Lucerne and the Swiss Alps

Lucerne is a picturesque city, famous for its Chapel Bridge and well-preserved old town. It is often the starting point for exploring the Swiss Alps, particularly Mount Pilatus and Mount Rigi, offering breathtaking panoramas. From the lake, a cable car leads to the summit of Mount Pilatus, where visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the mountains and turquoise waters. At the foot of the mountain, in the surrounding villages, you can enjoy traditional dishes, including the famous fresh trout, prepared in cozy inns that reflect the authenticity of Swiss cuisine.

The Rhine Falls

The Rhine Falls, located near Schaffhausen, offer a breathtaking spectacle with their powerful waters tumbling down from a height of 23 meters and a width of 150 meters, making them the largest waterfalls in Europe. Easily accessible, they offer several observation points, including a platform at the heart of the falls for total immersion. The site is ideal for a walk along the water's edge, a boat cruise, or simply to admire the power and beauty of nature. A must-see during a trip to Switzerland.

Aare Gorge

The Aare Gorge, located near Meiringen in the canton of Bern, offers an impressive hike along a narrow canyon carved by the Aare River. The well-maintained trails allow you to walk through this wild setting, between steep cliffs, waterfalls, and natural cavities similar to small caves. The route offers an immersive experience close to alpine nature, with suspension bridges and spectacular viewpoints. It's an ideal excursion for lovers of hiking and magnificent landscapes.

Oeschinensee and Blausee

Among Switzerland's natural wonders, the Oeschinensee and Blausee lakes stand out for their striking beauty. Oeschinensee, located near Kandersteg in the Bernese Oberland, is a mountain lake surrounded by towering peaks. Accessible by cable car and then a short hike, it offers crystal-clear, deep blue water, ideal for swimming or walking. Blausee, smaller but equally enchanting, is located in the Central Switzerland region. This turquoise lake is surrounded by a protected forest and is home to a fish farm where visitors can enjoy fresh trout in a soothing natural setting. These two sites, which are among my favorites, perfectly embody the natural, unspoiled charm of Switzerland.
