The Swiss Alps are on every hiker's bucket list and for good reason. These mountains are legendary for their dramatic alpine terrain, pristine lakes and rivers, and for being the birthplace of modern mountaineering. Oh and if you happen to like fresh baked bread, cheese, and wine for your post-hike meal, Switzerland will be your paradise.
