One of my favorite hikes in Switzerland is the Oeschinensee panorama hike. Simply because the views around this mountain lake are insane. Every corner you turn, offers a different stunning view. From the vivid turquoise of the lake, to the enormous mountains towering over you and even some waterfalls. It blew my mind.

From Zurich there are a lot of nice day trips that are close to the city. You can visit the largest waterfall in Europe: The Rhine Falls, hike on mount Rigi with epic views of lake Luzern or stroll on a wooden bridge to lovely Rapperswil. And there is more ;-).
