My family lived in Switzerland, and I think soccerguy had some great ideas. The background photo on my computer is one I took when we went to see Trummelbach Falls!

You can also get some good ideas from Rick Steves’ books–but the hand-drawn maps in his books are often inaccurate and I cannot agree with his statement in his book Switzerland 2007, “Skip the big, dull city of Geneva…” Geneva is an expensive city, so when we visited, we stayed across the border in France and drove across every day. I loved touring the UN office (formerly the headquarters of the League of Nations) in Geneva as well as walking through the nearby parks and along Lake Geneva.

If you enjoy hiking, you might want to know that you can find maps of walking trails throughout Switzerland (wanderweg) online. You can get both a walking trail map and a public transportation map in order to explore and give yourself some flexibility.
