Hiking and Walking Group
Members of this group meet regularly to walk and hike throughout Switzerland. The walks are organised by the members themselves and this results in a wide variety of hikes, catering to varying abilities. The walks are on different days of the week (including Sundays) and include short walks near Zurich as well as full day mountain hikes.

Here a selection of (alpine) hikes made by this group [click on each picture in order to enlarge]:

(Note: the above pictures happened to be taken on all day mountain hikes, but the group proposes also easy walks in the countryside).

Hiking is a good way to meet other people who love being outdoors and who enjoy the Swiss landscape. Many of the group meet up more often than the regular trips, to simply walk with friends.
