The Swiss have an extensive nationwide
trail system. Every trail is well sign posted with information on the level of difficulty and
time it will take for the hike. Many of the trails are designated Wanderweg
which are "paths for everyone." One of our favorite
short Wnaderweg in the Jungfrau region is the
Lauterbrunnen to Stechelberg Wanderweg on the valley floor. Along the way you pass close to the Trummelbach waterfalls .
For joggers: the Lauterbrunnen-Stechelberg Wanderweg [**]
is a 10.
The nicest long Wanderweg is the
trail to Rotstockhutte [***]. The "off
road" town of Murren is a good base for
several days of hiking.

You can't get lost in Switzerland. The
yellow sign trail markers are a familiar sight all over. They are color coded for level of
difficulty. They also tell you the time it
will take and whether there is a train, cable car, or bus at the end.
