With protected corners, the best places for picnics and breathtaking entertainment, mountainsides and flowering meadows, relaxing in the Swiss Alps is the perfect way to clear your mind and regain your strength.
To forget about your smartphone, you do not need to run to the ends of the world, where there is no cellular signal. Do you want to be alone with yourself, immerse yourself in contemplation, forgetting about everything in the world, or relax so that you can’t think of anything else?
Summer and autumn Switzerland is the best place for a digital detox.
Caution: these types of recreation are more addictive than social networks!
Procession of cows descending from alpine meadows
Every year, on the last Sunday of September, a festival procession takes place - a procession of horny beauties decorated with floral wreaths. They proudly descend from mountain pastures, where they enjoyed the sun all summer.
Accompanied by farmers, to the sound of bells, the herd solemnly enters the village of Sharm, where musicians meet him, playing on alpine horns.
Two (or 72?) Waterfalls
Trummelbach Falls erupts at a speed of 20 thousand liters of water per second.
If its beauty and power have taken your breath away, a walk from Lauterbrunnen allows you to see several more of the region's 72 waterfalls, including one of the highest in Europe - Staubbach waterfall.
Hidden deep in the mountains and melting glaciers, waterfalls are accessible to tourists: even elevators are at your service!
Sleep in an alpine hut
Rest in an old wooden house surrounded by meadows, where no man’s foot has stepped, and your loneliness will be disturbed only by birdsong - this is a vacationer's real dream.
No TV, high-speed communication channels, and some remote places can not be reached by car.
Guest houses in alpine meadows allow tourists to enjoy the peace and walks, watching the pristine nature.
Cycling routes
The 4.5 km long track for mountain bikers in Engelberg will amaze you with its steep slopes, the beauty of mountain lakes and magnificent glaciers.
The route is suitable for both beginner and advanced riders, offering 440 meters of descent with steep turns and rapids. The route is open from June to October.
Meeting with Capricorn
On the Niderhorn ridge, which offers stunning views of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains, you will surely meet imposing alpine goats. Their formidable horns are impressive!
Do not forget the binoculars and the camera!
Swiss vineyards
Lavaux terrace vineyards on the shores of Lake Geneva are protected by UNESCO!
After completing a 10-kilometer walk among the slender rows of vines that go beyond the horizon, which will take you about 4 hours, go to the village of Chebr to enjoy views of Lake Geneva with a glass of white wine.
Rhine bathing
Want to swim in the mighty Rhine, one of the most famous rivers in the world?
This opportunity cannot be missed. This task will be facilitated by the Wickelfisch special swimming bag, invented in Basel, the starting point of your swim.
A waterproof bag in the shape of a fish allows you to keep clothes and other things dry while you are rafting down the river, enjoying the beautiful architecture of the city.
Farm dishes
The cycling route through the Bernese part of the Jura Mountains is famous not only for its stunning views, but also for restaurants where you can appreciate the advantages of local cuisine.
Try Swiss butter and rsti-ryoshti (potato pancakes).
Fondue Mountain View
It is impossible to visit Switzerland and not try the fondue!
If you are a lover of good food, plan a "fondue tour" from the village of Gstad to the town of Zanen.
This region is famous for its cheeses. Take everything you need to have a picnic right in the fresh air!
Surfing and tanning
If you prefer outdoor activities, choose a hotel in Zurich that offers bike rental.
Jump into the saddle - and go to Lake Zurich, where you can ride on special balance boards.
Want to sunbathe? Visit the ancient public open-air baths on the Limmat River.
It is not necessary to strip naked, but it is necessary to stretch out under the midday sun in order to consider your "Swiss detox" successfully completed!
