There are some of you who might not like to take the conventional path. If so, Switzerland is still the place for you. You may find some of the Best skiing in Switzerland; but also you will find some places which may not be so famous but are really interesting and gets you thinking.

  • Andermatt is one of the best ski resorts in Switzerland; but is also the home of the Teufelsbrücke, or Devil's Bridge. It has an interesting story behind it. A bridge at such a height and nothing but a raging river to look down upon it is breathtaking and quite scary too.
  • Zermatt considered to be one of ‘the’ ski resorts in Switzerland boasts of the Evolver. Some architecture students experimented with their ideas and came up with this.  
  • It’s a spiral structure which gives a very different view of the mountains and keeps the architecture lover something to think about.
  • The Lion of Lucerne is a memorial in memory of the fallen soldiers of the famed French Revolution. It has been rightly called as the saddest stone of the world. In the Tramp Abroad, Mark Twain gave his piece of heart to this monument.
  • The Trift Bridge which is supposed to be the longest pedestrian bridge in the Swiss Alps is sure to give even Rambo nightmares. It looks so extremely feeble and unsafe, but on the contrary is well built and very safe. It is made with thick steel cables and bolted thick wooden planks. This is one dare that should be on your list. 

  • Yes, you can find some of the best skiing in Switzerland, but if you are just looking for a quiet vacation this can still be the place for you. With its scenic peaks, the villages and the glittering lakes; it’ll take your breath away.

    • In case you have an eye for architecture, this place has old towns even inside its cities. The Zytglogge clock tower in Bern and the Cathedral should be on your list.
    • If you are the kind of tourist who would also like to give shopping a go then do not forget the perfect Swiss watches and the addictive chocolates. Have we forgotten to mention the yummy cheese varieties available here?

  • The ski fields here are so large that you might as well ski from one ski resorts in Switzerland to another.
