4 Awesome Swiss Outdoor Activities
There are so many awesome Swiss outdoor activities, I’m not quite sure how to narrow it down. You could easily go for a “wanderweg” (pronounced “vander-vegh) no matter where you are in this amazing Alpine country. The paths are public, the scenery is beautiful and there is something for every skill level and age. If you aren’t sure you want to organize your own trip, check out these wanderlust-worthy deals and tours for some memorable Swiss outdoor activities.
No matter how you decide to plan your Swiss adventure, here are four memory-making Swiss outdoor activities your entire family will enjoy.
1. Rent An Electric Bike
There are several ways to get to the top of the Alps. Of course, you could rent a car and drive. But, that’s not always going to get you to the top. The latest craze is to rent an Ebike. Whether you are a cycling enthusiast or not, an e-bike should make for an easy ride up the hill without the burning calf muscles. If you can ride a bike, this is definitely something to consider. I found this quick video that tells you all about Ebikes in Interlaken.
2. Hike Seealpsee
Hiking Seealpsee is what the Swiss might call a gentle hike, but as an irregular hiker, I’d call it moderate. Having hiked it in December, with kids, I know it is doable for those wanting to see the pristine lakes and meadows of the Alpine countryside. If you feel like splurging, then there’s no need to pack an entire picnic (but do bring water and a quick energy snack just in case), there is a full-service restaurant that overlooks the lake.

Can you imagine spending the day hiking, having a very Swiss meal overlooking the lake, and then strolling back down the hill into town? Bucket list dream come true!
Seealpsee in the Winter.
Yes, we are playing on a frozen lake! One of the most memorable Christmas adventures I’ve ever had! It looks like we are all by ourselves, but we weren’t. There were at least 100 hikers that came to play that day.
3. Explore Caverns and Caves
4. Swiss Festivals
It’s easy to include a Swiss festival in your itinerary. There is at least one every month. Christmas and snow festivals in the winter along with beer, balloon, and street art festivals in the milder seasons. This post gives a rundown of the best for every month of the year.
