Schwyz on foot

Blurb
From the flatland hikes around Lake Zurich to the charming hills of the pre-Alps and the solitary alpine paths in the southern region - the 20 hikes gathered in this book showcase the entire scenic diversity of the canton of Schwyz. Patrik Litscher shares stories from everyday life along the way, often uncovering surprising insights about what shapes the area and its people: mystics and monks, disaster protection in times of climate change, traditional mountain farming, or the success story of the Swiss Army Knife. The hikes vary in length and difficulty. There are routes for leisurely walks and those that require stamina and navigation skills. The service section provides information on getting to and from the hikes using public transport, as well as restaurant and accommodation recommendations.
