20 Fantastic Places to Discover in the Alps

Delia Tugui | January 18, 2017

Oh, the Alps — this wonderful range with a bunch of delightful sceneries, emerald lakes, wide valleys and idyllic towns! I absolutely love these mountains, so I decided to write about 20 fantastic places you can check out along your alpine journey:

1. Stanserhorn, Switzerland

This friendly, amazing mountain rises to an altitude of no less than 1898 meters. It’s easily accessible, so it has become a popular destination for numerous travel enthusiasts. Its peak can be reached by cable car or hiking trails. Both versions offer fantastic panoramic views over the surrounding valleys and mountain chains.

This is the best vantage point, giving tourists the chance to admire the spectacular scenery. Also, if you’re in good physical condition, the hiking trails offer great opportunities to spend a lovely day outdoors.
