| Albinen |  |
| Some of the village streets are cobbled, but many are simply paved in the old-fashioned way, as can be seen in this alleyway leading steeply down to the church of Saint-Nicolas de Flüe, whose silhouette contrasts with the ancient buildings. Built in 1959-1960 in a very modern style after the destruction of the old church by the 1946 earthquake, the church is nevertheless perfectly integrated into the village landscape. |
| Aletsch | |
| The largest glacier in the Alps, the Aletsch Glacier is located in the Bernese Alps, between the Jungfrau massif and the Rhone Valley. It can be admired by taking cable cars from the Goms valley. |
| Brig | |
| At the foot of the majestic Stockalper Castle, large gardens invite you to take a stroll. Our virtual tour starts here, then crosses the castle courtyard and takes you through the cobbled streets of the old town. To discover the 77 views we've shot, follow the Street View arrows embedded in the panoramas. |
| Furka | |
| The Furka Pass, 2429 m over sea level, is a high mountain pass in the Swiss Alps, connecting the Goms Valley (Valais/Wallis), to Andermatt (Uri, Central Switzerland). Scenes of Goldfinger, with Sean Connery as James Bond, were shot here. |
| Gemmi | |
| From Leukerbad to Daubensee via the Gemmi Pass at 2270m, this region on the southern slopes of the Bernese Alps is a hiker's paradise in summer. |
| Grimsel | |
| The Grimsel is a Swiss high mountain pass, 2,165 m above sea level, connecting the Haslital (upper valley of the Aar river, in Bernese Highlands) to the Conches Valley, in Upper Valais. |
| Leuk/Loèche | |
| Restored by the famous architect Mario Botta, the castle can be recognised from afar by the glass roof at the top of its early Romanesque tower (11th-13th centuries). A former episcopal residence, it has become a place of creative exchange and inspiration, straddling the past and the future. |
| Lötschental | |
| One of Switzerland's most isolated alpine valleys, where during carnival week in February, the terrifying Tschäggätta monsters haunt the valley from dusk onwards... |
| Mattertal | |
| The valley at the end of which lies the famous village of Zermatt, from where you can admire the emblematic Matterhorn and the glaciers from the vertiginous Gornergrat. One of Switzerland's tourist musts! |
| Nufenen/Novena | |
| Switzerland's highest motorable pass, at 2478m, connects Ulrichen in the Upper Valais to Airolo in Ticino. It is open from June to October, and in August 2021 we shot 16 panoramas here at the top of the pass, as well as two series further down, 10 on the Valais side and 12 on the Ticino side. |
| Saastal | |
| The Saas Valley, with the prestigious tourist destination of Saas Fee and the villages of Saas Balen, Saas Grund and Saas Almagell, lies at the foot of numerous peaks above 4000 m. |
| Salgesch | |
| The easiest way to visit the wine-growing village of Salquenen is to park your car next to the church of Saint John the Baptist. The centre of the village is just a stone's throw away, just follow the street that opens up opposite the main entrance to the church. |
| Simplon | |
| This Alpine pass, at an altitude of 2006 m, connects Brig, in the Upper Valais, to Domodossola, in Italy. Open all year round, it is, along with the Great St Bernard, the only mountain pass linking the Valais to Italy. |
| Turtmann | |
| Here we are on Dorfstrasse (Village Street), which takes us towards the historic centre of Turtmann. Behind us, the road leads to a crossroads from where we can visit the church, discover the waterfall and take the cable car to Unterems and Oberems. Use the arrows embedded in the panoramas to go for a walk! |
| Varen | |
| Overlooking the church of Maria Sieben Schmerzen ("Mary of the Seven Sorrows"), the Schachtuhubil viewpoint offers a magnificent panorama of the plain and mountains. The Rhône valley here has escaped industrialisation and urbanisation. This is the protected area of the Pfynwald, one of the largest pine forests in Central Europe. |
