Hiking in Switzerland is a dream for many, with the country offering a diverse range of trails suitable for all abilities.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hiker, understanding what to expect and how to prepare can make all the difference.

In this episode, I am joined by seasoned Swiss hiking expert Tanya Deans from Swiss Family Fun. You'll learn about the beauty and challenges of Switzerland's most talked-about hikes. 

We're talking about trails that look incredible on social media but might require more experience from hikers than meets the eye. You'll find out what you need to consider before attempting popular routes like the Ebenalp to Seealpsee and Stoos Ridge hikes, ensuring you’re fully prepared for what lies ahead.

Discover practical tips on choosing the right trail for your experience level and hear personal stories that highlight why preparation is key in the Swiss Alps. From understanding trail classifications to packing the right gear, we cover it all to help you make the most of your time hiking the Swiss trails. 

We also discuss safer, yet equally scenic, alternatives for those who may not be ready for the most challenging paths. These options ensure you still get to experience the breathtaking views without the stress of navigating the more daunting trails.

Tune in now to gear up for your next great Swiss adventure!

Happy travels,

Carolyn
