Swiss Via Alpina

Il luogo

The Swiss Via Alpina is the national leg of the pan-Alpine Via Alpina network, running from a short prologue in Liechtenstein above Vaduz to Montreux on Lake Geneva. Over twenty official stages it crosses roughly sixteen alpine passes through the Glarus Alps, the canton of Uri, the Bernese Oberland's Bear Trail region and the Pays-d'Enhaut into French-speaking Vaud. No single stage is extreme, but the cumulative length and elevation gain sustained over two to three weeks make it a serious, hard multi-week high-alpine traverse best suited to experienced trekkers.
