With truly awful weather on Easter Sunday in the north of Switzerland we jumped in the car and headed south to the blue skies, warm air and spring-time feel of Tessin, southern Switzerland. The easy, looping hike around the beautiful Val Capriasca has stunning views in all directions - well worth the drive!

A very pleasant wander through the rolling hills of Thurgau. Plenty of old farmhouses to pass by and villages en-route - with wonderful views towards Alpstein, Saentis and beyond to the Austrian Alps. A perfect spring-time hike!

This is one of the most beautiful stretches on the Rhine valley high path. It starts in St Margarethen, winds through woods, out into open areas with views of Lake Constance and later, has great views across the Rhine valley to the Alps. Stunning.

This is a walk between 2 lakes, up 2 mountain tops and through 3 cantons in north-eastern Switzerland. On a clear day you can see from Lake Constance all the way to the Bernese Alps. Well worth the effort of tackling the 1200 height meter ascent!

A beautiful walk along Lake Constance from Lindau to Wasserburg in southern Germany. It leads through old Villas, through parks, past fruit plantations and of course along the lake. There are lovely places to rest along the way and of course Lindau island at the end for an ice cream stop.

An easy path up to Monte Generoso and impressive views from the top make this hike absolutely stunning. As an added bonus it winds its way down through beautiful Italian style villages. And even though it goes up all the way to 1700m, it can be done in any season.

On a cold, bright winter's day we decided to explore the peninsula south of Lugano in southern Switzerland. A fantastic hike starting in a classical Tessin lakeside village, easy hiking through woods to a 360° over Lake Lugano. Perfect for a winter's day!

This stunning hike starts from Rebstein in the Rhine valley and ends in the town of St Gallen. It passes through beautiful and less well known areas of Appenzellerland. It is a perfect long day hike at almost any time of year - even in winter!

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.

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!
