The Matterhorn

This imposing mountain towers 14,700 feet on the Swiss-Italian border.

The towering peak of the Matterhorn straddles Switzerland and Italy is an amazing mountain that everyone should have on their bucket list. One of the mountain's secrets is that it has an igloo village at the mountain's base.

Bernina Pass

Reviewed By CathyAquilla - Budleigh Salterton, United Kingdom

Despite the day being a bit grey and damp, we boarded the Bernina Express in Chur and were soon passing through beautiful mountain scenery. The journey was very interesting and the views stunning until we got to Alp Grum when the clouds descended and the views were minimal due to the weather. Having said that, we met a young couple from Honduras, Central America, who had not seen snow before, and at Alp Grum the train halted so that we could go into the snow on the platform - snowballs were gently hurled, and we gazed into the gloom to try and see the mountains. The recorded travelogue which was obviously good when the weather was good (Summer and Autumn) said that we would see a beautiful turquoise lake into which a glacier poured - we had to imagine this! Really enjoyed this trip and preferred it to the Glacier Express.

Lovely walk to the glacier, and along the path you have signs letting you know how the glacier has changed over the years. Highly recommend! The food in the restaurant by the train is very good aswell!

Valle Verzasca

Reviewed By WeakKneeTraveler - Singapore, Singapore

Came here as a day trip from Zurich. This little place is absolutely gorgeous. You can go across the old stone bridge to the opposite side too. The drive up to this spot was really scenic too. Recommended.

Klettersteig Daubenhorn

Reviewed By GiuliaTraveller - Geneva, Switzerland

Not many mountain lakes are just a few steps from the cable car; Daubensee is one of them and it is definitely worth visiting it. The view is amazing and changes every 50m along the loop around the lake. The reflection of the mountains on the water is incredible and there are many spots for nice pics. Therefore, consider more than 2 hours to complete the loop, especially if there is snow on the path. And take some food with you, so you can have a pic-nic with a view, and what a view!
