Category: Gorge Hike
Switzerland has many impressive gorges cut by rivers and glaciers over millennia, some that are tourist attractions you must pay to visit and other others wild in nature and require a hike to visit. Here are ten that we recommend.
Explore this narrow river gorge on elevated walkways built into the rock walls, admiring the interesting curved formations and icy blue water running through the middle.
Walk through a narrow river gorge on an elevated walkway. Plus a few amusements include walking on a net over the river and an exciting canyon swing.
Explore this narrow river gorge on a safe walkway above the roaring river below. For a longer outing, add on a canyon walk and swim at nearby thermal baths.
Short hike passing through a narrow river gorge with metal walkways built into the rocks walls. Free to visit.
Viewpoint over this narrow gorge with short walkways in the rock wall to get a closer look. Kids can do a treasure hunt using binoculars to spy hidden clues in the canyon.
After an easy walk through fields and forests to the dramatic lookout over the Rhein Gorge, you can continue hiking all the way down the gorge to the river below, where you can admire the interesting cliff formations from a different perspective. The river below is a great spot for a fire and picnic. One way hike 7.8 km, return by train.
Beautiful forest walk to lookout over the Rhein Gorge, with interesting cliff formations dropping into a river below. Good choice for spring. Easy 7 km round trip, possible with strollers.
Hike through a beautiful gorge near Porto, Corsica, where you can swim on hot summer days.
