My hiking holiday friends are considering a holiday next year to German speaking Switzerland. A German speaking member of the group recommended the region.
One of the main areas to visit will be his favourite, Pontresina, which has cheap or free transport. At least it did last time he was there.
I have had a quick look at it. The area is on the Eastern side of Switzerland, nearer to Germany, hence the language.
The Countryside in Pontresina, Switzerland
The countryside offers:
summer hiking,
