There are stunning hikes and then there are STUNNING hikes. This one is the latter. It starts in Tamins and leads along the northern edge of the Swiss Grand Canyon to Ilanz, offering fantastic views along the way.

With snow on the higher mountains and the beech trees in their autumnal best, we decided for a stroll / hike in Toggenberg. Cute villages, rolling hills, great views - what more could you want for an early November hike?

Every year we look forward to the annual autumnal hike in the Swiss National Park in Graubünden. And this year was one of the best - simply stunning... a highly recommended hike!

This wonderful hike starts in the spa town of Bad Ragaz and into the impressive Tamina gorge where the source of the 36°C spa water can also be visited.  It then climbs steeply out of the gorge over a natural bridge spanning the gorge to the town of Pfäfers and finally down through pretty local vineyards.

This hike is stunning. Simply stunning - the Dolomites at their most spectacular with views to Piz Boe and Marmolada - two giants of the Dolomites in north-east Italy.

A beautiful circular hike starting at the stunning Vilsalpsee in Tyrol and then passing two other Alpine lakes. It does mean going up and down over 3 saddles, so be prepared! But it is an incredibly pretty area of the Alps!

This hike in Graubünden, eastern Switzerland from Versam in the Vorderrhein valley to Tenna in the Safien valley has great, ever changing views - over the Swiss grand canyon to the Flims ski area and across the lush meadows above Tenna into the Safien valley. Fantastic!

We wanted to hike up Besler - a lovely peak close to the Riedbergpass in Allgäu. To avoid the noise of the busy pass road we decided to start in Austria, cycle to Rohrmoos and hike up from the south side - a real international hike!

This is a beautiful hike starting on the western Austrian / southern German border with bubbling streams, cute villages, stunning views of the alps and an ice cream at the end. A perfect outing for the whole family!

The Brenta Dolomites area in north-east Italy is quieter than the "regular" Dolomites, but wow - they are just as stunning. This hike is certainly no walk in the park - long, steep and some pretty exposed sections. Only take on this hike if you are very experienced and confident. But it is spectacular!

This a lovely, lovely stroll. Starting in beautiful Ascona it follows the shore of Lago Maggiore to the pretty town of Brissago. Frequent ferries will bring you back to Ascona with the option to stop off on the Isola Brissago.

We wanted to spend a day and a half exploring one of the very quiet areas of Tessin. We chose to hike up to Pizzo Campo Tencia with an overnight in the very rustic Corta Mez. A real experience!
