The highest is the Dufourspitze, 4,634 m, in the <a href=\"\/monte-rosa\/\">Monte Rosa<\/a> massif; the most famous is the <a href=\"\/matterhorn\/\">Matterhorn<\/a>, 4,478 m, on the Italian border. The Alps cover more than half the country, so there are mountain resorts for every season, from the car-free villages of Valais to the lakes of the Engadine.<\/p>\n<p>Most visitors fly into Zurich or Geneva, and both airports have their own railway station. By train from Zurich main station you reach St. Moritz in 3 h 05 and Zermatt in 3 h 15, each with one change. From Geneva, Verbier is about 2 hours by car and Zermatt about 3 h 45 by train. From Milan, St. Moritz is about 169 km by road and Zermatt&#8217;s car park at T\u00e4sch about 230 km.<\/p>\n<p>On this page: the mountains to see, the resorts and who they suit, the scenic trains, skiing, real costs in Swiss francs and how to get there, including the 2026 motorway vignette. Switzerland is expensive, so further down you will find official prices and practical ways to spend less.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-1225382526 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #row-1225382526 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 40px 0px 40px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1823009637\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-967297031\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >What to see in Switzerland<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1676135672\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Svizzera-2-1024x651.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"What to see in Switzerland \u2013 Svizzera\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Svizzera-2-1024x651.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Svizzera-2-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Svizzera-2-768x488.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Svizzera-2-1536x976.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bestmountain.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Svizzera-2-2048x1301.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1676135672 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>The mountains and high-altitude sights worth the trip.

Monte Rosa is shared with Italy; on the Swiss side the best view is from the Gornergrat, with the Gorner glacier below you.<\/p>\n<h3>Matterhorn Glacier Paradise<\/h3>\n<p>On the Klein Matterhorn the panoramic station is at 3,883 m, the highest cable car station in Europe. It is open all year, with an ice palace inside the glacier. It is also where the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing starts: opened in 2023, it takes you by cable car over the border at 3,480 m to Breuil-Cervinia in Italy, in 1.5 to 2 hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Jungfraujoch, Eiger and Grindelwald<\/h3>\n<p>The Bernese Oberland is home to Switzerland&#8217;s best-known trio: Eiger, M\u00f6nch and Jungfrau. The train climbs to the Jungfraujoch, 3,454 m, the highest railway station in Europe. From Interlaken Ost it takes about 1 h 30; from Grindelwald Terminal, with the Eiger Express gondola and then the train, about 45 minutes. It is an expensive trip; the Swiss Travel Pass gives a discount.<\/p>\n<h3>The Aletsch Glacier<\/h3>\n<p>The longest glacier in the Alps, about 22 km long and up to about 900 m thick. The Jungfrau-Aletsch area was the first natural UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Alps. You see it from above at the Jungfraujoch, or from the viewpoints above the Rh\u00f4ne valley in Valais.<\/p>\n<h3>Glacier 3000 and the Peak Walk<\/h3>\n<p>Near <a href=\"\/switzerland\/gstaad\/\">Gstaad<\/a>, cable cars climb from the Col du Pillon (1,546 m) to almost 3,000 m in 15 minutes. At the top, the Peak Walk is a suspension bridge 107 m long and 80 cm wide linking two summits. On clear days you can see the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc and the Eiger. Winter 2026\/27 return ticket: CHF 95 per adult.<\/p>\n<h3>The Engadine and St. Moritz<\/h3>\n<p>The Upper Engadine, in Graub\u00fcnden, is a high valley at about 1,800 m with a chain of lakes: Sils, Silvaplana, St. Moritz. In winter the lakes freeze; in summer there is sailing, kitesurfing and flat walking trails. Above the valley, the ski areas of Corviglia, Corvatsch and Diavolezza face the Bernina range.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<style>\n#row-1823009637 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px;\n  background-color: rgb(255,255,255);\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #row-1823009637 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 30px 40px 0px 40px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-328594625\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-647554403\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-bottom:10px;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >The best mountain resorts in Switzerland<\/span><b><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n<p>Swiss resorts are very different from each other: car-free villages, mountain towns, chalet villages.
