@swiss.nature4: There are two reasons why the hiking industry is so prominent in Switzerland. Firstly, it’s the Alpine countryside, which deserves its own spot on the list. The endless array of hiking trails offer a sheer number of eye-captivating landscapes that can be found all throughout Switzerland, no matter where you look. Secondly, the majority of the hiking trails are well maintained, especially those that lay their path in close proximity to the marvelous Alps.
