Beer Hiking Switzerland: a must for outdoorsy beer lovers

Beer Hiking Switzerland is a must-have book for any outdoorsy beer lovers.

Thanks to the author's own passion for beer and hiking, this beautiful companion contains a lifetime of experiences. The author thinks that hiking produces the best kind of thirst which can only be satisfied with a cold one.

Therefore, Monika Saxer chose the destinations of her hikes strategically. Whether they are a traditional Swiss restaurant, a local pub, or a microbrewery: as long as they serve a unique Swiss brew to quench a hiker's thirst, they will qualify...

Putting Beer Hiking Switzerland to the test

We have tried a couple of the hikes from the German version of Beer Hiking Switzerland, and we are hooked. Each hike is accessible by public transport. On a snapshot page, the book highlights the starting point and destination, the time required, and the brand of beer that is waiting as a reward.

One day, we decided to hike to the ZRH Airport. Up to this point, we only knew this place as airline passengers. But by hiking the well-marked paths at the airport, we ended up finding some truly unique sights. Who knew that there is a camel farm with live animals just a stone's throw from the runway?

The panoramic beer hike from Zürich Rehalp to Meilen was another highlight. We hiked among green fields and cool forests, unbelievable mansions, and quaint farms. At the harbor in Meilen, the kiosk lady hooked us up with bottles of Goldküstenbräu - delivered as promised!
