 3 hours).
And finally I will just mention
the most famous and beautiful drives. Perhaps the most popular is the road
above the Great St. Bernard Pass, beginning from Zurich or Basel and ending
in Italy. The road over the Furka Pass offers some amazing views of the
nearby glacier. |
St. Gotthard Pass Road and
the road over the Bernina Pass are also marvelous and popular but especially
the last one can be dangerous if the winding road is icy. While the above
mentioned may be surrounded by some bridges, the Simplon Pass Road fully
uncovers the unspoilt beauty of the mountainous landscape. There are many
other places one can write about, but the most important thing is that
if you want to get away from the big city traffic, you should try discovering
the nature beauty of Switzerland.
