Extended tours
| Multi day tours:
I'm usually doing day hikes (Zug is a good base). If you'd rather spend the night in the
mountains and/or are looking for multiple day tours, there are some ideas
in the
tables below.
Some of the trails have been mentioned in this homepage as day tours.
It's probably a good idea, before leaving to check whether accommodation
will be available. |
| Other areas:
Switzerland is a small country, but nevertheless, landscapes,
languages, cultures, also the climate can be quite different.
Included in this page are notes from other regions that I've been to
and have found interesting for hiking.
It'll take some time to get into this regions. Therefore it's best to
spend a couple of days there.
| Chamoson:
The first thing recognized on entering the Rhone valley from the
West are the many Vineyards. Hardly a hill without smaller or
larger areas with Vines. Winding roads add to the picture. Part of
the scenery are the many Villages, small towns and Tourist destinations, where
most of the houses are in the typical Chalet
style. |
| Nendaz:
On the other side of the Rhone valley, this region too offers
lovely hiking tracks and ski slopes. |
| Crans Montana:
There
is not only the two Towns, Hotels, Golf courses, Tennis,
Casino…there are also hiking tracks for every taste: easy walks
on flat terrain, mountain tracks, or climbing in rocky terrain
