　　At Mönchsjochhütte, 3650m up into the mountains, you’ll share your dinner table and dorm with hardcore rock climbers, psyching themselves up to tackle Eiger or Mönch. It’s worth tumbling out of your bunk at dawn to catch sunrise.

Mönchsjochhütte
Switzerland
　　At Mönchsjochhütte, 3650m up into the mountains, you’ll share your dinner table and dorm with hardcore rock climbers, psyching themselves up to tackle Eiger or Mönch. It’s worth tumbling out of your bunk at dawn to catch sunrise. ...
Rheinfall
Switzerland
　　Ensnared in wispy spray, the thunderous Rheinfall might not give Niagara much competition in height (23m), width (150m) or even flow of water (700 cu metres per second in summer), but Europe's largest plain waterfall is stunning nonetheless. Trails thread up and along its shore, with viewpoints providing abundant photo...
Château de Chillon
Switzerland
　　If ever a castle could fit the fairy-tale bill, the dashingly handsome Château de Chillon would be it, with its moat, double ramparts and riot of turrets and towers, plus knockout views of Lake Geneva and the French Alps. Scenically plonked on a rocky, oval-shaped island near Montreux, this is...
Furka Pass
Switzerland
　　Marking the cantonal frontier with Uri is the vertiginous Furka Pass (2431m), the run up to which offers superlative views over the fissured Rhône glacier. From the tiny Valais village of Gletsch (1762m) the road climbs almost continuously for 10km to the pass. Generally opening about 1 June each year...
Swiss National Park
Switzerland
　　When an environmentally on-the-ball land like Switzerland has just one national park, you can bet it’s a good one. Huddled away in the far southeast of the country, where the snow-frosted Swiss Alps muscle their way into Italy, this 172-sq-km park is a nature-gone-wild spectacle of high moors, forests, wildflower-freckled...
Castelgrande
Switzerland
　　Rising dramatically above the Old Town, this medieval stronghold is Bellinzona’s most visible icon. Head up Salita San Michele from Piazza Collegiata, or take the lift, buried deep in the rocky hill in an extraordinary concrete bunker-style construction, from Piazza del Sole. After wandering the grounds and the museum, stroll...
Rütli Meadow
Switzerland
　　Perched on hillside above Lake Uri's western shore, this meadow is the legendary cradle of Swiss democracy. It was here that the Oath of Eternal Allegiance was allegedly signed by the cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Nidwalden (1291) and where General Guisan gathered the Swiss army during WWII in a...
Stiftsbibliothek
Switzerland
　　If the greatest masterpieces on earth are wrought for the glory of God, St Gallen’s Stiftsbibliothek (Abbey Library), is like a living prayer. Religious or not, you can’t help but look up to the heavens and fall silent as you step across its creaking wood floor, breathe in the scent...
Jungfraujoch
Switzerland
　　This is the big one. At 3454m above sea level, Jungfraujoch is Europe’s highest train station: a once-in-a-lifetime trip, with views of the deeply crevassed Aletsch Glacier and a never-ending ripple of sky-high Alpine peaks to make you gasp out loud. 　　A little underwhelmingly for train enthusiasts, the station itself...
Fiesch & Eggishorn Cable Car
Switzerland
　　The Aletsch Glacier is a mind-boggling sight and riverside Fiesch on the valley floor is a top place to access it. From the village, ride the cable car up to Fiescheralp, change to the Eggishorn cable car and continue up to Eggishorn (2927m). Nothing can prepare you for what awaits...
Swiss National Park Centre
Switzerland
　　At the hands-on Swiss National Park Centre, an audioguide gives you the low-down on conservation, wildlife and environmental change. Staff can provide details on hikes in the park, including the three-hour hike from S-chanf to Alp Trupchun (particularly popular in autumn, when you might spy rutting deer), and the less...
Aletsch Glacier
Switzerland
　　If ever a view in Switzerland is going to leave you dumbstruck (and there are a few great ones to choose from!), it will surely be the infinite swoop of the Aletsch Glacier, the largest ice stream in the Alps. On cloudless days, great razor-like peaks poke 4000m above it,...
