Facts

• Wandersite
  
  (German)

  Private website by Ursula Brem, with loads of information and links on hiking in Switzerland. Some info in English. Don't get fooled by the somewhat outdated design: the information is usually up to date and very thorough. By the way, the shoes in the picture on the homepage are not Ursula's.....

• Swiss Panorama
  

  Multilingual website and club dedicated to hiking, although mostly day-hikes. Some nice maps and info on accommodation.

Reports
