Long distance hiking along the Swiss Alps (Via Alpina route)

Hosted by

Michael

Corona-virus killed my summer vacation plans, so now I decided to stay put in Switzerland and hike the "Via Alpina" route across the Swiss Alps - but would be more fun, if I can find a companion to join me... .-) "Via Alpina" is a challenging route of almost 400 km in tough terrain, so you need to be in good physical shape and familiar with long distance hiking if you want to join. You can read more about "Via Alpina" here and the split of the route into 20 individual stages: https://www.schweizmobil.ch/en/hiking-in-switzerland/etappe-01240.html My plan is to do 2 stages per day, so approx. 40 km of hiking in 10 straight days (we can also include a few resting days in case needed)... We will sleep in basic B&B's or hostels along the route, there are plenty of options available - I will take care of the accomodation costs, so you would basically just have to bring money for your own food and supplies and the train ticket back to Zurich area at the end of the trail....
