class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

26 cantons, 26 summits – here is Blick and OCHSNER SPORT’s 26 Summit hiking challenge. The 26 walking routes include everything from simple, flat paths to high mountain walks including ferrata. If you enjoy hiking as a family, you should pay special attention to ensuring that even the youngest members of the group get along and do not get bored. That’s why we have compiled the three most beautiful family walks from 26 peaks for you.

The most striking aspect of the route in the canton of Baselland is the old castle ruins waiting for you towards the end of the road. Not only does it offer an exciting glimpse into the past for adults, but it’s especially hard for little ones to stop being amazed. The steep climb is worth it. When viewed from the top, you can imagine yourself in the place of the counts who watched over their lands here 1000 years ago.

You hike for about two hours on this route, which passes through steppe and forest landscapes from Schwegegalp to Kronberg in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden. It is a hike that even the youngest can easily manage, with a climb of approximately 500 meters. You may come across a herd or two of cows on the road. But the real event awaits you after the descent: Jakobsbad, which can be reached by cable car or on foot, has ziplines, a bobsleigh track and an adventurous view with a fairy tale world.

With a walking time of just under four and a half hours in the canton of Jura, the 26 Peaks hike is not short, but still very suitable for families with slightly older children. The first highlight awaits you in the first part of the walk: you can admire the impressive stalagmites and stalactites on a 1.5 kilometer tour of the Réclère caves. Including the largest stalagmites in Switzerland. Strengthened by these impressions, the rest of the walk can be completed without any problems.
