Hiking/Trekking

Switzerland is full of amazing themed hikes. Maybe it's a fairy tale trail that tells stories of brave heroes, a barefoot path that tickles your feet, or an educational walk where you learn which herbs grow along the forest’s edge. Along the way, you’ll find puzzles to solve, hidden clues to uncover, or mysterious animal tracks waiting to be deciphered. The scent of earth fills the air, your shoes crunch on ground – who will be the first to spot a hidden forest secret? And who dares to close their eyes and just listen to the sounds of the woods?

Waterfalls are breathtaking – some crash down wildly, spraying you from a distance, while others trickle gently over rocks before winding their way through the valley as a mountain stream. Step into the refreshing coolness of a stream or stand under a light waterfall drizzle. A natural pool invites you to dip your feet and feel the crisp, clear water. Maybe you’d rather splash in the sun with friends while the water gurgles over the stones. But be careful – streams can turn fast and unpredictable, especially after rain. Stay in safe areas and keep a steady grip to avoid slipping.

Imagine yourself as an explorer in the heart of untouched nature. Set off into Swiss Parks, where wild landscapes are just waiting to be discovered. Whether you're hiking through dense forests, resting by crystal-clear mountain lakes, or uncovering hidden corners of nature, there’s something for adventurers big and small. You might spot marmots curiously peeking out of their burrows or come across rare plants along the trail. Pack your backpack, lace up your hiking boots, and let the beauty of Switzerland’s parks inspire you. Who knows what secrets nature has in store for you?

The clouds feel within reach, the trees whisper around you, and the wind brushes against your face – step up onto a treetop walk and get ready for a unique adventure high above the ground. As you walk along the elevated path, you move at the same level as the treetops, seeing the forest from a new perspective with every step. For once, you get to see the world as birds and squirrels do. A treetop walk isn’t just about the breathtaking views – it’s also a chance to spot animals and plants you might otherwise overlook. And don’t worry, the path is completely safe, so you can fully focus on the beauty of nature and enjoy the experience to the fullest.

It’s dark, the world is asleep, and the stars sparkle in the sky. But instead of heading to bed, you step outside – with an adult by your side – to see the world in a whole new way. A night walk feels almost magical. The sounds of nature are different, the air is fresher, and the moon casts a soft glow over everything. Maybe there’s a special place nearby that feels even more mysterious at night. And who knows – you might even spot animals that only come out after dark. A night walk is the perfect way to slow down, soak in the quiet, and enjoy the peaceful stillness of the night.

Ready for a real treasure hunt? Grab an eye patch, dress like a pirate, and set off with friends or family to track down a hidden treasure somewhere in nature. Geocaching is like a modern-day scavenger hunt. Using a GPS device or your phone, you search for hidden containers or secret stashes. Often, these lead you to beautiful, hidden spots you might never have found otherwise. It’s a great adventure for families and friends – and a little competition makes it even more exciting. By the end of the day, you won’t just have found a hidden surprise – you might also discover a new favorite place.

Ready, steady, go! Whether you glide along smoothly or pick up speed, roller skating feels like dancing on wheels. Find a smooth path – maybe a park trail or an empty space in a car-free zone – and move however you like. Spin in circles, weave around obstacles, or skate a lap with friends. Don’t forget to wear a helmet and pads for safety. And remember – every turn, every push takes you further into the adventure. So grab your skates – the pavement is waiting.

The peak is calling – a hike to the top is an adventure for the whole family! The climb is full of variety, sometimes steep, sometimes gentle, and every step feels like a little adventure. Maybe you catch the scent of the forest or hear the trickling of a nearby stream. Remember to stay on marked trails and bring plenty of water. Together, you can make it to the top and take in the breathtaking view. Who will spot the next summit waiting to be conquered?

Small stones, big art – become an artist and build your own stone tower. You can find the perfect stones everywhere in nature. Stack them up and see how many you can balance – each one is a little work of art that you can proudly leave behind in the forest, by a lake, or anywhere outdoors. But be mindful not to block important paths or place them in unsafe spots, and make sure your tower is stable so the stones don’t topple onto your feet. Stacking stones is a reminder that you can create something new from whatever you find around you.

A picnic is more than just eating outdoors – it’s a celebration for nature lovers. Pack your favorite snacks, grab a blanket, and find a beautiful spot. Maybe a clearing in the forest, large boulders with a wide-open view, or a secret spot by the river? And what’s on your plate (or in your hands)? Homemade sandwiches, bright red strawberries, or sweet waffles? Maybe even campfire bread? And because a real adventure isn’t just about food – how about a game around the picnic blanket? A race to the nearest tree, a round of hide-and-seek between the bushes, or simply lying on your back and counting the animals and funny shapes you see in the clouds.

Have you ever seen a beetle crawl along the path or a bird clean its feathers? When hiking, you can step into a hidden world. Find an exciting path: perhaps a narrow forest trail, a sunny meadow, or a stream with glittering stones. Look closely – where are tiny living creatures hiding? Who will be the first to spot a feather or a tree trunk you can balance on? Listen to the sounds: the rustling of leaves, the babbling of water, or the tapping of a woodpecker. Take a break, enjoy a picnic, and watch who comes by – perhaps a curious squirrel or a butterfly dancing in the air. And if you stay really still, you might even see a deer between the trees. Nature is full of stories – you just have to look closely.

Chain oiled, helmet on – it’s time for takeoff! In the forest, every hill becomes a challenge and every turn an adventure. Feel the wind as you ride along the trail and listen to the crunch of the forest floor beneath your tires. But remember, safety comes first! Stay on the paths, slow down at tight spots, and be mindful of others on the trail. If you need a break, sit on a fallen log, take a sip of water, and soak in the sounds of the forest. Ready for the next round?

Knead, wrap, roast – campfire bread is the highlight of any evening by the fire. Prepare the dough at home, find a nice spot outdoors, and build a fire. Pick a sturdy stick, wrap your dough around it, and slowly turn it over the flames. As the bread turns golden brown, share stories or sing together. Baking doesn’t have to happen in a kitchen – you can also make a delicious apple tart, bake cookies with your family, or even homemade treats for birds and squirrels. The adventure begins with simple ingredients.

Have you ever wanted to take a neighborhood dog for a walk? With an adult by your side, you can go on an exciting stroll, guide the dog on a leash, and maybe even teach it a new trick. Dogs love being active, and there’s always something to discover on a walk! Just remember – always respect the dog and ask the owner before playing or petting it.
