My husband and I will be in Switzerland in September and hope to do some moderate hikes in the Zermatt and Bernese Oberland areas. Are there good hiking trail maps we should get before or during our trip?
Hi Blairp,
Welcome to MySwissAlps! Sure, there are very good maps available: myswissalps.com/ hiking/maps.
