Our itinerary was inspired by a few stages of the Alpine Passes long-distance trail (Stages 21-24). The entirety of this hike is within the Valais Alps, in the French region of Switzerland. It is five days of high-alpine hiking, with four nights in remote mountain huts, and some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. Every day was somehow more impressive than the last. I don’t say this lightly, but: this might be one of the best multi-day hikes in Switzerland.
A seriously gorgeous hike that makes you feel like you are in the heart of Switzerland. The namesake three lakes (Seeaplsee, Fählensee, and Sämtisersee) are all beautiful in their own right, but this trail has so much on offer: a heart-pumping climb for a bird-eyes view of Seealpsee, the most charming herdsmans village of Megaslip tucked high and deep in the mountains, and sweeping views of Santis and the sharp, distinctive ridges of the Apstein - just to name a few of the highlights.
