From lush valleys to active nightlife to astounding mountain peaks, Switzerland is a land of great beauty and timelessness. Nowhere is this as true as in the Swiss Alps, where you can still find farmers cutting hay and grain with a scythe, untouched and pristine wilderness and breathtaking waterfalls. Considered the most picturesque part of the Alps, the truly mind-boggling heights display nature at its most rugged and beautiful.
If you’re planning a trip to the Alps, bring layered clothing, hiking boots and a translation dictionary as there are four languages spoken in Switzerland, German, French, Italian and Romansh. Let’s explore the best mountaintops Switzerland has to offer:

1. Jungfrau

Jungfrau must be first on our list. This towering peak holds the hearts of the Swiss people, with villages scattered around it that seem caught in the mists of time. As part of a ridgeline with separate peaks, Jungfrau is in line with the Monch and the Eiger, creating a truly breathtaking scene.
