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!

Leaving from Capolago-Riva San Vitale railway station, by Lake Lugano, you'll soon reach the steep slopes of Monte Generoso and its enchanting mountain train which opened in 1890. After an enchanting forty minute journey through the unspoilt natural landscape, you reach the base of the summit (1704m). From this point you can enjoy one of the most thrilling 360° panoramas anywhere in Switzerland. The view of the Alps is unique, and gives you a wonderful 'birds eye view' across the north of Italy, the Lakes region and the alpine chain.Follow the circular trail to discover the ten or so "nevere", ancient versions of our modern fridges. These fascinating cylindrical stone buildings were built by the farming communities to preserve their milk before making it into butter and cheese. This little concentration of these remarkable structures is unparalleled anywhere else in Switzerland. From the station at the top, you can also follow the path along the eastern ridge which arrives firstly at the Nadigh alpage and, shortly after, through a pretty level section flanked by limestone slabs from the local quarries, the Genor alpage. Immediately after, the trail heads gently back up to the railway station, from where you can take the little train again once again to descend to Capolago.

I have been visiting Mayrhofen Summer and Winter since 1980’s. The walking trails are brilliant. Easy to follow, regular stopping places to admire the view, different levels of ability. It is fun catching the bus to Branberg then walking back down along the Zillertal valley.

In the Heididorf, visitors immerse into the "Dörfli" from the world-famous novel Heidi and discover the home of Heidi. Experience an emotional journey in time back to the Swiss mountains of the late 19th century and enjoy the place, where the Swiss writer Johanna Spyri found the inspiration for her world-famous novel Heidi.
