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 Trift Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the Triftsee lake and offers a thrilling experience with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and glaciers. This bridge was built in 2004 (a.k.a. the New Trift Bridge) to replace an older one that was destroyed by a rockfall, and is 560 feet long and 330 feet high above the water. It

You can reach the bridge by taking a cable car and then hiking for about 1.5 hours. The hike can be challenging, but it is worth it for the spectacular scenery and the unique experience of crossing the bridge.

Please be advised that that the bridge is not suitable for people who suffer from vertigo or have a fear of heights, as the bridge sways slightly in the wind and can be quite narrow in places.
