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.

Creux du Van

Reviewed By Calliopehk

Well worth the trip out here - we did the circuit hike. First half pretty steep up and a bit muddy. Most descriptions didn’t mention but there are quite a few places to have a meal on the way including the farm at the top, as well as to refill water. Also great scenic picnic spots so worth coming for the day.

Via Ferrata

Reviewed By Vaulers2033 - Chicago, United States

Rather than explain what this is like, just search “Murren Via Ferrata “ on YouTube and you’ll see exactly what you’re in for. It’s one of the most amazing things we’ve ever done! You do need to be in good shape and it’s one of the best leg workouts you’ll ever get. We were sore for days but it was worth it! Allow some extra time before or after to walk around Murren. It’s a beautiful town with some great shops and places to eat. I highly recommend taking a Go-Pro on this adventure. I bought one just for this trip and it was worth every penny because we came back with amazing footage. They don’t rent them but you can ask for a helmet with a mount although you should bring your own device that connects the camera to the helmet mount. Also be sure to turn the power off when you’re not taking video since the hike is longer than the battery life. The new cameras all come with voice control so turning it on and off is easy and hands-free.

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.

We want to take your skiing to the next level. It's that simple.

We offer Private Ski Lessons, Off Piste Lessons, Women's Camps and Ski Instructor Training Programmes. And we'd love to hear from you.

Reviewed By V_Not_For_Vendetta - Leuven, Belgium

As a group of complete beginners, we have skied with 4 different instructors from Element so far. Each individual instructor had their own teaching style, but all brought learnings that complemented our continued improvement overall. Will, Guy, Jack and Tom all put us at ease and were great fun to work with! Emma & Lucy were also great with helping us book or amend lessons. They were flexible, friendly, client-centric: can definitely recommend the team! (In fact I did actually recommend them and brought some additional friends to book with the school since our first lessons). Thanks Team Element, keep up the good work!

Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge

A monument for the mountain panorama The pedestrian suspension bridge, named after main sponsor Charles Kuonen, measures a proud 494 meters in length and stretches up to a height of 85 meters above the Grabengufer ravine in Mattertal valley. The bridge is intended to be a “monument for the mountain panorama”, whereby utmost emphasis was placed on interfering as little as possible with nature – a design that worked. The transparent construction of steel cable and wire mesh integrates perfectly into the environment. Working at a dizzying height, Swiss company swissrope finished construction of the bridge in only two and a half months by using special “assembly sleds”

What an adventure to climb up to the Suspension Bridge! The hike was not at all easy, but very rewarding once you've reached the top. Four families with children (ages 8 - 10 ) and 2 Shitzu dogs (one lazy - had to be encouraged and the other one pushing forward and encouraging us) all had a wonderful time. We absorbed the beauty of nature, the fresh smell of the trees, and the breathtaking views. Some of us didn't reach the top, because they were not prepared for a steep hike such as this one. They climbed down and had ice-cream and french fries in a small pub. However, if you are well prepared, mentally, and physically, you'll have an unforgettable day. Make sure to have enough water (there are fountains of fresh cold water in the village) and some fruit and snacks. Bring or find a walking stick, especially for the climb down. It is much nicer to do it with friends, the kids chatted all the way through and were way ahead of us. This adventure is free and freeing!

Jungfrau

A mountain chain popular for its scenic beauty and great skiing.

Reviewed By Ivisitedtheplace - Israel, null

Yes- that’s the description of this this activity on this tripadvisor page. It is about the complete general area. It is not about the specific place known as Jungfraujoch, “the top of Europe,” so stop writing about that. Now back to business- this is a fantastic scenic lovely panoramic breathtaking glorious region of majestic towering snow capped mountains ... and so many mountain trails, hikes and excursions. Suffice to say that the people who ask me why I keep returning every year are the people who have never been here. It’s so worth a visit. So look at my many photos!!
