Switzerland offers much more than its famous destinations. This collection features places where nature and history are discovered at a gentle pace, far from crowds. You will find mountain refuges perched on rocks like Berggasthaus Aescher-Wildkirchli, wild valleys where ibex and chamois live, like Creux du Van, or medieval monasteries preserved in mountain villages such as Santa Maria. Each place tells a different story. Mount San Giorgio reveals fossils that are 240 million years old. Lauterbrunnen Valley has 72 waterfalls cascading down limestone cliffs. Binntal offers the chance to explore old mining tunnels in the heart of the Alps. These spots invite you to take your time, walk, observe, and feel the diversity of landscapes and traditions that make up Switzerland.
