The Best of the Alps:

30 minutes; European Travel Guide

 

 

If Heidi is alive, sheÕs in this sky-high corner of the Swiss Alps, with cowbells ringing on breathtaking ridges. After settling into a traditional village where locals scythe hay by hand, we hike and bike. We blast an alphorn, get sprayed by waterfalls raging deep inside a mountain, and munch muesli for breakfast at 10,000 feet. For a finale, we ride EuropeÕs highest lift up the mighty Jungfrau for hot cocoa and oh-wow views.
