Walking in Switzerland takes us literally to the top of the world. For centuries, the Swiss have mastered these mountains, opening trading routes through the Alpine range to bring cheeses, salt and spices to Roman Italy. Today, highly efficient cable cars, cog railways, and chairlifts bring walkers to trails high above the treetops and we walk through verdant meadows bursting with wildflowers under vivid blue skies. On every side are the legendary mountains of The Bernese Alps - Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau their white peaks brilliant in the clear air. Below, are mountain lakes, woodlands and pastures. The only sound is the tinkle of cowbells carried on the Alpine breeze. Picture perfect towns and cosmopolitan cities combine the best of Swiss tradition and contemporary achievement.
