The Titlis peak has spectacular glacier and mountain views. The glacier cave and cliff walk experiences are fun as is the chance to throw a snowball in August. A short hike half-way down the mountain completes the day.

The Tannalp winter hiking trail is 9 km long and makes a loop from Frutt Dorfli through the upland plateau past the Tannalp reservoir to the small village of Tannalp and back. With only 220 m of ascent and descent, this is fairly easy hike is a great way to enjoy the winter wonderland landscape.

We spent one night in the hotel at the top of Mount Pilatus, a towering peak in eastern Switzerland over-looking Lake Lucerne. While there we hiked the Tomlishorn Wildflower Trail and went up to Esel Viewpoint.

A hike (11 k) with everything I think a Swiss mountain hike should have – dramatic mountain peaks, alpine lakes, rolling meadows with grazing sheep and cows, and the sound of clinking cow bells.
