Although it’s been a while since our trip, I’ve finally taken the time to write about it. A few months ago we took a Swiss hiking vacation. It was amazing! It was my favorite vacation by far, maybe even better than our honeymoon.

First, we took a long flight into Geneva, Switzerland. From there we traveled with our group into Zermatt. Switzerland was a breathtaking country with plenty of friendly people and a great mix of the city and country.

We were able to enjoy the festivities of the country before taking our first hike up to the famous Matterhorn. The views on the mountain were unparalleled. Next, we went to another mountain with glistening lakes that perfectly reflected the previous mountain we climbed, the Matterhorn.

We also visited historic mountaineering museums and went on several longer and shorter hikes over the next few days.

My favorite part was the amazing stairways we explored around one of the world’s highest waterfalls, called Staubbach Falls. We also visited Lauterbrunnen, which had 72 waterfalls surrounded by beautiful rainbows.

The hikes were exhilirating and we returned with glorious pictures of waterfalls and mountain views. I don’t think our next trip will be able to top this last one! I would recommend everyone make it a goal to climb the Swiss Alps at least once in their life.
