Welcome to Alpine Traveler

Here you’ll find an unbiased Switzerland travel guide for people who want real advice on where to go and what to do, and to experience the best that Switzerland has to offer.

Travel to Switzerland evokes many images: flower-covered meadows, bell-ringing cows, chocolate, Heidi, and of course, fairy-tale mountains! The thing is, Switzerland is all this and much, much more. While there are many beautiful, intriguing places around the world, very few are as scenic and awe-inspiring as Switzerland. It’s one of those places that not only lives up to its billing, but exceeds all expectations.

The people are friendly and honest, travel is easy and reliable, the food is good, the history is rich, and many villages and valleys seem as if they’re plucked from a dream. The Swiss Alps are a paradise for hikers, train buffs and chocolate lovers, and are a stunning destination for travelers of all stripes. Our Switzerland travel guide is designed to help you discover all the beauty, culture and adventure that this stunning destination holds.
