trek at May – looking for recomendatiom

Short summary – read this first

Idan is planning a 7-day hiking trip in the Swiss Alps at the beginning of May. As a first-time hiker in Switzerland, he is looking for recommendations on suitable trails and routes. He specifically wants to know if he can do hut-to-hut trekking, but it seems he may need to adjust his plans due to snow at higher elevations.

Key takeaways:
  • Avoid hut-to-hut trekking in May due to snow; choose village-to-village hikes or daily hikes from a base town instead.
  • Explore popular regions like Bernese Oberland and Lucerne for stunning lake and valley hikes.
  • Check the website for various hiking trails, as more options will be added soon.

    Hello Idan, welcome to MySwissAlps!

    Can you provide more information? What is it that you have in mind? Hut to hut trekking will not be possible in May, because the trails at higher elevations will still be covered in snow. But you can do village to village hiking or daily hikes from one base town. Most hiking suggestions on this website assume the latter.

    Do you prefer any region? If not, the Bernese Oberland and the Lucerne region would be worth to explore online and see if you like it. May is perfect to hike along the lakes and in the valleys. You can find many trails on our website, and more will be added soon.

    Does this get you started?
