Many ways lead to rome: So we'd like to recommend either one of the following routes:
Sanetsch-Muveran Hike: 3-4 Stages + Extension (my recommendation)
From the Bernese Oberland into the Valais and on to Vaud. The Sanetsch-Muveran-Weg has stunning panoramic views and landscape elements in store: Les Diablerets, the Tsanfleuron karst field and the Derborence landslide area.
«Derborence, the word has a soft ring; the sound lingers in the ears, soft and rather sorrowful. It begins with a solid, authoritative sound, then falters and falls into emptiness while we are still letting it ring; Derborence; as if it wanted to suggest doom, isolation and oblivion.» Another book which belongs in your rucksack: «Derborence» by Charles Ferdinand Ramuz tells of the landslide on Derborence but is also a love story. The book makes you keen to start out on the Sanetsch-Muveran-Weg. Because Ramuz' descriptions of the scenery are as beautiful as the route itself.
The Sanetsch-Muveran-Weg begins in the Saanen region, on the first day leading over the Col du Sanetsch, a historic pass from the Bernese Oberland into the Valais. On the second stage, the scenery is dominated by the glaciated «devil's mountains» of Les Diablerets and the Tsanfleuron karst fields, while the steep route leads down into the landslide area of Derborence, with its lake and primeval forest, grown over a period of three hundred years.
Via Alpina: From Engelberg to Kandersteg (5-6 stages)
The Via Alpina crosses 14 of the most beautiful Alpine passes. Hikers experience a fascinating variety of culture, geology and topography on a journey across seven Swiss cantons. Peaceful oases of relaxation alternate with flourishing tourist centres.
Wide roads end in dizzying, breezy ridge trails. There’s no better way to get to know the many facets of Swiss Alpine culture. Discover ultra-modern alps with pipelines and a showroom on the path as well as alp huts where pigs, goats and cows watch an Alpine herdsman making cheese in a copper cauldron over an open fire.
The scene changes from a pleasant family holiday resort to stylish Gstaad. The route is lined with one of the world’s most diverse variety of flora and fauna. Shifts, thrusts, depressions and rockfalls are evidence of an interesting geological structure. Breathtaking panoramas interchange with tiny wayside gems and there are many gastronomic treats in store.
Alpine Panorama Trail: Münsingen to Gruyère (5-6 Stages)
As the name promises, the Alpine Panorama Trail offers many views of Alpine peaks as well as of the Mittelland and Jura. The trail leads from Rorschach on the Bodensee through the Appenzell region, Toggenburg, Central Switzerland, Emmental, the Schwarzenburg and Gruyère regions to the Lac Léman Riviera, ending in the metropolis of Genève.
For most of the way, the route passes through farmland in the Alpine foothills, where dairy farming has long been tradition. Cattle grazing in pastures and cheese dishes served in mountain taverns are two constant companions on the Alpine Panorama Trail. Wine growing first begins to dominate the scene at Lac Léman (Lavaux, La Côte).
Also typical of the Alpine foothills are the scattered settlements dating back to individual occupation of land by the Alemanni in the early Middle Ages. The widely-scattered homesteads in the Appenzell region and the individual farmsteads on the crests and in the crannies of the Napf region are perfect examples of the traditional agricultural landscape of Swiss Alpine foothills.
Alpine Passes Trail: Saas-Fee to Evoléne (6 Stages)
Hiking over passes is a special discipline with its own devotees. It’s not mountaineers seeking spectacular summit views or the satisfaction of conquering the mountain but hikers driven by curiosity who wend their way up the «Furggeln» or «Bocchette» passes. Because every pass holds the secret of the unknown on the other side. What’s on the map is not enough; the aim is to discover a new world with each valley – and to leave the old one behind.
The Alpine Passes Trail strings together many of the most beautiful and impressive passes in the Graubunden and Valais Alps on one continuous route. The result is a challenging but fascinating Alpine hiking tour with 43 stages. One highlight follows another, from the Greina Plateau to the passes and lake landscape at the foot of the Dents du Midi. Clearly it’s not likely that all stages will be covered at one time – but it can be hiked in sections. One major advantage of hiking the passes is the opportunity to leave or join the route in any valley between two passes.
