From one peak to the next, through rocky terrain or over gently crunching snow: multi-day tours in the Swiss mountains are also very popular in winter. In most cases, however, skis or a snowboard are required, with the exception of the Engadine, where winter hikers get their money's worth.
The Haute Route is the “Queen of ski tours”. With a total distance of 180 kilometers, it leads from Chamonix in France over numerous three-thousanders to Zermatt in Switzerland, from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn. Challenging climbs and impressive descents lie ahead, requiring both physical and mental endurance. Framed by the most majestic mountains in the Alps, you move from one mountain hut to the next - an unforgettable experience.
Another breathtaking tour leads through the Bernese Oberland. A challenging journey through the Bernese Alps begins from the imposing north face of the Eiger. The route leads over endless snowfields, steep gaps and wide saddles from Jungfraujoch to the Fiescherhörner and finally to the Finsteraarhornhütte. The ascent to Finsteraarhorn and descents to Weissnollen or Wannenhorn are the highlights of this route. The tour in the Bernese Oberland ends with a breathtaking descent over the Anungletscher into the Lötschental.
The wild W's: multi-day ski tour in the western Bernese Oberland
The multi-day ski tour through the western Bernese Oberland, also known as the wild W's, leads through the Diablerets massif over the peaks of Wildhorn and Wildstrubel. From hut to hut you go through one of the most fascinating regions of the Bernese Oberland. Start with a cable car ride to Sex Rouge, follow a descent to the Sanetsch Pass and experience challenging climbs to peaks like the Arpelistock and the Wildhorn. The tour ends with a spectacular descent through the Lämmerental into the Üschenental to Kandersteg.
Ski tour for everyone and every woman
In the picturesque Val d'Hérens in the French part of the canton of Valais, even complete beginners can go on a ski tour. Between majestic mountain peaks that rise to an impressive 3500 to 4000 meters, tourers on the fascinating Maya Nivo Trail not only experience the breathtaking nature, but also receive valuable information about snow conditions and safety along the way.
Fantastic long-distance hike without skis
The Via Engiadina is a popular long-distance hiking route and is also possible in winter. Then the classic mountain trail leads over 160 kilometers through the wonderfully snow-covered Engadine landscape and picturesque villages and forests from the Upper to the Lower Engadine. The snow-capped mountains provide a magical backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts looking to experience the region's winter splendor. On the way you will encounter the characteristic Engadin houses and hike through fairytale forests, past frozen lakes. The silence of winter nature and the majestic beauty of the snow-covered Alps make the Via Engiadina an unforgettable experience for hikers and nature lovers, even at this time of year. The luggage is transported from hut to hut so that the day tours can be completed comfortably with a daypack.
