All-

Based on my research about hiking in May, I have become discouraged. Seems that majority of trails at any elevation above 2000m will be closed.

I am looking for suggestions and insight on multi-day treks within Switzerland – being able to experience the alps – during the month of May. Not set on any specific city, open for anything.

Thanks in advance for the help!

HI Digiacobbe04,

Here’s a few Spring hike suggestions you could do in mid May. Not too sure you can call these multi-day treks but it will give you some ideas where you can go hiking around this time of the year:

1. Rigi panorama trail near Lucerne: http://www.myswissalps.com/rigi
2. Ebenalp Wildkirchli – Eastern Switzerland: http://www.ebenalp.ch/en/summer/hiking
3. Lake Oeschinen in Kandersteg – Berner Oberland : http://www.oeschinensee.ch/en/
4. Trails around Walensee – Eastern Switzerland: heidiland.com/en/experience/hiking.html
5. Valle Verzasca – Ticino: http://www.myswissalps.com/hiking/lavertezzo-ganne
6. Furenalp, Engelberg – Central Switzerland: http://www.fuerenalp.ch/en/

Hope that helps!

Anna

The Ticino will be warmer.

Next time, come in late June or, better, September. ;-(
