Switzerland, day by day

23 places we have walked ourselves. 19 of them are a full day, morning to evening; 4 are shorter stops worth building a day around. All of them carry honest budget notes on what is worth paying for and what costs nothing at all.

Elsewhere in Switzerland

Müllheim, Bernese Oberland, Interlaken — places we have walked that do not have a written guide of their own yet. The list keeps getting shorter: Fribourg used to head it, and the Pilatus, the Aare Gorge, Gelmersee and Lungern and Habkern all left it in September 2026.

What is left is the residue: a valley, a region, a lakeside town and the Thurgau village the family emigrated from. Some of them will get a guide and some of them are not places you visit — /about is where Müllheim belongs, and it is already there.
