Mountain Paradise

Switzerland

Spring brings beautiful vivid-green meadows with blooming flowers and cows just released to graze. Most activities are open but beware of closed trails due to not yet melted snow.

Spring

Summer features the best weather and vibes. The days are sunny but not hot, towns are relaxed. The only downside is the occasional crowds, but it never gets too busy.

Summer

It gets beautiful in the fall when snowy peaks start contrasting with foliage. It starts to become chilly, but most sights and trails are still open and the crowds are pretty much gone.

Fall

Switzerland transforms into a totally different place during winter with some of the best ski resorts in the world. But most of the attractions lose their appeal, so we do not recommend winters except for a ski escape.

A Journey Up in Heavens

Switzerland – A Journey Up in Heavens

The Faulhorn Trail is an incredible hiking adventure that showcases the best of the Swiss Alps.

We recommend taking a cable car up to the First Summit, where you'll be treated to sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. From there, the trail winds its way through alpine meadows and pastures, leading to the crystal-clear waters of Bachalpsee, a stunning mountain lake that is known for its emerald-green hue.

Continuing on, the trail ascends to the summit of Faulhorn, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and alpine lakes. At an elevation of 8,800 feet, the summit of Faulhorn is the perfect spot to take in the breathtaking beauty of the Swiss Alps.

From the summit, the trail descends to the charming town of Bussalp, where you can relax and enjoy a well-deserved meal or drink at one of the local restaurants or cafes.

Overall, the Faulhorn Trail is a challenging yet rewarding adventure that offers a true immersion in the natural beauty of the Swiss Alps.
