Swiss Alps - Often characterized as the most spectacular part of the Alps
The Alpine region of Switzerland, conventionally referred to as the Swiss Alps, represents a major natural feature of the country and is, along with the Swiss Plateau and the Swiss portion of the Jura Mountains, one of its three main physiographic regions.
The Alps cover 65% of Switzerland's total 41,285 square kilometers (15,940 sq mi) surface area, making it one of the most alpine countries. The Alps are usually divided into two main parts, the Western Alps and Eastern Alps, whose division is along the Rhine from Lake Constance to the Splügen Pass.
Tourism in the Swiss Alps began with the first ascents of the main peaks of the Alps (Jungfrau in 1811, Piz Bernina in 1850, Monte Rosa in 1855, Matterhorn in 1856, Dom in 1858, Weisshorn in 1861) mostly by British mountain climbers accompanied by the local guides.
The country is pretty much purpose-built for adventure – from hiking to skiing to mountain biking and everything in between. The Swiss flag is a big plus, sure, but the Swiss Alps are even better.
Summer tourism
Switzerland enjoys a 62,000-km network of well-maintained trails, of which 23,000 are located in mountainous areas. Many mountains attract a large number of alpinists from around the world, especially the 4000-meter summits and the great north faces (Eiger, Matterhorn and Piz Badile).
Winter tourism
The Swiss Alps is one of the top spots for skiing in the world, and it boasts some of the best ski resorts, with, you guessed it, the best slopes.
The major destinations for skiing and other winter sports are located in Valais, Bernese Oberland, and Graubünden. Some villages are car-free and can be accessed only with public transports such as Riederalp and Bettmeralp.
