Crisp, clear mountain air and high vantage points offer up some of the biggest, most spectacular vies in Europe - with jagged, snow-capped peaks etched acros wide blue skies. If you've never visited the region before, we'd recommend the Bernese Oberland area of Wengen/Grindelwald and Mürren - spotless little villages perched on a mountain terrace - for their mix of weasy to navigate trails, amazing mountain scenery, and vivid, flower-scented valleys.
