The Gemmipass is a historic mountain passage connecting Canton Valais and Canton Bern, which, has been used since ancient times (coins from the Roman empire have been found here). The hike is about 8.5 km with about 80 m of ascent and 480 m of decent along well maintained gravel paths.

Stage 8 of the Trans Swiss trail is a 15 km long hike with 280 m of ascent and 250 m of descent. The trail goes from Murten to Laupen and it is a fairly easy walk through fields, forest, and small towns.

The Goldauer – Bergsturzspur Loop (route 828) is an 8km long hike with 540 m elevation change. This hike takes you through the Goldau landslide area.

Stage 7 of the Trans Swiss trail is a 19 km long hike with a 360 m ascent and a decent of 340 m. The trail technically goes from Neuchâtel to Murten, but as you cross Lake Neuchâtel with the ferry, you don’t actually start hiking until you reach Cudrefin.

We completed stage 3, Soubey to Saignelégier. At 12 km, this stage was a relatively short hike, but with an 800 m gain in altitude, it was not an easy hike.

This easy trail (just under 5 k) took us from Immensee to Küssnacht am Rigi. Along the way, we walked the narrow passage where legend says Wilhelm Tell shot the Austrian bailiff Gessler (The Hohle Gasse) and we explored the castle ruins at Gesslerberg.

Over the Easter weekend, we hiked the “Three Waterfalls Trail” in the Bernese Oberland. At 17 km, and about 775 m elevation gain, (plus more depending on how much exploring you do around each waterfall to get the best views), it is a long hike, but lovely hike.
