7 Hidden Gems: Uncovering the Quirky Side of Swiss Tourism

Beyond its reputation for exquisite chocolates, Alpine skiing, and banking, Switzerland holds a treasure trove of surprises waiting to be discovered.

Nestled in the heart of Europe, Switzerland is known for its stunning landscapes, sophisticated cities, and high-quality watches. Yet, beyond its reputation for exquisite chocolates, Alpine skiing, and banking, this landlocked nation holds a treasure trove of surprises waiting to be discovered. As we embark on this journey, we delve beneath the surface, shedding light on a different side of Swiss tourism. Here, we unveil seven fascinating facts that will make you see Switzerland in a whole new light, transforming the familiar into the unexpected. Join us as we navigate through vineyards, railways in the sky, peculiar hotels, and more in the captivating panorama of Swiss tourism. Prepare to be intrigued, amazed, and inspired by the unusual and the extraordinary.

  1. Smallest vineyard in the world: The city of Geneva, Switzerland, is home to the smallest vineyard in the world, the “Le Domaine de l’Île”. It’s located on the smallest island in the Rhône, “Ile Rousseau”. The vineyard measures only 405 square meters but still produces wine every year.
  2. Highest-altitude tourism: Switzerland is home to the “Top of Europe,” a tourist destination in Jungfraujoch, which is the highest railway station in Europe, standing at over 3,454 meters (11,332 feet) above sea level. It’s so high up that you can actually feel the shortage of oxygen.

  1. Hiking heaven: Switzerland has over 65,000 kilometers of hiking trails. That’s more than the circumference of the Earth! This network of trails covers a variety of landscapes, including mountains, forests, meadows, and historical sites.
  2. Hotel for no one: Null Stern Hotel in Switzerland is the world’s first zero-star hotel. It’s an art installation where the room is open to the environment, has no walls, no roof, and is situated in the middle of the Swiss Alps. Talk about unique accommodation!
  3. A St. Bernard might rescue you: The St. Bernard dog breed, often associated with mountain rescues, originates from the Great St. Bernard Hospice, a traveler’s hospice on the often treacherous Great St. Bernard Pass in the Alps. Today, they’re more of a tourist attraction than a life-saving service, but the legacy continues.
  4. Matterhorn shadows: The famous Matterhorn peak in the Alps, one of the most photographed mountains in the world, casts a shadow during sunrise that can be seen from miles away. It’s a unique spectacle that attracts photographers and tourists.
  5. Swiss watches as souvenirs: Switzerland is known worldwide for its high-quality watches, and these timepieces are often the preferred souvenir for tourists. One might think that Swiss watches are a recent phenomenon, but the Swiss have been perfecting the art of watchmaking since the end of the 16th century.
