Swiss hiking routes

Did you know that walking along all of Switzerland’s hiking trails would be the equivalent of going one-and-a-half times around the world?

Ascend a peak, hike through alpine meadows, explore a forest? You decide! Thanks to over 65'000km of waymarked trails, virtually every corner of Switzerland is waiting to be discovered. The paths are well marked and as varied as the scenery. For comparison: the whole of Switzerland has “only” 71'400km of roads and 5'100km of railway tracks.

The Swiss population spends 162 million hours on hiking trails each year, while 59% of all overight visitors in summer go hiking at least once during their stay.

Did you know that there are three types of hiking trail?
- 63% of them are yellow-signposted hiking trails
- 36% are yellow-signposted mountain hiking trails with white-red-white waymarks
- just under 1% are blue-signposted Alpine hiking trails

So where to start? SwitzerlandMobility’s obstacle-free hiking trail network is unparalleled in the world and presents a fabulous selection of local, regional and nation hiking routes - all way marked!
