Best hikes in Switzerland - Hiking in Switzerland

When Nature paints a backdrop as sublime as the Dents du Midi and the Dents Blanches mountains, anything else should pale in comparison. Not so in the Region Dents du Midi… Here, everything seems designed to enhance the rest, from the tiny alpine wildflower to the lush forest to the mirrored surface of a mountain lake or the icy bulk of an ancient glacier.

ANIMALIA APLENTY

The verdant Illiez Valley is home to long-standing pastoral traditions, but the rugged landscape of the Dents du Midi still includes vast tracts of untouched alpine wilderness. This means that while the hillsides echo with the chiming of sheep, goat, and cowbells, the shady forests and steep mountainsides are also home to a multitude of other bright-eyed, bushy-tailed inhabitants.
