Why these

A moment you’ll talk about at home

A lake reflecting the peaks, a glacier up close, a view that suddenly opens up, a path full of history.

Three per region

Valais, the Bernese Oberland and the Vaud Alps: three hikes in each. This is our pick, not an official ranking.

Then, hikers decide

You can leave a review on every hike. Once hikers have left enough, the order of this page will follow their ratings.

Questions people ask

How did you choose these hikes?

It's Bivio's own pick: three hikes per region, for a lake, a glacier, a view or a path with history. It isn't an official ranking.

Why only three regions?

For now Bivio covers Valais, the Bernese Oberland and the Vaud Alps. The pick will grow as new regions are added.

Will the order change?

Yes: once hikers have left enough reviews, the order will follow their ratings.

Are these hikes difficult?

They range from easy to difficult. Each one's SwitzerlandMobility grades are shown in the list, and our difficulty page explains what they mean.
