88. Hike Schynige Platte to Faulhorn to First, Switzerland
You will need to visit the Jungfrau Region to complete this beautiful 16-kilometer point-to-point hike. Mind you, while some hikers and travel writers consider this a favorite trek to take, it is rated as strenuous, has an ascent of 860 meters, and has a descent of 690 meters. Give yourself a good six hours to complete this worthy challenge.
Start this big hike with a scenic ride up into the massive mountains on a comfy cogwheel train. Once you disembark, you will be hiking by alpine lakes, belled cows, snow-dusted trails, rugged mountain huts, and enjoying some of the best views of the famous Swiss Alps you could ever see. It’s one of the best longer day hikes here.
