Walking Tours in switzerland

Meiringen is the perfect centre for a Europe walking tour in summer and winter, being situated at the convergence of three of Switzerland's major passes, Grimsel, Susten, and Brunig. A superb integrated network of cable cars, post buses and trams can take you in all directions reaching spectacular locations quickly and easily. This small market town in the Hasli Valley has every facility yet remains unspoiled and typically Swiss – a place for the discerning traveller who wants to see the real Switzerland. Sir Arthur Conon-Doyle chose Meiringen for the location of Sherlock Holmes’ final conflict at the local Reichenbach Falls.

A walking tour in Switzerland based in Meiringen encompass all grades from gentle strolls to high ridges and even glacier exploring. In the spring you can follow the melting snows into meadows of glorious alpine flowers. In summer the high ridges and the rugged glacial scenery become accessible. In autumn the landscape is painted with a riot of colour as the first frosts come. We have developed a superb programme of beautiful walks in cooperation with the local tourist board. The potential for walking seems limitless.

For self guided walking you will be provided with a walking map, and an information pack which details over 20 walks and 15 excursions, along with general information, your edition will be geared to the season of your holiday.

Besides the walking programmes and numerous other activities (including swimming - open air and indoor heated pools, tennis, skating, cycling, and riding); there is meringue eating, for this is where the meringue was invented.
