Switzerland is a dream destination for nature lovers, with dramatic Alpine landscapes, crystal clear lakes, scenic hiking trails and charming mountain villages. From the Swiss Alps to peaceful valleys and picture perfect towns, the country offers endless opportunities for outdoor adventures, road trips and unforgettable views.

After living in Switzerland for four years, we had the chance to explore far beyond the most famous places. On Alive & Roaming, we want to share not only the classic highlights, but also quieter valleys, lesser known hiking trails, small villages and local spots that are often overlooked. Our goal is to help you discover a more authentic and off the beaten path side of Switzerland, while still including the iconic places that are absolutely worth visiting.
